About Articles ...

Article contribution is one of the most undervalued methods of driving traffic to your website. Thousands of ezine and newsletter owners are hungry for fresh content they can add to their own publications. In fact it is rare that these people write their own material. It is far more common for them to go to an article repository and find articles that they can purchase or reference free of charge.

You can be one of the ‘experts’ and submit articles to these libraries ...

Why would you want to provide content to these publishers? Simple really, they are allowed to use your article on the condition that you are credited and a link back to your website is included. This is valuable to you for a number of reasons:

  • You will build up a profile as a problem solver, an experienced and credible expert in your field
  • People who reach your site through articles are usually qualified. Where through advertising you can get many people following links and browsing, articles are more targeted to captivate an audience who are more likely require your services
  • Links to your website will appear on several publications and websites. This will build your link popularity and lead to a higher ranking in search engines.
  • Articles get recycled, often for years, so it’s possible one article can get you a lot of traffic over a long period of time

Do you have an e-book or sales copy that you have written for your website?

More often than not you can break these materials up into more digestible forms (300-500 words) and create stand-alone articles for submission.

You will be considered a far more credible source of information if you have a large body of work that has existed for some time.

You can submit articles to the sites below and inturn expect visitors to your site through the links your include in your articles.

Most of the these providers offer a free service to an extent but may charge a fee depending on how frequently you use their service.

There are a number of service providers that blast your article to multiple article databases and publishers. If you go to Google and search for “article submission” or “article announcement” you will find a number of sites that will carry out this service for you. Most charge a fee per article submitted or charge a subscription. This is the most time efficient method of contributing articles and in our experience the most cost effective, if you consider your time to be valuable.
