Traffic Essentials Training: ARTICLE MARKETING TRAFFIC SNIPING SYSTEM Cummings Co Inc.
01. Why Use Articles to Get Traffic? Look at EACH new article you release, as another traffic stream. Publish enough little traffic streams and it turns into a raging river of traffic (over time) If your articles avg. a 15%-18% Click Through Rate (CTR), that means out of 100 people who read the article, they click the link in your resource box. 33 Views Per Day with 15% CTR = 5 extra Visitors Per Day to Your Website Picture the impact a consistent system that adds two new articles every day (as a matter of routine) would have on your business. On the next page you will find a Chart showing the compounding traffic power of Articles submitted with good titles and Resource Boxes that cause clickthroughs...
It would look like this if each article brings in 5 uniques per day... Source: B. Hall, Black Book

03. How to Write a Killer Resource Box that gets a high click-through rate! A Resource Box is the Call To Action (or MDA - Most Desired Action) at the end of your article that gets you visitors. If the article is great but Resource Box sucks = No Traffic. If article is mediocre but Resource Box is strong = Traffic The gist of writing a kick-ass Resource Box is that it should make people want to continue reading more so they click through and visit your website, they turn into an email (list bldg), then we put them through our Conversion Funnel. CTR stands for Click Through Rate, basically what that means is how big of a percentage (%) of the people that view your article that clicks through to your link in the article. Your link will be in your resource box. What s a good CTR? Anything above 15% would be considered a good CTR. (10% is common.) My absolute minimum goal is CTR of 15% but I usually go for CTR around 30% - 50%, which is possible with a great Resource Box.
Resource Box Checklist (How to create a wicked Resource Box) Strategy 1 - The Disguised Bullet Point Trick Make resource box look like a CONTINUATION of the article. Weave the resource box into the article and making it sound like a part of the article. So for example, say in your article body you have a bullet list. Like this: *Bullet 1 *Bullet 2 *Bullet 3 *Bullet 4 -------------- resource box starts here *Bullet 5 Here s a Real-World Example: An effective tennis service should be more focused on placement than power. Look at Andre Agassi. A good service should use variations of spin. If you keep serving the same pace and spin, your serve is easier to get used to. Give them a new look. An effective Kick Serve is probably the best second serve you can possess! It s so important in fact that I made a special Kick Serve Special Report that you can download (at no cost) here: --> http://tennisbully.com/kick-serve
Strategy 2 - The Withholding Information Trick The gist of this is that in this article Ill teach you one of my methods to solve problem x, however I have 3 more methods that work even better that you can read about on my website here. You withhold information and people want what they cannot get. Here s a Real-World Example: This article just taught you one of my methods for naturally curing male baldness. However I have 3 more methods that have worked even better. I reveal them all on my website here: ---> http://www.hairagainreview.com Strategy 3 - The Crazy Personal Story Resource Box Some of the articles you write will be First person, in other words how I was able to overcome stuttering or weight loss.

05. My EZA BLACK OPS Tactic: How to PUSH Your Article into the Most Viewed! Warning! This is considered black hat and I am sure is in violation of the EZA terms of service.

Do this with a throw away EZA account or risk termination of your primary account. Most Viewed. You know how at the bottom each article on EzineArticles there's a list of the most viewed articles in the category. Getting on this list will give you a huge Search Engine and traffic boost.

User of StumbleUpon don t know they re being marketed too, which creates an interesting result. https://www.stumbleupon.com/ads/ How it Works: I bet most of you didn t know StumbleUpon had an advertising program.

This is where the advertising comes in. Often times this related page is actually a paid advertisement yet are not distinguished from the regular pages.
