Your previous articles you've written for your blogs could be building traffic plus building e-mail lists for you a lot quicker if you begin to submit articles to article directories regularly.

Distributing your latest articles to the best online article repositories exposes your new articles to a large potential audience, both at the article directories and on other people's sites if they use your interesting articles as content. Popular articles can be one of the biggest sources of targeted traffic, thus helping you build opt-in lists and build targeted traffic.

And really, this article marketing strategy only makes sense. Many people begin by looking for information, and Internet articles are one of the best source of new information. Every day thousands of new articles are added online, through article directories, blogs, Web 2.0 sites and the like.

So before publishing those new articles to your blog, head over to the most important 2 or 3 directories and post your articles, being careful to confirm your Author's Resource Box leads back to your blog and squeeze page so that you're building targeted traffic that's targeted at building your opt-in list and your blog readership concurrently.

Be sure your new articles contain useful content - attempting to create an article just for it's search engine value is a common mistake, since getting people to your online articles is only half the battle. The intent is to get them engrossed in your articles' content, show yourself as an authority on the topic, and get them to take action and click through to your opt-in form or your blog. That requires both valuable information in your article AND solid, related info on your landing page.

One of the reasons that this solution builds opt-in lists so well is that the prospect wants tips on a topic, reads your article and then sees your link to additional information. Build your traffic generation from your articles by offering a bonus report, audio or video on the same question to people who sign up. This way the recruit gets what they are after, while you're building traffic and building opt-in lists.
