Some Myths and Some Truths about Getting Website Traffic.

There’s a lot of debate about how to get website traffic in an effective manner. Some purists will say that all you need to do is write good content and the visitors and backlinks will follow.To a large degree this is correct, but your website will never perform well as an island. There needs to be some way of forcing people to notice your site without having to rely on the “kindness of strangers” recommending your site to other via word of mouth, hyperlinks and perhaps even email.

There are many people who state that article marketing is one of the best long-term ways to get traffic to your sites, but there are a lot of myths behind what a lot of people are saying about article marketing.

Most traffic comes from search engines. Consequently there is a limit to how much referral traffic you can get from your articles. It is not a lot compared to the search engines.

If it is good content that makes sales and turns visitors into buyers, what good is there in making duplicate copies that do not do as well? An “spun” article appears unique in the search engines’ eyes but conversion rates are lost in the process.

Ok so you saw a review that said people are getting sales by using Unique Article Wizard. That is nice. It seems to say good things about submitting and syndicating articles. But I ask you, if these services are getting your articles syndicated on hundreds and thousands of sites and you only made a couple of sales, what does that say about the effectiveness of your article submitted to 1192 sites?

The majority of your website traffic most likely comes from natural searches from the search engines, and you can look at your site statistics right now and you’ll see this is true almost all the time. Therefore, it makes sense to go and focus on getting more search engines traffic, not just referral traffic from article marketing.

These are the facts that many people don’t seem to want to accept but they’re true and you can verify this truth by checking your cpanel statistics to see where the majority of your traffic comes from. It stands to reason that while article marketing and syndication is good for making sales, it’s best used as a method for generating backlinks to help increase your rankings in the SERPs.

Do you know how to increase your traffic to your website without having to write dozens or hundreds of articles? I do. Use one of the backlink services like LinkVana. Their job is to build links back to your site . It is effective and saves you time. And saves you the hassle of writing a bucket full of 250-word or 300-word articles.
