subject: Article Marketing and Traffic Generation - How to Use Social Marketing Sign Posts For More Traffic [print this page] Article Marketing is the best free way to drive tons of highly qualified traffic to your web sites and blogs. You get highly qualified traffic because when someone reads your article, likes what you have to say, and then clicks thru in your Resource Box to get more information from you, they have virtually raised their hand and said "I want more information and I want it from you!"
Getting Traffic to Your Articles
So the next question becomes "how do I get more traffic to my articles so I can get more traffic from my articles?"
That's a great question, with lots of great answers and strategies. The one I want to share with you today involves leveraging Social Marketing tools to drive more traffic to your articles.
Social Marketing Sign Posts
Some folks still think that Social Marketing is just a passing fad. I have three things to say about those folks:
1) They are wrong.
2) They are your competition.
3) This is a good thing.
Here are just three Social Marketing tools that you can leverage as sign posts directing traffic to your articles.
Facebook - Create a Fan Page on Facebook. Announce to your fans when you are working on a new article. This builds anticipation for your article. Then when your article is done and published on your blog or EzineArticles, post the title of your article with a link back to your article. You could have a regular feature on your Fan Page where on a certain day of the week you published a new article link.
YouTube - With todays' technology and tools, you can quickly and easily create Video Articles out of your best articles and upload them to YouTube. We were raised on TV and YouTube is just another version of that powerful screen. Use it.
Be sure to include a link to the original article in the description of your video.
Twitter - Twitter is a gold mine for redirecting traffic to your articles. Once a new article is out, either on your blog or on an Article Directory, announce that the article is available. Then make multiple follow up announcements throughout the next few days as well. Use quotes from your article and include the link. Ask "Have you seen this yet?" and direct them to your article.
The thing to remember about Twitter is that it is very fluid. So an announcement you make one day in the morning might not be seen by someone who will see a similar announcement that you make the next afternoon.
