In order to make money online, you must have traffic. Without traffic, there is no business. But, unfortunately for those just starting out, traffic costs money. You can pay for clicks, you can buy ads in ezines, you can pay for reviews, etc. Most of these techniques can be quite effective, but they can cost you a fortune.

However, there are a few advertising traffic building techniques that are absolutely free. They cost you nothing more than a few hours of your time. Many who are just starting out would much rather spend a few hours than spend their hard earned money. Among all the various ways of promoting an Internet business, article writing is among the most effective and affordable ways to advertise your online business. In fact, it can make you more money than you thought possible.
Fresh content is the lifeblood of the Internet and articles make up a large percentage of that content. Webmasters are always looking for new information that is related to the content on their sites. Search engines love sites that regularly renew their content and reward them with high page rank numbers. These higher page ranks result in better placement in search results.

For that reason, there is a constant and eager market for your articles. With each article you write, you should include several links to your own site, your own products, or affiliate products that you recommend. This information is included in your resource box.

All of your links should be related to the information in your article. If the article is about vacationing in Tahiti, links for dog grooming are of little use. Few people would click on them. Links that are related to discount hotels, and airfare would get much better results.

If you are just starting an Internet business, generate traffic using articles. To maximize traffic, you should write articles on a regular basis. One or more articles per day is best. If you intend to write just one a week, you will not get good results from your article marketing efforts. You need to write at least one article each day to be successful. But if you are ambitious and can write three or more each day, you can make more money than you thought possible.
