How to Use Articles to Generate Free Traffic to Your Website

Writing articles that are available for reprint is an excellent way to generate traffic to your website. Webmasters,ezine publishers, and bloggers are always looking for quality content. This is an excellent way to get free exposure for your website. Here are some tips to help you write your article.

Make sure your article is between 200 and 1000 words. Most of the people that surf the Internet on a regular basis have extremely short attention spans and will usually start to go to sleep if your article is longer than 1000 words.

Make sure your article does not sound like a sales page. Webmasters and ezine publishers can tell the difference between an article and a sales letter dressed up to look like an article. Most publishers will not use such material in their publication. Save the selling for your resource box.

Format your article to between 60 and 65 characters per line. This makes things easier for the ezine publisher that is going to publish your article. If you have an html version of your article, mention that in the email that you send to the publisher.

Make sure that you proofread your article before it is submitted. Most publishers operate on a very tight schedule and simply do not have the time to rewrite an article that is full of grammatical mistakes. They will simply discard your article without a second thought. Don't rely on spell check to catch everything either. It's best to save the article and look at it the next day with a fresh set of eyes. It may also be helpful to print the article out. Sometimes it is easier to catch mistakes when we see the article on paper rather than on the computer.

Finally make sure that your article grabs the reader's attention. When dealing with an online audience, you have to grab the reader's attention right away. Action in the first sentence is a must. Don't take too long to get to the point, either. It only takes a second for your reader to click away from a website.

Article writing is one good way to get traffic to your website.

It's a good way to get yourself established as an "expert" or to break into your niche market. There are millions of things to write about, so you should not have a problem finding article ideas.
