The importance of attracting highly targeted traffic to your website cannot be overemphasized. Routing web traffic to your site can be your only means of survival, especially in the very competitive ecommerce world. Getting a high search engine ranking can be very difficult. Fortunately, there is plethora of website promotion strategies you can use to drive traffic to your website.

There is a wide variety of strategies you can adapt, from paid advertising to affiliate marketing. However, most of these techniques require payment. Nevertheless, there are ways to promote your website and increase your web traffic without spending anything.

Writing articles is one of the best web site promotion strategies you can use, and they can be very effective. How, you may ask, can writing articles help improve your web traffic? Here are the top seven ways in which it can help explode your business.

1. Reach more people

When you write good articles, you must share them with other people, and attract traffic to your site in the process. You can post your articles in your website or you can submit them to other sites such as e-zines and online publishers. By submitting your articles to these sites, you give exposure not only to your ideas but also to your website. Simply include a link back to your site or include your information in the resource box. With this, you get exposure and free advertising as well.

2. Free Advertising

Submitting your articles to other websites presents an opportunity to advertise your website without paying exorbitant fees. Although you should avoid marketing language in your articles and make it informative and useful to your readers, you can always include your site’s link in the resource box. In addition, by making your article relevant and helpful to your readers, you are making a good impression for your website, which could ultimately lead to a visit and hopefully a purchase. Good quality content in an article is far better and more effective than a few lines of ad space.

3. Gain High Search Engine Ranking

Create a new web page for your article in your website. Optimize your article to make it search-engine friendly. Use top-ranked keywords and Meta tags that can give your website a high search engine ranking. As soon as you upload your new webpage to your server, search engines will spider through it and you can gain an increase in search engine ranking. Remember that search engine optimized content is a very effective strategy to gain a high ranking in search results.

4. Increases Link Popularity

Instead of looking for other sites who would want to establish reciprocal links with your site, you can simply submit an article to other sites. Just do not forget to include a link to your site in your resource box. When these websites pick up and publishes your article, you automatically get a link partner. Link popularity is one of the factors used by search engines in determining search engine rankings. Make your article especially useful and appealing, so that more websites will be encouraged to publish it.

5. Optimizes your site for improved search engine ranking

By making your site keyword rich, you can greatly improve the search engine ranking of your site. Remember that keyword density is one of the most important factors that search engines use when determining the search engine ranking of site. However, you should always provide relevant, useful and pertinent information. Avoid the temptation of overusing keywords just to gain a high ranking as this may turn off most web surfers. Relevance and quality is still the most important things to consider when writing articles and it will be doubly useful to your site if you make these articles search-engine optimized.

6. Establishes a Good Impression and Reputation

By writing excellent, original and relevant articles, you not only give your site exposure, you are also creating a good impression on your prospects. Encourage more people to visit your site and do business with you by establishing an impressive reputation through your articles. Be seen as an expert in the field and your will ultimately gain more customers eager to do business with you.

7. Enhances your credibility through references and testimonies

Certainly, your articles are going to receive feedbacks and testimonies when you publish them in e-zines and free article sites. Record these positive feedbacks and comments and use them as promotional material in your website or in any of your advertising efforts. Your credibility will be greatly enhanced by these feedbacks, as it will create a good impression on your prospects as well as your existing customers.

Original, relevant, useful and pertinent articles are important tools you should utilize to improve and explode your business.

Those of you that pay attention to the Google Page Rank are still waiting for another Google update. It’s been almost 90 days since the last Google update and word around the web is that Google should be doing another mass update in August.

Many of you built new sites in the beginning of 2007 and still have no Google page rank after all the hard work you put into building out quality back links, optimizing and adding new pages, and every other tedious detail involved with properly optimizing your site for the engines.

Well the word is that the wait is almost over. Google will be updating all its servers and handing out grades in the near future. All the speculation about what will work and won’t work for the best results in your sites placement are about to show themselves.

Once the Google page rank update starts, it will take a couple of weeks to complete so you will probably see some fluctuation in your page rank on different pages of your site for a while but things will settle down and your new page rank will be good until the next update.

Will your Google page rank go up or down on the next massive Google update, only time will tell. If you have done all the work required to rank well, then you will mostly be rewarded a pretty reasonable Google page rank and the other search engine will follow right behind the master.

It is no secret that the best way to direct traffic to your site is by having good search engine performance, but we all know that this takes time and skills to achieve.

We also know that Pay Per Click (PPC) compaigns can be very expensive especially if we have a small budget for advertising.

Would you believe me if I told you that there is a way to start getting targeted visitors today… and without spending a cent?

After doing some research on website promotion and internet marketing I have come across two FREE online advertising services that have done wonders for my online business. These are “Instant Buzz” and “Swarm”.

Instant Buzz works in the form of a tool bar. You simply download the installation file from the website and you complete a couple of steps by entering the information of the website you want to promote and voila!!! Within minutes, an ad promoting your business will be shown around the world…

But you may be wondering… what do they get out of it?
Well the truth is that by installing the Instant Buzz tool bar on your Browser you will start seeing ads (from other websites) just above your address bar (on either Internet Explorer or Firefox).

If you don’t mind having ads on your browser, I strongly recommend that you have a look at this great piece of software. If you hate having ads on your screen, I still recommend you to trial Instant Buzz for at least a week and then make a decision based upon the results you get.

The second Free Advertising service is Swarm.
Unlike Instant Buzz, Swarm does not require any installations. Let me explain to you how it works.

Once you sign up via the website you are given 150 credits. A credit is used when a person clicks on one of your ads. If for example your ad is shown 1000 times across the internet but is only clicked on 25 times, you’ll be using up only 25 credits.
In a way we can relate this system with Pay per Click campaigns.

Once you have run out of credits, you can earn more by visiting some of the sites advertised on Swarms’ home page. It is not necessary for you to do this, but if you still want your ads to be shown, you must have credits in your account.

How simple is that??? Two simple methods of driving traffic to your site within minutes and at no cost at all.
