Article marketing is one of the best ways to generate website traffic to your site. When you create articles based on your niche you can then submit them to article directories to help gain website traffic from various sources. As your articles get added to these directories, other webmasters looking for unique content will want to publish your article on their websites which help drive high quality backlinks to your site therefore generating good website traffic. You don’t need to submit your article to every article directory site on the net just the top few will be sufficient. Some good sites that I would suggest include:

http://www.hubpages.com

http://www.goarticles.com

http://www.ezinearticles.com

http://www.articlecity.com

http://www.searchwarp.com

If you try and submit at least one article a day to these directories for your niche you should be seeing traffic very quickly without the need for PPC methods.
