Submitting to niche article sites : Is it worth it?
The key to success for your site on the internet is
linkbuilding. Increasing the number of incoming links to your
site will aid promotion through the Search Engine rankings and,
hopefully, draw some traffic of it's own.
After directory submission, writing articles is probably the
next best free solution. Some may even say it is a better
proposition. Now, with all the article submission sites around
why would you need to consider a niche article site?
The answer is very similar to the advantages of finding niche
directories. Visitors to niche article sites are looking for the
specific content found there and are more likely to follow the
link in your article than if they found it a general article
site.
Take a look at www.EgyptBc.com, for example. There's some
interesting content there that is growing daily which attracts
search engine visitors. A great many of these people are likely
to look at the visitor submitted articles when they have
finished with the site's main content.
If you have a history or travel related site it should be fairly
easy to write an article related to the topic of this site.
Enter your url at the end and you have a good chance of
attracting some quality traffic.
Of course you don't have to stop there, a niche article will
still fit in well at a general site too, such as
www.articledepot.co.uk, my personal favoutite.
In conclusion, I would say submit your articles to the big,
general sites to gain link popularity and some small traffic.
For better quality traffic, try niche article sites that match
your site's theme.
