 Just curious what kind of traffic you see coming to your sites from article authoring and publishing.  Clearly it's something a lot of people use, but I am interested in the resulting traffic.  Anyone care to share?

 Hi HappyGal,
 
 If you are talking traffic numbers, then it varies from author to author as well as from niche to niche. I've been happy with my numbers, which are private of course.
 
 If you are talking quality traffic then yes, you can get quality traffic complete with conversions if you can write well and sprinkle a little SEO in the right places. I've had quite a bit of success in this area as well.
 
 If you are wondering which directories to use, you are already using one of the very best - EzineArticles.
 
 I would suggest that you also give GoArticles and Squidoo a shot.
 
 Is that what you were wondering?

 Sure...thanks.
 
 Do you see a percentage of your vists coming direct from articles?  (And yes, of course your actual traffic numbers are personal and private, I agree).

 Articles do bring in traffic.  The more articles I write, the more traffic I get.

 It works really well for me.  Squidoo is currently one of my top five sources of traffic.  I also get a decent amount from other articles I've written here and there.

 If the content of your article is good and relevent, not only does it bring in traffic, but targeted traffic.  Writing the articles is my favorite part!

I agree - a lot of my traffic comes from both Squidoo and articles and I KNOW it is targeted traffic if it comes from there as it is content that I put out there... not just some random search someone was doing...
 
 It's like presold traffic as they have already BEEN to something else that you wrote and then came through that doorway to your website...where you can now present them with solutions...
 
 Make sense??

 Yes, that's what I was saying.
 
 Additionally, if you link back to a site you own, you get a backlink for your PR.

 Articles take a lot of time and effort but they do bring traffic, I wrote them for watches when i have time.

Targeted traffic turns into paying customers. Articles can be done in a short amount of time. Concentrate on you keywords and get your readers emotionally involved and connected.

 My wife has had some amazing results with article marketing, and I have had some great results as well. My wife does affiliate marketing in the Tattoo niche. She created an article that has received 22998 since June 2009, and 10,254 views just in August.
 
 I thought that I would put this out there because I thought it was just amazing. I have never had results like that...So article marketing can definitely bring some visitors, but the conversions is really what counts.
  
 I want to add that I don't recommend getting into the tattoo niche. You can make some money, but you really have to spend alot of time flooding the net with content....but thats just my opinion.
 
 Scott
