To get traffic to your blog you need to have articles or ads that rank high in the search engines.

The key to ranking high in the search engines is having a lot of backlinks. The more back links you have the higher you will rank.

There are three main ways to achieve this. The first is article writing and manually submitting your articles to directories, the second way is through pay per click ads, and the third way to get traffic to your blog is by buying the links.

If you decide to use pay per click ads then you need to have a firm grasp of highly optimized targeted keywords. If your keywords are not highly optimized or not targeted enough then you could be out of a large amount of money.

If buying links sounds like a good idea just keep in mind that not all links are created equal. When you buy links they have to come from high PR sites or they won’t help you very much. Buying high PR links can cost a lot of money.

You also want to make sure that the sites that are linking to you are in the same category as your blog. When you have links that are from the same kind of site as yours the search engines hold them in higher importance.

If you are writing article’s the more articles you submit the greater chance you have of people reading it and going to your blog. Article marketing has two benefits. The first is that it gives people a sample of what you have to offer them. If they like what you wrote chances are good they will want to see what else you have to say so they will click over to your blog. The other benefit is that it gives you quality backlinks.

Article marketing is also the cheapest way to get traffic. You can write articles and manually submit them for free. Usually when you submit an article you can use an authors resource box. This is where you can put your links to your blog. Most directories allow two links per article.

You have two options when it comes to article marketing. You can write a new article for every article directory you want to submit to and then manually submit your article or you can use an article submission site. Manually writing and submitting your articles takes a lot of time but it is free to do.

If you choose to use an article submission site they will submit the articles for you saving you a ton of time. When you use an article submission site to get traffic to your blog you need to make sure that they are sending out unique articles to all of the directories. Not all of them do this and you will end up with duplicate content all over the web and the search engines frown upon such things. Search engines frowning equals very little traffic for you.
