While the word “easy” is used rather loosely these days to peddle products, there are some things that are truly just flat out easy.

..and placing online classified ads to generate website traffic is one of them.

There are actually three benefits from placing classified ads online.

1. Direct traffic from your classified ads.
2. Links back to your site from your classified ads.
3. Page 1 & 2 Search engine positions. (Yep! This too.)

Okay so maybe your scratching your head trying to figure out how you can get page 1 & 2 search engine positions from placing classified ads.

You’re basic using a different backdoor and standing on the shoulders of the classified ad sites.

So, I’ll give you the short explanation and then the simple 5 steps to making it happen.

The classified sites that I’m going to recommend you start with are also authority sites and with a properly done “article ad” you can have your classified ad appearing on page 1 & 2 of Google… quickly. I’ve seen it happen in less than 5 hours using the 5 steps below.

How do you do it?

Simple.

1. Write a short version of your and a long version (long version being 350 words or so, use your primary keyword).
2. Post both the short version and long version.
3. Grab the direct url link to the long version of your ad.
4. Ping that long version classified ad url at www.Pingler.com.
5. Social bookmark that same url using your favorite social bookmarking website or program.

That’s it… watch the results.

Speaking of results, the results will vary from ad to ad, market to market, and keyword to keyword.

However following the above 5 steps when placing online classified ads will juice them up in a major way.

A side by side comparison shows more traffic to classified ads following the 5 step process above, then those placed without it.

Of course you can do your own test and see which works better for you and decide which route to go.

All things being consider you must have a compelling ad.

So, whatever your route, I suggest you get to it.

Today we will look at how to generate website traffic via article marketing.

Before we get started, here are two quick realities about generating traffic with articles.

1. It’s EASY! Writing and submitting articles is really easy.
2. It’s HARD! For most people the hard part is  being CONSISTENT in the process of writing and submitting articles.

As with all marketing, the intangibles to winning are focus, consistency and patience.

More specifically with generating article traffic…

• Focus on using the right keywords. (They are keys to the kingdom)
• Consistently write and submit your articles. (The cumulative effect and impact will amaze you)
• Have patience and let the articles work. (Remember, success happens OVERTIME… not overnight.)

With that said, let’s get started.

With articles, I like to put them into two different categories.

1. SEO Articles (Written for top rankings in the search engines.)
2. Content Articles (Written for expert positioning to compel and sell.)

Compelling articles create a gravity towards you, your sites, your offers, etc. and make it much easier to sell your stuff.

Here’s the interesting part about writing compelling articles.

It’s not “what you say” that is most compelling… it’s “what you don’t say.”

In other words, leaving enough black holes in your content that tugs on your audiences desire to want more.

The brain has a tendency to seek completion and close loops. And you can use this to your advantage by putting out great content that is incomplete… content so great your readers love it, and yet so incomplete they run to you wanting more.

The Cliff Hanger Method

If you’re a fan of “24″ …just think of the feeling you get at the end of the episode where you just can’t wait until next week.

Daytime soaps have mastered this “cliff hanger method” as I like to call it. As for using the “cliff hanger method” to create headlines and teasers…  just look at the trailers for the evening news, certainly they have also mastered this.

Got it? …good!

Now let’s get started with your article marketing to generate article traffic.

Starting today we will do this a little differently. I will be giving you a brief introduction on the blog to the traffic generation method and then give you the specific details in a downloadable pdf so you can print them.

Let’s get started with the fast and easy stuff.

Before we do though, I’d like to share with you a quick perspective that I have on traffic generation.

First is this, I have one simple mantra when it comes to directory submissions, in fact all submissions. And that mantra is simply…

“COMMIT & SUBMIT!”

That simply means being committed to the marketing process and submitting with consistency.

Another quick note I’d like to make here if you don’t mind… I like to put traffic into two basic categories.

Those two categories are:

• Slow but Solid: (The traffic here comes in slowly at first, it builds up over time and it’s solid for the long term)
• Fast but Fleeting: (The traffic comes in fast. It pops like fireworks, but it can fade fast.)

And I also like to think of traffic as having “2 natures.”

Those 2 natures being…

• Interested: (Interested traffic are people “just looking” and are not ready to buy.)
• Committed: (Committed traffic are people already buying the types of stuff you’re selling and are more likely to buy, than not to buy.)

Perhaps later we can dive deeper into the “2 Traffic Natures” …for now, let’s look at today’s traffic generation method, which is directory submissions.

Directory submissions have been a long time staple of generating long term traffic and is part of the “Slow but Solid” category.

It’s important to have proper expectations from directory submissions. So, what can you expect? Well, you can expect the traffic to grow “gradually then suddenly.”

Directory submissions impact your site PR (Google Page Rank), your search engine position, your link popularity, it helps build site authority and of course all of these can lead to more visibility and more traffic.

All of this makes directory submissions a solid starting point in building a firm traffic foundation.

What we will cover here are the basics.

I’m sure for every person you meet that successfully uses directory submissions to generate traffic, they will have their own twist, spins, tools, ideas and so on. So, I welcome you to add to what I put here and to share your experience and ideas from your own directory submissions.

While I do have simple basic traffic generation methods that work, this isn’t about me having all the answers. So I welcome your contribution as well as your questions.

So let’s begin with Directory Submissions for Directory Traffic.

Preliminary

• Identify the URL(s) you want to submit.
• Research & identify keywords.
• Identify categories you want to submit to.
• Create a short description of your site.

NOTE: Many directories require you to submit a short summary of your site in 50 words or less. Keep it concise yet appealing and relevant to the category under which you will be submitted your site.

Directory Selection and Submission

• Choose manual, semi-automatic software or outsourced submissions.

Manual Submissions

• Identify directories relevant to your product/service, niche or industry.
• Ensure the directory is geographically suitable.
• Sign up to directory before submitting if required.
• Submit your site using the site’s submission procedure.
  
  These are different for each site, but usually involve completing a standard form with the url, description, and category of your site.

• Check your email inbox for confirmation urls.
  
  Some directory sites require you to confirm your submission by opening an activation email with a link to a special code on their site. Also note that some sites are hand-edited so your entry may not appear immediately.
