Generate free traffic! Will Article Marketing do the job?

To generate free traffic is all we want, not only Marketeers, but all who have a blog, a website or more general ,something to say. Besides SEO Article Marketing is considered one of the ways to spread furtherest, aside from real viral techniques. In the following few lines we will look at some parts. This should help you to decide to write or to find some ghostwriteres to do the job for you.
The first thing I would suggest is that you start writing an article right now. Save it and we will - actually you will - analyse it and find the things you should have avoided!
Did you write it?
The first thing a potential reader sees is your head line or your title. This means it has to be in a way that the curiosity of the reader is alerted!
Before I forget it: Why do you write? You want to earn money with it!? It takes almost as much time to write a good article as it does to write a bad one. With bad I mean an article no one reads.
You also know that almost everybody uses a search engine to find what s/he is looking for.  The word for that is Keyword. and Google values a keyword that is contained in your title much better. So you need to find a catchy phrase for your readers and the keyword for your SEO!
Last week we created a web site with weebly. I did so and have a page up and running http://fortune-telling.weebly.com It is a simple site and serves as a shop to sell fortune telling training courses of Britta Kienle. As you can imagine I told my friends who had a look, but aside from that, not much traffic! So I thought article writing could do some good.
So I did some keyword research and found the following results tarot cards (450 k  hits), psychic (380 k) Lenormand (201 k) Kartenlegen (300 k) und Britta 673 k)
"Wow Bitta is great", I thought, but then found out that the most hits were for the water filter!
Because the system of Britta bases on the system of Lenormand, I choose this and started to write.
Done!
What now?
Now we have to find a place to publish it - an article directory. There are several and you can choose one of the most famous ones or one that might be focusing on your niche!
Then read the what they write about the articles they accept.
Remember they are in business for many years, and they want to help you! They are experienced - you are not! Rather read their help and requirements 3 times then not at all!
Remember I was asking if article writing will do the job and generate free traffic! If it will do the job, you need to do a proper planing!

• Plan your articles! 
• Choose the keywords wisely, 
• Write a little series for each page or for each keyword!

Tomorrow in part two we will look at the structure of an article and what to submit
