Obviously, having traffic is very important for your website if you want to successfully earn money online. You can drive traffic to your website using a wide range of tools.
Among all the different ways of driving traffic to your website, writing and submitting articles remains one of the most powerful methods, which in turn can boost sales and increase your presence across the Internet.

So how is writing and submitting articles effective in driving traffic to your website?

1. Build Trust
   Articles can help you become an expert in your niche.
   By writing high quality and informative articles in your niche, you become an expert. You also build trust and confidence in your prospects. As an expert, customers will feel more confident to buy from you and this will increase your sales, grow your list and overall profits.
2. Automation and Exposure
   Articles are an affordable and in most cases, free way of driving traffic to your website. You can write your own articles or you can hire a ghostwriter to write some articles for you, and this is not very expensive. You can then submit your articles to many directories. There are some tools that you can use to automatically submit your articles to many directories, and this increases the number of links pointing back to your website.
3. Articles Are Viral
   Articles are viral and powerful in driving traffic to your website. At the bottom of all your articles, you are given a resource box containing your website URL. Your articles will be published by many directories, websites and e-zines with your website URL. By simply writing and submitting articles, you tap into a powerful viral resource with many websites having your website’s URL on their sites.
4. Longevity
   Articles bring life long results and will continue to drive traffic to your website long after they’re published. Unlike other types of advertising that bring momentary results, articles will continue to drive traffic to your website for a long time. All your articles are archived in article directories and that means anyone can still read them and visit your website. Your articles can generate thousands of permanent one-way links to your website, which is also good for SEO.
5. Search Engines Love Them
   Articles make search engines index your website and drive traffic to your website. Writing and submitting many articles to article directories is very powerful in making your website visible on search engines. By including your keywords in your articles, when people are looking for information related to your niche and type those keywords, your articles and website show up on search engines, therefore making it easy for you to get a lot of traffic on your website from people interested in your particular topic.

Although there are many tools for driving traffic to a website, articles remain the most powerful tool that brings life long results.
For some of my recommended article directories, tips and tricks, I cover them all in my

A marketing plan that outlines key steps needed to drive traffic to your website is essential. Having a marketing plan will also help you establish your budget for advertising your website, which determines the tools that you can use in generating traffic to your website.
In most cases, more traffic equals more money!

Here are some quick tips to help you do just that:

1.      Establish your objectives and targets.
After you have built your website for your online business, you must establish your goals in terms of the money you want to earn from your online business.
This will determine the volumes of traffic you will need to make the necessary sales you want to make. Your objectives and goals will guide you in deciding the level of promotion you need to do to advertise your website and build traffic to it.
Remember, not all buyers will make a purchase the first time they see your site.
It may take seeing it at least 3-5 times until they do.

2.      Establish your advertising budget.
This is a very important step. There are many ways of driving traffic to your website; some are affordable while some are expensive. You need to decide what your budget is and therefore what tools you can use to drive traffic to your website.

3.      Invest in the necessary tools that you need in advertising your website
In order to capture leads and follow-up with your prospects, it is necessary for your website to have an automated email system or auto-responder which captures your prospects email address and automatically send those emails on a regular basis. These emails will have a link to your website and will invite your subscribers to visit your website.

4.      What are your short term and long term advertising strategies?
The quickest and easiest way to generate traffic and leads for any business is pay per click (PPC) advertising because it can bring you immediate results. PPC can also help you drive the most targeted traffic to your website.
However, you also need to have some marketing strategies that will generate traffic to your website in the long term.
Pay per click marketing is normally considered to be the short-term solution for generating targeted traffic and leads fast, but it is also considered to be one of the most expensive ways to advertise your business. Therefore, it is important for you to have other affordable ways of generating traffic to your website which will drive traffic to your site in the long term. Article marketing, blogging and forum participation are some of these less costly ways of generating traffic to your website.
I have listed some traffic generation methods here on this blog.
