Just another Reason for Not Relying On Article Directories for Traffic – the Case of Swaziland Motivational Speakers Article
I’m lucky to understand myself so very well that I know when I’m biting the hand that feeds me. So, here I go again biting this had once more. I know well as many would agree with me that I need article directories as much as they need publishers like me. I’m posting this in one article directory because I know I stand chances of benefiting one way or the other. But, today I have one more reason for not relying on Article Directories for traffic, additional to what I have stipulated earlier on in my article ‘Disadvantage of relying on Article Directories for Traffic‘, in my blog yeboyesafrica.com.
I know my market in Swaziland and its internet penetration to date. Even though I may not be up to date with recent figures, but I clearly understand the market within my perimeters, Swaziland. So I knew what keyword would come top for my interest business. I will make this example so clear that you can try it for yourself and see the results in google.com.
I chose the keywords ‘Swaziland Motivational Speakers’ and put it in the topic to attract visitors. I put this in the content as well to make sure the title is in line with the content. In a few days as usual, I went to google.com to check the outcome of my post. I typed the phrase as is ‘Swaziland Motivational Speakers’, and there topic came up number 1 on the search engine. I looked closely at the link topic and the paragraph under the link. There was a great mismatch. You can try this and prove me wrong if you disagree.
The link topic was: ‘Hire Motivational Speakers for Un-motivators’, which I don’t know the author that links to it. Guess what? The detailing paragraph was exactly the summary I had given for my article. Guess what happens when a visitor clicks that link. Visitors are redirected to the website that I don’t know and that is not in line with what the detailing paragraph says. Let’s reason together, the visitor is searching for Swaziland Motivational Speaker and get a good search result and that has the exact letters, but then cannot find this particular motivational speaker in Swaziland. It’s a wasted effort not only for me but for this website where the link redirects.
In my blog, I have written an article to dismiss all unfairness allegations against the internet. I still subscribe to that belief but do know that people can be unfair. I’m not accusing anyone, but do think it’s due to human intervention that the link redirects otherwise. I however stand to be corrected.
Am I getting unpopular by the day ‘No, I don’t think so because no publicity is bad publicity’. I have written this article and posted it in my articlesbase.com post.
