The Internet has become a virtual marketplace for people looking for an easy, convenient, and quick shopping experience.

No wonder, we find various websites offering lots of interesting deals to attract and retain their online customers.

So, how do you increase visitors to your website when thousand other websites are also in the trail?

What are the most dependable ways to boost traffic to your website?

This article explains how to boost your web presence without spending even a single penny using article marketing and social bookmarking.

How to Boost Traffic Through Article Marketing

If you are running short of creative ideas to generate business leads, but can write good content, you must consider article marketing to attract visitors to products or services available on your website.

In case you don't have much passion for writing articles, you can even outsource this job to an experienced writer from your industry.

An experienced writer can research and write the type of articles that can help you reach your business objective fast.

Remember, article marketing can be used as a strong promotional tool to boost your web presence and gain constant and long-term results.

You should undertake the job of writing articles yourself only if you are well aware of industry standards and writing tactics.

Otherwise, you can think of hiring a good writing professional to write search engine optimized articles, which can help you boost traffic to your website.

After writing the articles, you can choose to manually submit them to various article directories. There are many websites that offer you unlimited FREE article submissions provided you adhere to their writing standards and qualify as an expert author. The best one is Ezinearticles.com

Many people prefer to submit their articles using an article submission software available in the market.

A good article submission software allows you to submit your articles to hundreds of article directories simultaneously by following few simple steps.

However, you can use this software service by paying for it, either paying for it at the end of every month or quarter. There exist many article submission services, which offer you lifetime memberships by paying a one-time fee.

Though you may find it a cheaper option to use article submission services or software as compared to hiring a professional to do that, but it has certain disadvantages too.

For example, you may not even know which sites your articles have been submitted to. You never know if they have been submitted to a reputable website or not.

In case these articles have been submitted to some untrustworthy website, you may get thousands of back links all at once, but they can be completely useless.

This may even result in search engines black listing your site as SPAM and sending a red flag.

All this can be avoided if you submit articles to reputable sites having high search engine rankings.

You can start by preparing a list of such websites and hiring a part time worker, who can submit articles to useful article directories on your behalf and help you boost traffic to your website.

Using Social Bookmarking Feature to Boost Traffic

While posting your articles to various websites, you should also post them to various social networking sites too.

Being a relatively new method of increasing web traffic, social bookmarking can be extremely effective if done correctly.

There are many websites that offer "social bookmarks". Suppose you have a visitor to your site, who likes the content posted on it.

Now, the same visitor logs into to a social bookmaking sites such as Digg.com and tags the content on your website with keywords.

This will allow people to find your website if they use those keyword tags.

To facilitate this process, you can place bookmark scripts on your website which you can easily obtain from such social bookmarking sites.

Initially, you can submit your website to many social bookmarking sites yourself through Onlywire.com. Onlywire.com allows you to achieve website traffic promotion by submitting it to many other bookmarking websites.

Article marketing and social bookmarking are some of the very effective and useful ways to promote your business online. However, you need to keep 'audience profile' in mind while submitting your articles to different websites in order to get traffic to your website.
