18. Distribute USEFUL articles to article directories
Write articles and submit them to article directories. Make sure they're USEFUL, interesting articles, not fluff. Other websites will pick up these articles and use them om their site. If you've added a link to your site in the "About the author" box at the bottom of the article, you can get hundreds or thousands of links to your site. You also boost your reputation. When writing the article, you need an eye-catching heading. You also need to give people a strong incentive to visit your site. Here are some ways to do that:
•Give people a link where they can get a free report.
•Tell them where they can subscribe to your newsletter.
•Tell them to visit your site for part 2 of the article.
•Tell them to visit your site for a more comprehensive version of the article.
•Give people a link where they can get a free report.
•Tell them where they can subscribe to your newsletter.
•Tell them to visit your site for part 2 of the article.
•Tell them to visit your site for a more comprehensive version of the article.
Distributing articles to directories is tedious and time-consuming. You can either do it manually or you can speed up the process by using Brad Callen’s Free article Submitter to submit your article to famous article directories. You can find it here:
There is also a paid version of this software if you would like to buy it then do buy it.
Another popular way of distributing articles is to use the Article Marketer service to do all the hard work for you. iSnare is another good one. Here are some popular article distribution sites.

One annoying thing about this technique is that some unscrupulous website owners will publish your articles without linking back to your site. Oafs like that should be tarred and feathered, I reckon. Over all, the advantages outweigh the minimal disadvantages. Some people publish an article on their site and a few days later submit it to article directories. I'm cautious. I believe the search engines will eventually get much tougher on duplicate content, so I believe a safer approach is to distribute articles which are markedly different from the ones you publish on your site.

19. Write articles directly for other sites
This is just like guest posting. Getting high quality links to your site is hugely important. Ideally, you want links from "authority" sites - sites which have a lot of links to THEM. As well as reading what search engine optimization experts say, study what they actually DO. One common tactic they use is to write expert articles and get them published on related websites. When they do this, the links they get to their site are beautifully on target - those links come from a page which is all about search engine optimization - which perfectly matches the theme of their site. To a search engine, such links look much more important than a boring link which is just one of dozens on a page in a little mini-directory tacked on to a mini-site.
20. Submit Articles to newsletters which are archived online
Submitting articles to newsletters has been popular since the early days of marketing online. In the "Internet marketing" niche, publishers tend to be swamped with offers to publish articles. Other fields aren't so ridiculously competitive. You're likely to have more success if you take the time to establish a relationship with a newsletter publisher. Also, if you're prepared to write an article exclusively for one newsletter, your offer is more likely to impress. Subscribe to each newsletter and study it carefully. Study the online archives. The article you offer needs to be genuinely useful. If you are subscribed to a online newsletter and you think that it is the perfect newsletter for your article then you should contact the owner of the newsletter and let him know that you want to write a article for him. If this newsletter is owned by a famous and successful Internet Marketer then you may have to pay a little fee but it will be worth it.
21. Include keywords in your online profiles that are related to your blog’s title
Whenever you create an online profile anywhere online - on your blogs, on a forum or on sites such as LinkedIn - always use carefully chosen key phrases. This increases the chance that people will find you, either via search engines or, for example at LinkedIn, via the site's search facility. Profile links probably aren't very valuable in Google's eyes, but they're quick and easy to set up. You can often find forums in your industry by going to Google and typing in keyword +forum. People will find you online when they are searching for the keyword or phrase you have included in your profile. They will eventually come to your blog.

22. Get one-way links and a few reciprocal links
Reciprocal links aren't as important as they used to be. They should not be your major traffic-generating strategy. They ARE still very useful, especially when you're getting a new site established in the search engines. Also, here's one of the many warnings from Google:
"Keep in mind that our algorithms can distinguish natural links from unnatural links. Natural links are links to your site that develop as part of the dynamic nature of the web when other sites find your content valuable and think it would be helpful for their visitors. Unnatural links are links to your site placed there specifically to make your site look more popular to search engines."

Google's webmaster guidelines say plainly:
"Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank."

23. Stop your blog’s content from being copied or duplicated
This tip for getting traffic to your blog is very important and effective. It is obvious that if your blog’s content is not copied and your blog post is unique and original then people will come to your blog in search for original content and they will stay on your blog. If your blog’s content is copied then Google Panda will drop your search engine rankings if it assumes that you have copied the content. You should always keep an eye for copycats.
