Tuesday, 27 June 2006

So, you have created a web site about a subject that you are passionate about; and you are proud of the look and feel of the site. Now what? How is this web site going to generate the traffic you are looking for and earn its keep?

No matter what your website focuses on (management, goal setting, dog training, ice skating, computer programming, arts & entertainment, home & garden, humor, etc.) your whole purpose of building it was to reach a target audience. If you are selling a product or a service, you want as many people to visit your site as possible to increase your sales opportunities. You can try spreading the word about your site to friends and family, but that will only get you so far. Your site must be picked up by search engines and achieve a high page ranking to attract the attention and drive the web traffic you are looking for. There is one thing that makes this happen faster than anything else: CONTENT.

Adding content regularly to your web site and adding new pages each week is the key to success. New content attracts Search Engine Spiders (the key to being picked up and listed by search engines). These Spiders love sites with many pages. Sites with a lot of pages are viewed as being stronger authorities on the specific subject matter. Now, this can not be any old content. You will need to produce informative, useful, relevant material to post on your site. Does it sound like a ton of work? Well, let me tell you a secret that will let you work smarter rather than harder.

The answer is republishing free articles that are related to your niche market.

There are many people who have written excellent articles about the subject you are advertising or promoting. Many of these folks have posted these articles on sites like www.nichecontentdirectory.com to gain exposure for their own web sites. Carefully choosing these articles, adding them to your site and attaching additional revenue generating tools to the new web pages will launch your new site to the next level.

Here is why:

* Articles generate interest in your niche market by educating the reader.

* Articles create credibility for your site; consumers appreciate useful resource information.

* Articles provide the free content that you need to add to your site to be noticed by search engines.

* Articles spark people?s interest and encourage them to save your site in their favorites and return often!

* Articles are a great introduction to other websites; use articles as a way to link to other sites and request links back to yours.

By using articles you can change the depth of your site and generate income! Here are some steps that you will want to take to produce the positive results.

1. Write your own articles and post them to free article directories. As an expert you will gain credibility if your writing has been published on the internet on sites other than your own. Remember to include an About the Author section and make sure you have a link to your site listed.

2. Use your articles as an introduction to additional articles. By establishing yourself as an expert readers will value your recommendations and look to your site for more information.

3. Add a section to your website to link to new article pages. Use a title like ?Recommended Articles?, ?Free Resources?, or ?Information You Need?.

4. Find and carefully choose articles in free directories that you feel your audience will respond to most.

5. Add new pages to your site. Each article is a new page! Make sure any link to other pages open in new browsers, so your reader keeps your site open.

6. Add Google Adsense and related affiliate program links to each new page to generate revenue for your site.

7. Email the article author to request a reciprocal link on their site. This will get your website more exposure for increased traffic!

8. Take your article publication to a new level by creating a newsletter around your niche market. Set up a subscriber list and send you useful articles to your members. Your service will be appreciated and remembered; and you will build a list of possible customers!

Before you know it, your website that you were so proud of, will grow to be a top ranked, highly visited niche market site that will bring you money, entertainment and satisfaction for a job well done.
