A few years ago as a webmaster with no money, I looked around
for the best free methods to drive traffic to my website.
Search engines were my primary source of traffic and due
to the fact that this source took time to gain momentum, visitors
were in spurts at best. Then I found a powerful technique
that I could use to boost my marketing efforts for free.
These are some benefits that I have gain from writing articles.
- Name Branding- If you type "Oceanroc' or
my name in any search engine you will likely find hundreds
if not thousands of returns. If you look at bit closer chances
are those search results are pages which contain my articles.
- Link Popularity- Last October I started a website
Oceanroc.com and by April of this year it had a PR5 rating.
Articles are the main source of the one way links pointing
to my website.
- Traffic- If I write an article that is interesting,
then the reader may click on my link in the resource box
to visit my site to find similar content. Imagine being
on websites and in newsletters with lots of readers and
think about how many traffic you could get.
- Prestige- Up to a few months ago I was a Platinum
writer over at Ezinearticles.com, the 1000 lb. gorilla of
article sites. Heck I lost my status because of an affiliate
link, so now I am down to Expert status. Seeing your writing
being published especially without you submitting it to
that source helps to reassure that you are a quality writer.
- Free Advertising- I have had my ads placed for
free in places that normally would have cost me hundreds
of dollars. My resource box is my ad spot and publishers
are required to include it if they use one of my articles.
The resource box is the medium through which you generate
traffic from you articles.
If it was not for article writing I don't think that I would
receive some of the Joint Venture offers that I get. And the
thing is that many writers share these same benefits. And
there are even more
