Writing articles to promote your website or business
How do I know that writing and submitting articles works? I have
placed a tracking link in one of my articles, and seen the hits
from that link increasing as the article circulates. I'm sure
that the traffic will die off sometime, that's why I write and
submit at least one new article every week. If you want to take
advantage of traffic from articles you write and submit, then
the following few tips may help to make it easier and more
effective for you.
5 Tips for writing & submitting articles...
1. Just go for it, don't be overly fussy, write an article, read
it and check for spelling mistakes and then submit it. People
get too wrapped up in spelling, grammar etc. and never get round
to doing it.
2. Make sure you have a good title, which contains keywords for
your article, but also write it to catch attention. Which would

3. submit to as many authors and article sites as you can, so
your article gets picked up and used by as many ezine writers,
and web builders as possible. You can find a list of article
sites to submit to at

4. Don't turn your article into an ad if you are promoting a
product, make it informational and add the link to your site in
the authors bio (or signature) which all article directories
allow. It is also a requirement that anyone who uses articles
from directories keeps your bio intact.
5. Stuck for ideas? My own personal ideas for articles come from
what goes on around me. I spot something which sets me thinking,
and I make some notes as the ideas flow. Later I fill out the
notes with details, and follow on with any new ideas I get.
Others write a review of a product, or servive
I hope these few tips will get you started or help you to
improve your use of articles as a promotional tool. I can assure
you it works, I tracked my article link after all.
