Generate Free Article Traffic

Anytime I have an article published on any website, I copy the URL to a special Microsoft word sheet.  This is for free advertising purposes.

Here are some of the steps I take in my free advertising campaign:

1-Add to google search engine.  How do you do this?  Type “add url to google in the google search engine lookup page, of course.

2-Add to Imautomator for free.  This is a free tool that has an option to distribute your url to 15 bookmarking sites for free.  You are limited to submitting ten per day.  As with all websites, they had paid membership options with enhanced features, of course.

3-Have it tied to your Facebook login to auto post.  Many article websites will allow you to list Facebook and other social bookmarking website user id and passwords you have to auto post.  Read the rules.  Ensure it is only your articles that post.  Sometimes they want to inundate your friends with url updates on everyone’s articles.

4-Add the url to at least one of my blogs via a hyperlink.  This is so I do not violate any exclusivity rights I agreed to with the publishing site.  This way, it is advertisement, not a republishing.

5-Post to some prime bookmarking sites.  I notice that a large portion of my article traffic has the source listed as Stumbleupon.  Even though I use three or four bookmarking sites equally, Stumbleupon consistently sends a disproportionately larger share of traffic to my articles.

If your articles participate in revenue sharing, we all know more views may equal more money.  And more views are the first step to increasing clicks to the ads on the page.  I have also had great luck generating revenue by posting my own personal interesting pictures on sites that have this service.  Then you drive traffic there also.
