Yes, I'm serious. You can get free search engine traffic by utilizing a method that has withstood the test of time. It's called Article Marketing and it's one of the best website promotion methods I have ever used.

Writing articles will establish yourself in the eyes of the search engines as an "expert " in your field, create tons of high quality back links, increasing your link popularity, and force your websites up to the top of the search engines.

First, let me state that this is not for affiliate websites. You must have your own website. For some reason, the search engines rarely index and rank an affiliate website, most likely because they are "mirrored" websites, copies of the original, the only thing being different is the affiliate url.. When they do, it's usually an oversight. So for that reason, the article directories won't accept your articles if it points back to an affiliate website. They simply won't waste their time and efforts promoting a site that won't be acceptable to the search engines. However, you can create a one page website that redirects to your affiliate products and that is OK. As an example, let's say you sell vitamins as an affiliate. Create a website that has information on it about vitamins, with links to the affiliate products that you are selling. Or you can create a product review website and your products will of course be #1. Perhaps all the products on it could be yours. For example a spyware removal review site. On it you have the "Top 5" Spyware removers. Rate them honestly, people can sense a scam. All 5 of these products could be products that you are an affiliate of.

Anyway, you will need your own website. Now, how do we get free traffic to it?

There are literally hundreds of Article Directories out there. Simply sign up as an author; it's free, and then begin submitting articles to them.

These articles won't be ads for your products, but rather informational articles, meant to inform the reader on a particular subject.

One of the reasons article directories exist is for authors to submit articles, get them published, then distributed throughout the internet. In the author’s resource box, you are allowed to put a link to your website. When the search engines spider the article directory website, they will pick up your article and url and index your website into the search engines. Get enough of these back links pointing back to your site will cause your site to shoot up to the top of the search engines. That's called link popularity, and along with quality content, is critical to your success.

How powerful can article writing and article marketing be? As an extraordinary example, I once created a website, and didn't even bother to list it with the search engines. I simple wrote an article and submitted it to about 150 article directories. After one week, I did a Google search on the title of my article by putting the title in quotation marks. The results after 1 week was my article had 913 results. A few weeks later, it was around 10,000. A couple months went by and there were over 109,000 search engines results. All my articles don't necessarily perform that well, as that was my best effort so far, but every single article I have written has resulted in hundreds, if not thousands of search engine results. This is without a doubt the best site promotion technique I know of!
