Quality Content & Traffic
For kicks, I went through the top ten sites I visit regularly. Typically daily but at least several times a week.
Of these sites, not one of them has a list. None. Only half of them have RSS feeds and, of those that have them, none of them make the link hugely prominent. It's just kind of there.
I would be very surprised if any of them use article marketing. I would bet that none of them do. I don't know about PPC. I've never seen a PPC ad for any of them, but that doesn't mean they're not doing it. However, I doubt it. (I ran a few of them through Spyfu, and none of them came up as running ads.)
What the sites have in common is content.
Quality content.
They don't write one article and spin it 10 different ways.
They don't write three paragraphs of fluff with an ad at the end and call it an "article."
They don't use rewritten PLR.
They don't stuff their articles with their keywords.
They don't outsource their content to $5/article writers.
They create quality content that people want to read.
They get links because people want to link to them, because they want to share the link with their friends.
They get links because other sites recognize them as a high quality site, so they want to link to them too.
They don't have to spam blogs and social media site with their links. They earn their links.
Most, if not all, of these sites are ones I found initially through organic links. Someone linked to them or their content. They were mentioned on other sites.
It would appear that the higher the quality of content a site has, the less effort that needs to be put into promoting it.
A lot of people ask, "How do I get traffic to my site?"
However, that is the third question. The first question should be, "Why should anyone visit my site?" The second question should be, "Why should anyone want to return to my site?"
These sites have answered those two questions. They do that by providing compelling quality content of interest to people in their niche.
Once you answer the first two questions, answering the third becomes a whole lot easier.
