Article Writing; a Great Way to Promote your Website

By Larry Libassi

Article writing is a fast, simple way to promote your website and increase its search engine rankings. All you have to do is write a few articles, send them to some of the hundreds of article distibution websites, and wait for website owners to use them on their sites.

There are three related benefits that accrue to article writers. First, as people continue to see their name on articles, they begin to think of them as authorities. Many very successful business people have built their reputations by writing frequent articles.

Another benefit of article writing is that it will result in increased traffic to the author's website when people reading his or her articles click on the text link in the author's box.

The most important reason to write and distribute articles, however, is that each time a webmaster adds one of your articles to their site you pick up another link. And, the more links there are to your site, the higher your search engine ranking in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. And, if webmasters with sites on the same subject as yours carry your articles, the links you will get from their sites can be especially valuable in improving your search engine rankings. That is why it is important to write articles related to the subject of your website, although articles on any subject can be somewhat helpful in raising the profile of your site.

Be aware that it is the author's box that will describe you and provide the link to your site, so write it as carefully as you write the article itself. The author's box at the end of this article provides a good example and has been very effective for me.

If you adhere to the following guidelines, lots of webmasters will add your articles to their sites, and you'll be well rewarded for your efforts.

1. Be sure your articles are instructive, helpful, and of practical value.

2. Be certain your title creates interest.

3. Webmasters will not add sloppily written, error ridden articles to their websites. Not only should your proofread your article, but you should have someone else do so as well.

4. Be brief. If you can say what you need to 300 words, don't use 500.

5. Remember who your audience is and construct your article(s) accordingly.

Don't get discouraged if all of your articles aren't picked up by hundreds of sites. The more you write the more you will learn about what kinds of articles are most likely to be well received. So, stay at it and you will almost surely be rewarded for your efforts.
