How can articles boost traffic and income?

The article on the free content site contains a link to your website. Readers, after reading your articles, may choose to click on the link and pay you an unexpected visit.

As the list of your published articles grow larger, and more and more of them are appearing on different websites, the total number of links to your site increases also. Major search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links to websites so they can determine the importance of a certain site.

The more backlinks the website has, the more importance search engines attaches to it. This will then increase your website’s placement in the search results. Higher rankings on Google.

Since many people are now taking their buying needs online, having your site on the search engines through your articles is one way of letting them know about you and your business.
