How to Drive Traffic to Your Triond Articles

Share |

Triond article traffic: it is one of the main considerations for online writers. The formula is simple: articles x traffic = dollars.

While the formula is fairly straight forward, actually getting article traffic is somewhat trickier. To net significant, ongoing article traffic, you need to build a foundation for the future.

Isn't writing articles enough? Do I have to actually drive traffic to my Triond articles?

Your Triond articles will earn for you because Triond places them across different sites; however, if you want to earn more, you can also do your part to send traffic to your Triond articles.

In a recent article, I discussed creating quick and easy articles for Triond. If you've followed the pointers, you've probably started writing your first articles. If so, you are doing well.

The next thing you'll want to look at is how to drive traffic to your Triond articles. Traffic is the glue that makes your articles "sticky," giving them traction online. You want your articles to become "sticky," which basically means they are bookmarked, linked to, and they spread out across the Internet. In other words, they have staying power.

Evergreen Articles

One method of driving traffic to your Triond articles is to create articles that stay popular. These are called evergreen articles and they earn for you for years to come. Ask yourself: what's important to the masses? What topics will continue to attract readers? Health, science and tech articles are usually always a good bet. Why? Health is something that concerns most people; science fires many imaginations; tech always has a following. These are the types of articles that readers tend to bookmark and share with others.

Linking

I can't stress enough the value of linking. Use each article to link to your other related Triond articles. This is another method for directing traffic to your Triond articles. Links work away in the background sending article traffic over and over again. If you have a blog, try to remember to link to your Triond articles when creating your blog posts. Even if your blog post isn't related to your Triond article, you could try including a regular footer section entitled: Hot Off the Grill or My Latest Articles so that readers come to expect new material.

Facebook

Consider adding your Triond articles to Facebook. Facebook allows you to share your articles with friends, family, and Facebook contacts, sending a flood of traffic to your Triond articles.

Article Directories

• Submit free articles to article directories, conveniently linking to your Triond articles. Many savvy writers create articles at free article directories to send a flood of visitors to their websites or blogs. Why not use this same proven method to send traffic to your Triond articles or to your Triond profile, which features your Triond articles?

• Article directories, such as Ezinearticles or Articlesbase, allow for your work to be distributed/syndicated across the Internet. Site owners seeking free content turn to article directories to fill this need. If someone uses your article, they are also sending traffic to your Triond articles via readers who browse through the content.

• Additionally, article directory readers often sign up for article alerts or they subscribe to Feeds. This means that they receive the latest published articles in their Inboxes or in their Feed readers. Your article directory articles may be sending you readers for your Triond articles via subscriptions and alerts. What a great way to have links to your Triond articles being sent to someone's e-mail address!

Triond Article Widget

Use the Triond article widget near the top of your blog to direct traffic to your Triond articles. Also include one of your Triond article Feeds in your blog's sidebar. This directs blog readers to your Triond articles.

Subscribing to Article Directory Feeds

• A good strategy is to subscribe to the feed for article writing over at Ezinearticles. Writers share a wealth of tips and tricks. Subscribing to the feed means you receive these tips via e-mail. I'm a great believer in having information come to me, over having to take time out of a busy day to hunt for it.

• Subscribe to the feed for copywriting. Applying copywriting methods to your articles can make for more compelling articles.

Alerts

• Ezinearticles allows you to sign up for alerts for different categories. This is an invaluable information source. Imagine receiving free pointers on subjects you plan to write about. Whatever your interest, whether business or travel, news or relationships, finance or automotive, self-improvement or sports, you can subscribe to an applicable alert to stay apprised of up-to-date information and craft your articles accordingly.

• You can also sign up for Google alerts. If you enjoy writing news-type articles, these alerts can keep you abreast of breaking news and you can create your news articles with relevant and timely information at your fingertips.

There are no real secrets for driving traffic to your Triond articles, just common sense methods that take conscientious and consistent effort. If you are willing to invest the time, you will see increased reader views and drive traffic to your Triond articles.
