One of the best ways to get traffic to your website is using short articles about your topic area. Here are five reasons you should write articles to get traffic to your website:

1. You get traffic when you feature your website in the author biography/resource box at the end of the article. Use the More Principle to entice readers to visit your site. Place an intriguing question at the end of the article and answer the question on your site (and give them more).

For example, at the end of this article, I use the question, Want to know more about writing articles to get traffic to your website? Most likely any reader who reads to the end of the article will want to know more and will click through the link.

2. Your articles are popular with the search engines when you use keyword phrases commonly searched for on the Internet. You should use the phrase in the title, the first paragraph, at the end of the article, and one or two other places where it seems natural. The search engines will use this keyword phrase to determine what your article and your site are about.

You can research commonly searched-for phrases using the Overture keyword research tool at inventory.overture.com. Enter a broad topic phrase, and look for specific niche keyword phrases that fit your topic and would provide an interesting article.

3. You raise your credibility as an expert with articles. Your article showcases your knowledgeand shows readers how much you know about a topic without you having to brag about your accomplishments.

4. Your articles can be quickly written since they are typically short and straightforward. Articles written for traffic should be only 300-600 words, or about one page on your computer. Check your word count under the Tools > Word Count menu option.

Tip lists and bulleted articles are common because Internet readers typically skim rather than read. When writing your articles, break them into short paragraphs with easy-to-read bullets and sections.

5. Websites and newsletters all over the Internet will tell the world about you. Website owners are constantly looking for new content to share with their audience. When you write an informative article that fits their target market, your knowledge will be shared with a new set of potential fans.

With a few articles targeting the major article sites like , you can get a horde of new visitors and traffic to your website.
