Generating traffic

Quality always trumps, 5 quality posts are worth more than 25 crap ones.

I think that if you are serious about building your online business, then it should not be a far fetch goal to write at least 1 quality article per day that is keyword enriched. This will boost your business like you will not believe!

Good luck!

SEO is the most important factor in my online business. Once your site starts ranking for some top keywords, you find ranking for others with little effort becomes a novelty. Takes time though. Yahoo should not be overlooked you just need to take a few things into consideration when ranking higher in yahoo!

thanks for all. I asked Yahoo because I find out that I'm no 1 in there with my 2nd main keyword (far from that in Google) after 2 weeks page launch or so

Getting relatively the best results (in this situation) is most likely a function of striking a balance between "quality" and "quantity".

As mentioned by the OP (articles and blog posts), let's say I have a "great" quality article with a link pointing to my "great" quality squeeze or sales page.

I'd publish this article on my site, then submit it to the top 50 or so article directories, under my name of course, but before I do that, I need to point links of my article's bio box to a different "great" quality article on my site (offering new or more "great" info/advice) with links pointing to my "great" quality squeeze or sales page.

I'd then do the same thing for my other "great" quality article (point bio links to the first onsite article then submit it to the top 50 or so article directories).

I'd then move on to write another pair of "great" articles and do the same thing for this pair and the next and the next and so on.

While doing this, I'd hire a person to set up a blog for me, write "great" content for the blog and do the same thing I'm doing (of course pointing links on blog posts and bio boxes of articles to the articles posted on my site, which in turn have links pointing to my squeeze or sales pages, but one bio link of submitted articles should probably point to the other blog post in the pair).

I'd then continue what I'm doing, tracking results in the process for about a month or more.

If I get great results in therms of PR, SERP, target traffic and conversions, I'd reinvest part of what I earn to hire a person to write "great" quality for my site and another one to do the same thing my blogger colleague's doing for me so I could move on to another campaign.

Otherwise, I can use the results I get to correct and improve my campaign.

I imagine my "great" content wouldn't be as effective in terms of generating traffic if I only posted a "great" article on my site and didn't do what I mentioned above, unless a lot of people give me natural backlinks, but then again: chances of people doing this would be low if just a few know about the "great" content posted on my site (a couple of those few could just "rewrite" my "great" content and publish it on their sites as theirs, and if they already have effective backlink building and SERP improvement campaigns in place, I'd most likely appear as the one who rewrote it), as opposed to a lot of them knowing at the fastest possible time that it's there.

A question I'd also ask myself is:

If I wrote "great" content then did everything above and quadrupled the people I hired to write "good" content (not "great"), or if I wrote "great" content then followed through with the steps above but increased outsourced "readable" (not "great" nor "good") content development by 600%, then what type of results would I get?

As for traffic sources: (1) Yahoo!, (2) Google, or (3) both plus other relevant sources of my target traffic? I'd go with the 3rd option.

Also, I'd compare all traffic sources which have my target traffic against the necessary time and money investments needed to produce the results I need before I start a campaign. For instance, if specific nofollow sites collectively have more (say 70% more) daily uniques of my target traffic than the collective daily search volume for my target keywords (reckon an unlikely situation here), then I'd 70% softsell market on those nofollow sites and 30% improve my search engine ranking. That way, I'd most likely get the best results I need.

This is just my opinion (from my tests and results) and may or may not work for everyone (or anyone for that matter).

Always give quality not trash if you want your visitor to stay on the page, by a product or even for them to come back.

They are more likely to give you their email if you are giving quality information as well.

You should be aiming to get traffic from both Google and Yahoo but don't for get there are other search engines as well.
