Sometimes we read articles and sometimes we don't read them.
Articles provides content on a particular topic.
So, we read them if we want to.

Does it help that much in generating traffic?

      It all depends of the purpose of writing your articles. Some internet markers use article marketing, to generate traffic to their websites, by inserting their website addresses, in the author's biography box. They use paid advertising to send targeted buyer traffic to the articles and they have a link to their lead capture page laced strategically throughout the articles.

      Well written search engine optimized articles usually generate FREE organic traffic to the author's website/lead capture page.

      Writing articles, give your prospects a taste of your content, which hopefully leaves them wanting more in-depth information from you, that they will be willing to pay you for.

    Yes, article writing definitely helps but you're relied on SEO. But if you're going write articles on a blog, its a good idea to have a few social media platforms like facebook, or twitter. Where you can share your content with members there, to help build a following.

    I first started just with blogging, back in the day, when it was easy to get ranked on G. And made some really nice money. It's much harder these days, but still very lucrative.

    However, it can be a long process. Free traffic takes time. Paid traffic is faster, if you're the impatient type.

    You might want to use the combination of writing a blog and automatically turn it into a video (some editing required). I'm particularly thinking of Lumen5 which has a free option. (I'm not an affiliate). As the saying goes, 'best of all possible worlds.'

    But 'possible' is the important caveat. As others have pointed out, you need eyeballs in either instance. And don't we all. I'll leave others to offer the secret formula for that. And there are many.

    That depends what you do with them. Article syndication can get you lots of traffic. Just posting it on your site won't get you much.

    The days of writing a keyword optimized article and posting it to Ezine sites, ranking it in Google, and driving traffic are gone.

    These days a better option would be to guest post articles on related blogs in your niche with a link back to your site.

    It does require some outreach and networking with other webmasters in your niche, but over time just a few guest posting relationships can bring in thousands of free visitors to your site.

      "It" is a very vague term.
      So, what is a total waste of time? I know you cannot mean article marketing because I know it can work well when well executed. So, what is "it" please?

    It all depends on the keyword(s) that the article is ranking for. If the keywords have a healthy monthly search volume and the article is ranked highly on the first page of Google, then they should definitely generate traffic.

    Also, you can post articles on sites like reddit to drive traffic. If the article is interesting enough and gets a lot of upvotes, it can generate a ton of traffic.

    Content will always be king. Video is drastically outperforming articles but people still prefer reading than watching. Combining both is not a bad idea.

    At first I was going to say "What a stupid question."

    Then I got to think about it and realized that I for one often ignore stupid questions unless the question is not stupid at all.. its the person that asked the stupid question that I ignore.

    The key to writing articles to drum up business is to use them as dog whistles that call in your ideal buyers. Generic content won't get the job done. It needs to be something that helps your customer avatar with a problem. If you have content upgrades inside the articles it helps speed up the process.

    Hi!

    Well it depends on your strategy and effort. I mean how much time you want to invest in. If You are willing to post 2-3 new articles per week,and each provides great, educational and engaging information about a certain topic and you submit each of your articles on the biggest article directories than yiou can start seeing a decent traffic coming in to your site.

    Your article gives you the opportunity to create relevant content for your customers and if you got success in achieving the customer interest then your article will definitely drive new traffic to your business.

    First, articles alone do not generate traffic.


    Second, articles must be strategically designed and planned to generate traffic.


    There is a basic formula that I use that is essentially a three step strategic process.



    Strategic Process 1: Strategic On-page SEO.
    Focus on On-page SEO strategies, objectives and actions that correlate with:
    • ROI of your articles
    • Email subscribers
    • Sales (Conversions)
    Done right and your articles will pull traffic from the Search Engines. After all, people will not visit your articles without organic or paid traffic.



    Process 2: Strategic Article Creation.Gives you opportunities to create content that matches the On-page SEO and Searcher Intent.


    Strategic Process 3: Strategic On-page Monetization (ROI).
    Focus on opportunities to create and generate ROI:
    Relevant in-context links
    and
    Relevant in-context ads.


    That is just the basics of my little formula that I employ on my sites. My sites are diversified, so the formula does not have to be followed step-by-step owed to diversification of my sites.


    The take-away is "action" and when we take "action" we generate traffic and ultimately conversions.



    Question: Do you prefer K.F.C. cold or hot?

    Getting traffic and lots if it from article marketing is, and this is my opinion, a thing of the past.

    10 years ago it worked well but because of so much competition these days, this should not be your primary way of getting traffic.

    Paid ads is the better and faster way to get results.
