=============="The Web's Best-Kept Traffic Secret"=========================

Did you realize that thousands of website operators use a simple technique to generate targeted visitors to their websites without paying a dime in advertising? It's true.

In fact, the technique works so well that many of them don't want you to discover how they get those thousands of website visitors and make so many sales on virtual "auto-pilot."

Their method?

Creating tightly focused articles other people publish in their ezines (online magazines and email newsletters) and post on their websites. This method rates so powerful that some even call it "the web's best kept traffic secret."

Now, you may ask, "Why would an ezine publisher or website owner publish my articles for their subscribers?"

The answer: Content!

Over a 100,000 ezines and newsletters operate on the web (along with millions of websites) covering everything from pets and cooking to investments and real estate. Many of them need tightly focused content and they simply can't produce all of it themselves.

Look at it this way... it's the same reason newspapers use the Associated Press. Individual newspapers often can't afford staff writers to cover every story, so they accept articles from outside their organization.

You can do the exact same thing for various ezines and websites catering to your niche audience!

You can get valuable publicity -- exposure you often couldn't even pay for if you wanted to -- by providing valuable, content-rich articles in exchange for a byline and a link to your website (called a "resource box")!

The following represent only a few of the enormous benefits of writing and distributing simple articles online:

** Attain "Expert" Status **

Let's face it! In the eyes of virtually everyone who reads your articles you rank as the "expert" on the subject. Just look at people who write newspaper columns. You may disagree with their viewpoints, but they still have an elevated status in your mind compared to the "average Joe"off the street.

** Pre-sell Website Visitors **

If your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for more information on a very focused subject, you actually pre-sell them better than any sales pitch. In their minds, you've already delivered content they really want so when they click over to your site you already have a "reputation" in their minds.

** Traffic Lasts Longer **

Even though the Internet changes very quickly, webmasters are usually very slow to remove content from their sites. Once you get an article posted on another person's website, you have an excellent chance of that article staying there for weeks, months, even years.

** Increase Links To Your Site **

In a recent search I found just a dozen of my articles posted on over 813 different websites! Not only do those postings bring me traffic, but they also help my search engine positioning because of my increased "Link Popularity."

** Builds Your Affiliate Base **

Fact: Affiliates always take the path of least resistance. If you provide excellent articles they can easily post on their sites or copy and paste into their ezines, your affiliates will promote you more often and more effectively compared to those who don't give them tools. Plus, as you make more sales and publish articles, other people will see you providing excellent tools and will want to sign up as your affiliate so they can use them too!

** Build a Huge "Opt-In" Email List **

You can use articles to build up a huge list of subscribers by simply compiling several articles into a series and delivering them at preset intervals. Often called a "mini-course," this technique allows you not only to prove to your subscribers that you deliver great information, but enables you to capture their name and email address so you can send them articles and special offers in the future (with their permission).

** Requires No Special Skills **

People often think they need to be a "writer" in order to publish articles, but that's not true! FACT: If you have a passion for a subject and can talk and explain things like you would to a friend over a cup of coffee, you can write articles people will love to read. So if you operate a website selling virtually any type of product or service (whether your own or as an affiliate), publishing and promoting with articles should rank high on your list of traffic generation strategies. No other method of generating targeted traffic to your website provides the quality, quantity and steadiness of traffic in such a simple, straightforward, and cost-effective manner. ----Jim Edwards is a syndicated newspaper columnist and the co-author of an amazing new ebook, "Turn Words Into Traffic," that will teach you how to use free articles to quickly drive thousands of targeted visitors to your website or affiliate link!

There are probably ways you are already turning you words into traffic right now and you don't even know it, because sometimes it's all in the way you perceive a thing.

If you talk to friends and business associates about what you are doing and they ask for your website address or blog address so they can look at what you are doing, you just turned your words into traffic.

The act of blogging is turning your words into traffic if you use your blog to link back to your website, or an affiliate link.

If you post to forums and are able to add a link to your website as part of your signature then once again you have turned your words into traffice.

If you go the traditional route and advertise in your local paper and provide a link to your website and/or blog, there you have your words turned into traffic.

Don't put off writing articles because you think you can't write. If you have something to say that someone else wants to know about they are going to read it. If you are passionate about your topic and sincere in what you want to share then if they are interested they are going to investigate what you have to offer. If not then they are not going to convert into a sales anyway so you haven't lost a thing.

SEO Tools & Resources

SEO - for those of you who don't recognize it, this stands for Search Engine Optimization. For those of you who do recognize it it has meant a lot of work setting your Meta Tags, and filling your web pages with keyword rich content. But there is more to SEO than just that, a lot more.

Quality, relevant back links, links to high quality forums, and daisy chaining all your sites together so when the "google bot" finds you he finds all of you.

For those of you who have never heard of daisy chaining I will relate a childhood memory I have living on my Dad's cattle ranch in Oregon.

Daisys grew wild on my dads ranch and I spent many hours as a child picking these simple little flowers and using them in a multitude of ways in my imaginary play. One of the things I did is to make necklaces by chaining the flowers together. To do this I would use my fingernail to split the stem and I would thread the stem of another flower though it to connect the two flowers together. I would continue doing this, flower by flower until I had a "chain of flowers" long enough that when the two ends were linked together it made a fine necklace.

When I first heard the term "daisy chain" this childhood memory immediately came to mind. And essentially this is what you are doing when you daisy chain all of your websites, blogs, ads, and news releases together. Start with your main url and work your way through all your websites, blogs, ads etc linking each to the next. Then create a free web page which points to your last "daisy". Finally, write a news release which points to your free page, submit this release to Google. Google bot will then proceed to crawl through each of your links ending up at your main url. If you have done the rest of your work creating a site rich in content and quality back links you have a hit with Google.

Ultimately success on the internet is as simple as a childhood daisy chain. It takes time, perserverence and patience. But if you are faithful to provide quality information to your visitors Google will reward you, and they will come.

There is a high quality resource to help you build the backbone of your internet business. It is called SEO Elite.
