Article Marketing

An excellent way of driving all kinds of traffic, including traffic you wouldn't expect, to your site is to write useful articles and post them to article directories, encouraging people to download and publish your article on their website for free.

Article directories are huge repositories online with thousands of articles on every conceivable niche market and large market, usually they'll accept articles from almost anyone who wants to donate one. Register, set up the byline you want to use and your URL, and your article goes up, free to the world to download.

Why you should give away articles for free?

Because with every article download your URL and your name and often a short bio as well, are required to be set up along with the article in something called a "resource box." This means that if a hundred webmasters download your article, you have just gotten a hundred free links back to your website, many of them from sources you'd never have thought to ask prior to this.

It can also means that your name has just received the status of "recognized expert" to every person who thereafter reads your article on the other website. You give away free content, but you get real recognition and status in return.
