Don't just submit your articles to directories: Create and test the feedback from sites like Hubpages, Yahoo Answers and Squidoo too. (They allow you to add keyword tags.) Guidelines have modified on both sites over the last year, but you can still drive traffic to your blogs or promotional pages, if you are careful to comply with their guidelines.
When you're writing any article - for blogs or directories - pay exclusive attention to your first paragraph. Your first paragraph or its first few lines are what typically appears as your feed summary in Web 2.0 article directories like Zimbio. Design a punchy, irresistibly curiosity-rousing intro sentence or two so that people will click on your blog link to keep reading. (You don't have time for a "slow warm up" in your intro.) (You probably already realize your headline should include your chief keyword and make people want "more" - be mysterious, but not obscure.)
Use short sentences with "action" verbs. Make use of the word "You" and talk exactly to your reader. Invest in adding articles on sites that have RSS feeds, so that you are instantly syndicating your stuff. What this does is create direct back links, because when the RSS feed for that sites refreshes, all the other sites using that RSS feed instantly update too. Contemplate of RSS as rocket fuel, compared to regular gas. It goes without saying that you should burn an RSS feed for all your blog sites, too. In fact, pending you've created that RSS feed and made sure there's a button on your blog, your blog is not finished.
And Speaking of Blogs...
Here's another effective way to explode traffic through your blog: Make sure you "ping" - and get the most out of those pings, when you do. Here's how:
1. Log into your WordPress administrator's panel, and proceed down to "Settings" on the left hand side. Select "Writing" from the drop down menu. 2. Slide down the page till you see a text-area box under "Update Sites". Copy past the following URLS into the box, if you don't already have a list of ping sites:
But Wait, There's More...
Join up with Feedbite, a service that permit you to establish public pages as surely as embed feeds on your sites (or any other site), using PHP or JavaScript consists of generated by Feedbite (go with PHP, if you have a choice.) What this does is permit you the option of having private feeds, as well as public.
Zimbio instantly pings your blog and publishes your articles to related Wikizines. You can submit either your Feedburner feed URL or your website URL.) You can add pictures to your articles - you can even create your own Wikizine, basing it on a powerful keyword.
As with Squidoo, however, be sure to visit other Wikizines and articles on Zimbio, and comment or vote. Being Web 2.0, it's an interactive community; and in this way is a little bit of more labor-intensive than traditional submit-your-article-and-forget sites - but the "love" you'll get from Web 2.0 based directories in return (compared to traditional static ones) is like article marketing on turbo thrusters! TIP: Zimbio is notably matched for press release-style formatting.
