Use article directory to get traffic to your website

Search engine's love links. Links are what they rely on for their search engine results. Without them the internet as we know it would perish. The more links you have coming into your website for a given search term the better it is for your webpage.

A link to your website from a site with a high page rank is of more importance, from the search engines standpoint, than a link from a site with a lower page rank.

When you write an article, you then submit it to websites called an article directory. Because the search engines loves fresh, relevant content, and article directories have fresh, relevant content the article directories are visited and spidered frequently by Google.com and other search engines.

That means if you have a new website and you submit a new article to an article directory chances are high that the search engine will find and spider your website within a matter of days.

When the search engine crawls the article directory, it will pick up your article and many times, if you have written it right, display it at or very near the top of search results for a given term. This usually means a quick boost of good quality traffic to your website.

Someone finds your article in the search engine, reads it, then follows the link to your website, and possibly purchases your products and services or subscribes to your newsletter.

When you write an article with the intent of submitting it to article directories for the purpose of generating traffic you need to keep in mind that your article will be placed on its own page.

Article directories place each individual article on its own page within the site.

This is of great advantage to you for several reasons.

Search engines rank pages, not sites. The more optimized an individual page is for a certain keyword term, the more relevant the page is to searchers and thus the more likely it is that your page will display on the first page of search results for a specific term.

When an article directory accepts your article and displays it on their website, the title of your article is used for the link text to the page of your article.

What is link text and how does this help you?

Here is an example of link text: link text goes here

The link text is the words that you would click on to take you to some other page on the internet.

Search engines consider that the link text within a link is very important.

For example, if you want your article to rank for a certain term, then you would want the link text to your article to include the Keywords you wish to rank for.

When search engines, especially Google, follow a link they read the link text to find out what a page is going to be about before they get to the actual page. The link text is considered of more importance to the search engines than the actual words on the page that Google finds once it gets there.
