Great (Free)
Information Keeps
Website Visitors Coming Back Again
and Again!
by Ron Knowlton
If your
website visitors
are like
me, they may visit your site. They may read your
sales letter. They may check out some of your links.
They may even sign your guestbook. But... if that's
all you have to offer, don't expect them to come
back again!
Why?
It's simple. There's no reason to return. I've seen
it all, right? Been there, done that!
'Nuff said.
But... if you want them to return, give them a
reason to come back.
One great reason to come back is great information!
I'm not talking about just posting anything you can
come up with that is free on your site. It has to be
targeted information. Information that applies to
your audience, your market. If you can provide this
and do it on a consistent basis . . .
... they'll keep coming back again and again for
more.
Your visitors will read the free articles and
they'll return on a regular basis to see what's new.
Nothing new? They may not be back for awhile.
That's why consistency is so important.
What do I recommend?
I try to add something new at least once a week.
Seems hard?
Not
really.
New
"article
libraries"
are springing up all over the internet.
Smart marketers have found a great way to promote
their products, services, and their websites--all by
offering free information for reprint.
The concept
is simple
really.
There's a huge market out there. Think
about it, there are 1000s of ezines that need new
material on a continual basis. There are newsletters
(ezines) and also websites with article libraries
that want new content for their readers. So,
if you have any writing ability at all, you can get
free publicity by occasionally contributing free
articles for reprint. These articles are then
reprinted all over the internet with links to your
website and a free ad (called a resource box) at the
bottom of each article telling about you and about
your products, services, and/or website.
And by
visiting these
article
library sites that offer free articles for reprint
and copying the free articles into your newsletter
or onto your website, you can continually
offer a fresh supply of new material to your website
visitors or to your newsletter readers.
One great source is: http://www.ezinearticles.com
/
Sure, the articles are targeted for use by ezines.
But, if you read their "terms of use
policy" closely, you'll find that the articles
can be reprinted on your website as well. And
besides, the authors of the free articles are
wanting exactly what you're willing to offer: a link
to their website and MORE TRAFFIC!
Ezinearticles.com's terms of use policy states:
"You have permission, from the authors of these
articles, to reprint them in their entirety. You
must include the resource box at the end of each
article. The resource box is the text at the end of
the article that contains the author's contact
information and copyright notice. The authors retain
the copyright to their articles."
And this
policy is
posted right on
the first (home) page of the ezinearticles.com
website.
And there
are other
great sources of
free article content for your website as well, such
as:
http://www.writebusiness.com
/
http://www.web-
source.net/ar
ticle-announce
http://www.infobot.net/l
ist.shtml
So there you have it. Find some great information
(articles) and add them to your website or use them
in your ezine! And watch the traffic increase!
