Why write an article?
There are several reason to write articles. Some include:
- To reach more people
Write an article for your website, then submit it to as many Ezine publishers that you can. You can find a list of publishers in the article "6 Best Places to Submit Your Articles". I started with Ezine Articles because they start you off with 10 free submissions, auto-format the articles and require authors to spell check their work. - Free Advertising
When your articles get picked up and published by webmasters, your website gains exposure through the links in the article. That will help your site in the search engine rankings. If you write interesting articles, people will actually click your links generating some free traffic. - Higher Search Engine Rankings
Okay, that was mentioned already. You'll want to be sure to write your topics around top keywords and optimize the documents with meta tags, proper formatting and spelling. - Increase link popularity
Reciprocal links are not quality links, you want natural links that are placed when a webmaster thinks a link to your site will add value to their site. Don't forget to put your link in your article resource box. - Establish your reputation
Writing quality, relevant and optimized articles will encourage readers to visit your website. Gaining credibility will naturally result in more customers.
When
you're writing for content, post your article on your website
and insert some content ads. Open the page and refresh it, you
may have to wait an hour or more to see what types of ads are
appearing. If they are not what you expected, you can adjust the
wording to better optimize the page and pull in ads that have higher
click value and relevancy. As a content publisher, I frequently
review the articles on my websites and remove the ones that
generate irrelevant advertisements. The worst articles attract
those public service ads and while I am all for charity, I cannot
afford to keep the sites running if the ads don't generating
revenue. The articles contained in this site should help you gain a
better understanding of what needs to be done accomplish your goal
of content optimization. My hope is that you find it useful and
eventually, profitable.
