One of the best ways to promote a Website inexpensively is to write articles about your Websites topic and submit them to free content sites. These sites are easily found; just type submit costless content into your most beloved search engine. Each article you write will have a resource box that includes your name, a brief bio and a link to your own page . These articles are shared with other Website owners to publish them, and soon, your name and links to your website will propagate throughout the Web. The system works well, since search engines respect incoming links to Websites as indicators that the site is important. The more links you have to your web page , the more highly the search engines regard your web site. Many authors realize that writing articles will generate links, but most write a few articles and then give up. The reasons vary, but most authors will probably say that it simply becomes tedious to spend instant writing articles without direct compensation, only to give them away with the faint hope that Website traffic will come about as a result of the work. It is indeed difficult to maintain the discipline to continue writing articles day in and day out, but there is one thing that motivates me on a daily basis readily observable statistics that show that writing articles is making traffic for my sites.

There are several easy ways to check if publishing articles is generating incoming links and visitors . One way is to go to Google and type in hyperlink: name-of-web site.com (without quotes.) Google will return a list of sites that contain links to your own site. Usually, these links will come from your published articles, and you might browse through them to see how your articles are weaving their way through the Web. Its fascinating to see how your articles appear on Websites youve never even heard of! If you do such a search on a daily basis, you will almost certainly see the number of links increase daily. Its a great source of motivation to see that the page that had 20 incoming links yesterday now has 200 today. Each of those links represents a place that someone might click to come to your page , and 200 links is nice, but why not 2000? The more the number of links increase, the greater the incentive you have to write more articles. More articles yield more links, and more links yields more visitors .

I started writing articles about eight weeks ago and Ive been astounded at the results. One of my Websites went from zero incoming links to 1000 incoming links in just ten days! Once I viewed how quickly the links were increasing, I vowed to write at least one article per day. I begin each day by using a hyperlink popularity check software tool to count my incoming links. Such tools are freely available;; Link Popularity Check is one such tool. These tools show backlink counts for several different search engines at once. Ill also check the stats through my Web host to see where the incoming visitors to my sites is coming from. More commonly than not, the visitors came from a page with a published article! Once I see the days link and visitor count, I am usually motivated to find a topic and write the article for the day.

Writing articles is a dazzling way to contruct incoming links to your Website, and the results can increase daily if you just keep up with it. It only takes a few minutes per day to write an article, and the measure is well spent.
