If you just started a blog or website, or have had one running for a while, then probably you know how frustrating it can be to have low traffic. After all, you’ve spent a lot of time on your website, writing content, and there’s nobody’s there read your content.
SEO experts maintain that there are 3 major things that you can do to improve your website’s page rank (PR).
- Write quality content
- Submit your site to online directories
- Submit your content to article directories
Just like athletes, we are all looking for that edge that can make our blog or website stand out and be successful. Here are 3 great software titles you should have installed on your computer that can to help increase your website or blog’s traffic.
Quality Content.
Ok, so if you’re a writing wiz, you REALLY REALLY don’t need software for this. All you have to do is just open up your blog or CMS software and just typing. But for the rest of us mortals, sometimes we need a little help for the time our brain hits the writer’s block.
Instant Article Wizard is an article research tool that can literally help you create a rough draft article on any subject in minutes.
This software automates the gathering of research information based on your desired keyword subject. It can drastically reduces the time to create high quality targeted articles. It is the easiest and quickest way to create articles and can make you look like an EXPERT on any subject or niche, even if you know little or nothing about the subject.
Directory Submissions
The benefits of submitting your site to a directory is two fold. First, it let’s people know that your site exists. Online directories are similar to a phonebook. Many Internet users use online directories to find what they are looking for.
The second benefit is an increase in one way links to your blog. As you know, the more one way links that point to your site, the higher the page rank.
I’ve found a nice (and free) piece of software that can make submitting your blog and website to these online directories a real snap. It’s called Directory Submitter.
With Directory Submitter, you can quickly and easily submit your website to tons of directories very quickly. What makes this software so nice is that it is available for a free download.
Article Submissions
Submitting your articles to an article directory can do wonders to your website’s traffic – especially if you take the time and write quality content.
The key benefit of submitting your content to article directories is the free exposure your website can get. If you article is well thought out and well written, you can become an ‘expert’ and other web publishers might include your article, on their website, e-zine, or newsletter.
The beauty of this is that when you submit an article for submission, you can include a link back to your website. Now, imagine hundreds of website or blog owners publishing your article (along with your bio line) on their website. Think of how many link backs you will get. Now 10, 20, or 30 of your articles on other sites.
Don’t get me wrong, there are a ton of people that think they can get away with submitting junk and some how expect a huge surge in traffic. But if you don’t take the time to focus on quality content, nobody’s going to want to publish your work.
You can submit your articles manually to various article directories, or you can use Article Submitter. With Article Submitter you can quickly publish your articles to hundreds of websites, increasing your site’s popularity. Article Submitter is available for a free download here.
