Traffic Building

List Building – Are You Maximizing Your Use of Articles in Your List Building?

I guess that is a pretty direct question, but I kind of wanted it to be. You see, when I first started out building my list, I sent all kinds of traffic to my site. I did the forum thing and the Adwords thing, and even did some ezine advertising.

But I was writing articles to get links back to my web site so Google would smile on me, and that happened. But that didn’t really get me the big traffic. I mean, number one is nice, but if it is a long-tailed keyword, and I am just subscribing, not selling…hmm….that just doesn’t cut it.

But what was really interesting is the amount of direct traffic I was receiving to my web site. As much as 100-200 visitors per day, just from the article directories. And by the way, I only get that kind of response from the ‘big three’ article directories. I think the other 497 are fine if you are looking for backlinks, but if you want immediate traffic, the ‘big three’ is the way to go.

So my question again – are you maximizing your use of article in your list building? If you don’t know, I recommend that you submit like 25 articles to the ‘big three’ article directories and find out. By the way, when you do that, set up your squeeze page on a separate web page so that the only traffic that is going to it is from your articles, that way you know for sure how much the articles are helping.
