Short, practical checklist to find out why article submissions produced few visits — and what to change next.

First, verify the technical basics you might not have noticed. Confirm the article pages are actually indexed (use site:directorydomain.com "Exact article title" in Google). Inspect the live page source to see whether your outbound link is a plain anchor or hidden behind JavaScript, and whether the directory has meta robots set to noindex (that will stop search-driven visits). Also check whether the directory marks links rel="nofollow"; those still can send referral traffic but usually do not help organic rankings.

Next, control what happens after a click. Instead of linking to your homepage, use a focused landing page that matches the article intent and has a clear call-to-action. Tag your links so you can measure performance in analytics — for example, append ?utm_source=ArticleDir&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ArticleName — and watch not just visits but conversions. If you published identical text in many places, prefer posting the canonical version on your own site first and submit short excerpts to directories or ask for a canonical link back to your original to avoid duplicate-content issues.

Prioritize and test rather than mass-submit. Audit a handful of directories for editorial standards, niche relevance and actual referral traffic, then iterate. Combine this with the content-strength advice from and the backlink focus noted by : strong titles and useful content help, but technical visibility and measurement are why some submissions fail to produce visits. is right to check approvals — but also check indexation and link behavior after approval. Avoid over-optimized anchor text and low-quality distribution that can waste time; run small experiments, measure, and scale what works.

Article sites is much effective method to drive traffic to your site. But more than article sites, the content you write should be impressive and should have attractive title.

Hi,

You can get traffic from the articles. Were your articles approved in the article directories. Also place the links of your site to the important keywords of your site.

Member Avatar for Robdale

Yes, its true, that you should put your author bio with a signature link to your site. Without a link your submission is worthless.

Yes, articles can drive traffic to your site, depending in the quality of course. But I usually submit articles to gain backlinks.

Article submission is one way of building backlinks but you should also try other methods like forum postings, blog commenting, joining social networking sites to create more traffic and help improve your search engine rankings. Do not rely on submission alone.

Article submission is one of the best way for traffics and link building.

But you have to optimize your title first according to your site theme and keywords.

Use most suitable keywords in title coz search engine will place article title in his SERPs.

I am getting good amount of traffics from article directories and one main benefits is if you are submitting quality article then it can give you PR juice and traffics for long time.

Thanks

Hi All!

Let me something about Article Submissions
Create a short article on your niche topic and submit it to article directories for a backlink and some traffic. You might get more links if your article is picked up and published on other websites. As a result you receive a large number of backlinks that allow you to rise in the search engine rankings. Qualified, genuine, one-way links to your site.
