Articles. One of the easiest ways to promote your website, to generate traffic, and increase your sales.
How does this work?
Write articles relating to your website and submit them to free content submission sites (Article Directories). Easy to do, takes little time and can increase your website traffic, sales and of course, your income.
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. Having them on the free content sites is also making these articles available to other webmasters who may wish to publish that article on their site.
If they do, your article will include a link back to your site. And anyone who reads the article on that site can still click on the link to visit your site.
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.
If your site is into promoting a product or service, the links that your articles have achieved will mean more potential customers for you. Even if visitors only browse through, you never know if they might need what you are offering in the future.

Search engines do not just index the websites, they also index published articles. They also index any article that is written about your own websites topic. So once someone searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even show the articles that you have written.
No effort on your part was used to bring them to your site. Just your published articles and the search engines.
This is the reason why many webmasters are suddenly reviving their old writing styles and taking time to write more articles about their site than doing other means of promotion (marketing).
Getting their site is known is easier if they have articles increasing their links and traffic and making it accessible for visitors searching the internet. 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.
The good thing with articles is that you can write about things that people would want to know about. This can be achieved in the lightest mood but professional manner, with a little not-so-obvious sales pitch added.
If you think about it, only a few minutes of your time is spent on writing one article and submitting to a free content site. In the shortest time also, those are distributed to more sites than you can think of.
