Not so long ago I had read an article about a woman who dramatically increased her
page ranking from article submissions on her new website. That that was a fact I
already knew, just like many other Internet Marketers. However, that article was the
needed inspiration I needed for me to make some changes with my daily online
business habits.
Since I started studying the changes in my online traffic, the effects on adding
content to your website and the change in search engine rankings, I've learned the
importance of writing what you know and sharing it with others out there on the
Internet.
I never took submitting and writing articles on a consistent basis too seriously when
I first started my home based business. Part of the reason was because I was not
confident enough to share what I knew with others. Sure I posted a few articles, but
I never posted those articles to as many directories and ezines that would accept my
article.
Now before you go about thinking it might NOT be necessary to write an article
periodically, take a look at some of the facts I have taken more seriously and
learned as a result of posting articles online.
10 Benefits Of Submitting Articles Online:
1. Posting an article online has more of a dramatic affect than one might think for
your home based business. Posting articles online builds the needed momentum of
website traffic in the form of increased popularity and other sites linking
to your site. All of those sites linking to you are one way links!
2. As you begin to submit more articles to more directories, your list of places for
submitting articles will keep expanding.
3. Submitting to websites regularly will add more popularity to your website. This is
the easiest way to improved your link popularity as well as your increased
website traffic.
4. Most directories usually will let you include a resource box with your name and
your website link with your article. Your website address will be found every time
someone reads your article, creating more one way links to your site.
5. Most article directory websites store submitted articles in their archives. Since the
search engine spiders love content, these sites are crawled often. This means YOU
will benefit from the traffic and hyperlinks from each of your archived articles on
their website.
6. The more articles you consistently write and distribute, the more you will become
known as an expert for your home based business. The more you provide
informative articles, your business will be given extra credibility which will
help you to compete against your competition.
7. The more exposure your articles get for you, the more you will see your content
showing up all over the Internet. Increasing the level of awareness and popularity
builds credibility. Increased credibility may lead to requests to write other articles
and improved sales of your product or service.
8. The more articles that you submit to major article directories, the more likely
your content will be used for wider publication. The main reason why this occurs is
because many newsletter and ezine publishers like to use article directories to
search for good quality content for their articles.
9. Adding content that is useful for both the readers and to the search engines will
gain in your website popularity. By posting your articles in popular directories, you
are more likely to be chosen for a featured article in a newsletter and have several
webmasters republish your article on their website.
10. If you have a blog or RSS syndication, you should submit your articles written in
your blog to article directories. The most overlooked source of traffic for a blog is
through article submission. You can turn your longer posts into articles and submit
them to ezines or directories.
In Summary, make sure each article is written to inform and appeal to the reader, so
that they are getting useful information from you. Once you start writing articles, be
more systematic about submitting new ones on a regular basis so they built
momentum.
You will find the articles already posted have been hard at work for me because they
are free advertising from other people to post on their web sites. You will start
getting the traffic and attention you'd been wishing for in months to come.
Best of luck in your writing endeavors,
