To improve your websites popularity, search engine ranking etc., you need to write articles.

No doubt you have come accross this time and time again; to improve your websites popularity, search engine ranking etc., you need to write articles. You will also probably think, as I did, that I can't do this.

There are ways around this. You can purchase the rights to articles that will allow you to add your own resource box to the bottom. The content may not be the freshest and the newest, and many others may be using the same content or variations on it, but it is still content with your resource box tagged on at the bottom. There are numerous article submission directories and sites on the net, such as the biggies like ImtiazTips, to small ones like my own at http://imtiaztips.t35.com/articles.html. You will be able to submit your article, even if it isn't original, to some of these without duplicating existing content on the article directory. This is what I did first.

The next possibility is to go somewhere like http://www.elance.com, and pay someone to write articles for you. This is more expensive than the first option, but has the benefit that the article is original, so it is more likely to be copied and published elsewhere. Also, make sure you have the complete rights to the material you commission, so that you may modify, relabel, or amalgamate into an ebook if you desire. Usually, you should get several decent articles for the amount of money you spend.

Finally, are you sure you can't write your own article? That you haven't found out something in your life that will be of interest to others? There is a huge list of possible article subjects at ZapContent and other sites, and you will be amazed at what you do know if you sit and think about it. After all, as I said earlier, I didn't think I was capable of writing an article, yet this is one I wrote myself, and it isn't my first. If you've made mistakes, an article describing how NOT to do something can be just as useful as one describing how to do something. If you still have problems coming up with a coherent article, jot down your notes and pay someone to ghostwrite it for you. Again, check sites like Elance for ghostwriters.

Why write and distribute articles in the first place? Free advertising and promotion. I submitted several articles to a handful (under five) of article directories. Several days later, after Google had done a recent crawl, I did a number of phrase searches on the web. If you enclose your search phrase in quotes, Google will search for that specific phrase. I searched for some of the article titles I had posted, and my own name (admittedly, this is only useful if you have a rare name that doesn't bring up pages of search results for other people of the same name). I found the articles I had published showing up on several websites. What made this even better was that a number of the places where I found the articles weren't places I had submitted them to. Other people had taken my articles and published them on their own websites. So the benefit is, lots of non-reciprocal links pointing to your website, that frequently you didn't have to do anything beyond intially publishing the article to get. Free traffic, advertising and promotion for a few minutes work.

A final note. Make sure the articles are useful, and not just promotional sales letters. They don't have to be long, 1-2,000 words is usually adequate as a maximum length for an article, but don't just publish sales blurb. Your article won't get syndicated elsewhere, and your reputation will suffer. Get known as a source of decent quality articles, and you will become known as an expert.

Watch your sales soar with Article Distribution

Article writing and its distribution is a way to put your site on top in goggle, to make people know about the product faster and easier. Article submission is considered to be one of the most effective ways to promote your website on the web.

"Content is the king of every website" I am sure you must have read this statement a number of times on the web. But the question you need to ask yourself here is whether just writing articles can help you increase the traffic of your website. Well I am afraid to say this but "No". Website promotion is not all about writing articles but also article distribution.

What exactly is Article Distribution?

If you are wondering what exactly article distribution is well you are at the right place to check this out. Article Distribution is all about submitting your articles to different article directories with a link pointing back to your website. Well now how does this help to derive more traffic to your website. The logic behind submitting your articles to article directories is simple. All you have to do is search for high Pr article directories on the web. One of the fine examples of an article submission directory is www.articledashboard.com. Similarly there are many like these on the web. You can find a list of such article directories by doing a search in Google with the keyword "Article Distribution" or "Article submission sites"

The article submission directories comprise of a Title, article body and a resource box. Once you register with them all you have to do is post in your article in the article body with an effective title. The resource box is specially meant to write about you i.e. the writer. However the most important feature of this resource box is that you can leave a link of your website here and invite the on lookers to view your website while they read the article you have written. The link you place in the resource box indirectly increases the back links of your website and thereby increase the traffic.

Just submitting your article to a couple of article sites will not be as effective than submitting your article to hundreds of article directories. For instance if you write one article and submit it to 1 article directory you can expect just one back link from the article directory. However if you write one article and submit it to 100 article directories you are actually getting 100's of back links for your website.

More back links is equal to excessive website traffic which is directly equal to high sales of your product.
