Should I try Article Marketing or Social Network Marketing to bring traffic to my website?

[John B]

I've just created my website and would like to know which form of marketing I should use first.

Do both the services to bring traffic at your website. You can also do blog submission and blog post commenting, forum posting for better links.

Article Marketing as well as Social Network brings traffic to the website other than these methods there are many link building ways which you can try like press release, blog posting, commenting, forums, directory, classifieds, social bookmarking etc.

Warning!!! Due to the recent Google algorithm change (content farms took a hit) sites like article directories are going to lose their ranking within the search engine. Some article directories have all ready started to make changes in order to gain Google's trust back. With the new changes you will not be able to submit 400 word articles or create articles that do any type of promoting. Also, sites like ezinearticles.com are reviewing each article closely before publishing them to the site.

So I guess that if you are willing to create high quality content for article directories you might benefit from the new changes. The spammy articles are being removed and quality articles are being excepted. But to answer your question, save your good content for your blog or website and use social media to help you get the word out about your content.

To clarify. Article directories already were hit, they are not continuing to be hit. Article sites like EzineArticles.com and similar took a hit as their restrictions on content submission were not strong.

From my experience, to get traffic to your site, content creation should come first. Create a blog on your site, creating quality content for each post, and target your keywords when you do so. Then submit some articles to some popular sites. Your traffic should increase slowly, submit articles every other day, then every week.

Facebook and twitter dont seem to generate a lot of quality traffic right away, they are better used for customer relations.

Both Article marketing and Social Network Marketing are important in driving traffic to your website. Actually, you can utilize both at the same time. It is only a matter of how you manage your time.
