You’ve created a blog, and you’ve posted to it. But where’s your traffic? Getting traffic to your blog is easy: you must promote your blog, and you must promote consistently. One of the easiest and best blog promotional methods is article marketing.

If article marketing is new to you, it’s simply a promotional method where you write articles (with links to your blog) and put them in article directories. This is beneficial in two ways. First, when people read your articles and click your links, they go to go your blog. Second, you get backlinks from each article you posted. These backlinks are important for search engine optimization (SEO).

Let’s look at three tips which will help you with your article marketing.

1. Be persistent. It is possible to write one great article and start getting traffic. But the more articles you have on the web, the more blog traffic you will get. Try setting a schedule of regularly writing articles and posting them to article directories.

Be patient as you wait for results. There’s only one marketing method which gives you immediate traffic, and that’s paid advertising. However, this is expensive, and once you stop advertising, the traffic stops. With article marketing, the traffic doesn’t stop – your articles stay online, and keep sending you traffic.

2. Keyword tools are helpful in finding high traffic keywords for your articles. Keywords are the words people use in the search engines. Using these keywords in your articles will help people find your articles in the search engine results.

3. Results from article marketing will grow over time. You might get traffic quickly with some articles, and with others it will be much slower. But don’t get discouraged with slow results, you’re in this for the long run. Your blog traffic will grow as time goes on, as the number of articles you post grows.

Think of your article marketing traffic as a snowball, rolling downhill, and getting bigger as it rolls. As you write and post more articles to the directories, your presence will grow — your snowball will get bigger and bigger.

There you have it. Three great tips to bring visitors to your blog through article marketing. Make sure you keep all three in mind as you are blogging, and watch your blog traffic grow.
