Five Key Websites To Bring Massive Traffic To Your Site

For the last three years that I have been writing for Triond, I have already tried every free websites that would let me have viewers to my site. From what you may have known from other online writers, they recommend that one way of gaining viewership is by commenting on other articles but from my experience, many fellow writers or bloggers don’t like it and mark it as spamming. Here are some of the websites that will help you achieve massive traffic to your sites:


1. StumbleUpon.com
This site has been my partner in promoting my articles and blogs for the last three years, that’s why it’s my number recommended site. You first need to register and make some friends before you successfully get viewers. You also need to download the toolbar first to have easier access. In adding articles, you need to click the ‘Like’ button and fill-in the necessary information needed for submission.

After submitting your article, you may share it to your friends but make sure to limit the article you share. Why? It is because there are some stumblers that get irritated when you try to flood their inbox with your articles. Stumbleupon is a good site because articles are segregated to their proper categories. The popularity of your site depends on how many likes your article. But do you know that it’s also good to have people who thumb down on your article because it boosts up the number of viewers of your article.

Earning Money From Online Writing: Helium

Helium is a good opportunity for those who are good at writing articles at a given fixed title. Aside from you sharing your own idea of the topic, you are also given the opportunity to earn by joining the writing contests. You are also allowed to write articles that may be bought by magazines and other sponsors.

About Us: At Helium, we believe that everyone can contribute what they know to share with millions of readers around the globe. At Helium, we believe readers want a choice of viewpoints – not just one opinion on any subject. At Helium, we believe publishers need an easier, more efficient way to get the content they need. At Helium, great writing rises to the top. And great writing reaps great rewards. 

What is good about Helium?

It is the actual participation of most of its users in reading, commenting and rating you articles. It does not matter if your article has an error or two because it is not a group of editors who would be reading your article but a group of people who have the sentiment as you do. Your article may reach the top or bottom depending on how the readers would respond. I don't whether it is good or bad, but the way you are paid is not that clear up to now because there are no ways in determining the number of page views your articles made. The only way that you are assured that you are getting big earnings is by publishing constant number of articles per week.

Earning Money From Online Writing: Associated Content


1. AssociatedContent.com
             
   For those aspiring to earn money from online writing, AssociatedContent should be one of the websites that you should consider. Why? Now that Yahoo has already bought the company for $100 million, the website has gained a wider scope of audience considering that Yahoo is the biggest online company (with 600 million active users). But what is the downside of this writing company? Since the start of America's recession, it has already cut the privilege of Upfront payment to Non-US residents unless of course you join the Featured Contributor Program.

What is the Featured Contributors program?
"The Featured Contributor program is an application-based program which highlights AC Contributors who have considerable professional, academic or hands-on experience in a particular field and whose content reflects this level of expertise. It is offered in most content categories and subcategories found on AC. Specific criteria for entry vary by category. Details can be found on the Featured Contributor page. Benefits include paid assignments, greater access to AC personnel and prominent featuring around the site." 

Although, it may be hard to become one but once you are in that program, you will get higher payments for every articles that you publish. To become a featured contributor, you need to submit some of the articles that are posted in your "assignment" box. You are only required to submit at least one article per month to the category you chose.

What are the advantages of the new features of AssociatedContent:
  • You are more concentrated to the category that you are good at.
  • More opportunity to publish high quality articles.
  • Bigger payment for the article you publish.
Disadvantages:
  • The payable amount was increased to $100.00
  • Only professional writers have the opportunity to earn higher profits.
  • You cannot anymore publish random articles that you like to write about.
Even if that it is the case, I know some of their members who have made hundreds of dollars and even made it up to a thousand or even more. This site may just be for you!!
