The Personal Development Blog

In part 1 of this article I mentioned two traffic generating methods I am currently using:

- Create original content (I think this is the most important method to use long term).
- Linkreferral

In part 2 I will show let you know a few other steps you could take to attract traffic to your website or blog.

In the “how to get traffic” article series I will mainly focus on free methods.

Write lots of articles

Writing articles is one of the most powerful methods you can use to attract visitors. Sadly, I neglected writing articles for a long time. After I discovered how easy it is to attract visitors this way I now write at least one article every single day. Don’t worry if you think your writing sucks. You’ll come around with a little practice. If you don’t write articles you are literally waving goodbye to thousands of visitors every month.

Lets just say that each article you write attract 10 visitors a month. Some articles will atract less visitors and some will atract more. But the average might be around 10 visitors a month. If you commit your self to write one article every day, that adds up to 365 articles in one year. 365 X 10 = 3650. This means that writing just one article a day for a year will give you 3650 fresh visitors every single month for years to come. What if you could write two articles a day? Or three??

The three most important article-directories you should post your articles to are:

- Ezinearticles

- GoArticles

- SearchWarp

Google just love these directories. If you do this right (I know you will) your articles will show up on the first page of google in no time.
Tip: Try to target low competition keywords.

If you post one or more articles a day to one of those article-directories you should be seeing results very fast. I have not written articles for a very long time yet but it is my main method of attracting visitors to my website.

That’s it for today. I will be back with more advice on how to generate traffic, so be sure to check back often (or subscribe to the feed).
