How to promote an article

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi i run a lifestyle magazine and we have articles that we need to promtoe straight away before they go out of date. I am looking at ways where i can promote an article to attract visitors to the site to read the article.

For example

http://www.in2town.co.uk/news/trip-advisor/holiday-makers-have-nothing-to-worry-about-says-thomas-cook-boss

We write articles and want to find a way where we can promote the articles where we could place a paragraph or two and then put at the bottom of that read the rest of the article here.

Can anyone please suggest how we can do this to attract traffic to our site and then hence this traffic would then keep coming back to the site to read more news and articles.

I would say that 99.99% of article marketing is a waste of time. All the places to post such articles are worth nothing, Google have stated that they do not like article posting,

Unless you have a quailty site that is willing to do this for you, I would put them on your own site and hope they they get you a long tail search query or 2.

Not what you wanted hear i guess, but it the best advice i can give you.

i think you misunderstood me. what i want to do is to post a paragraph of the article for people to see it and then press a button to my site to read the rest of the article.

i understaood you,

buit the places that are going to let you do that, are not worth anything.

sure if you can get the NYT or the BBC or some high quality site to do this then good, but its unlikly.

You need to convince a quality site owner that is in their interest to do this, and i doubt of you can do that.

Try reddit.... if the articles are news and you qualify to be listed in Google news then do what is needed to get into their content suppliers list.

Might be worth putting your article on MyBlogGuest.com.

The quality of the websites on MyBlogGuest are pretty poor, but it still might be worth your time depending on how much time and money you invested into the article.
