So, I'm new to the forum, and I've seen a lot of "article" things being mentioned. What exactly are they? Like, you write an article, and then you post it? Where do you post it and how do people find it? x.
Interesting question SweetBody, Articles are important because most website contents are consist of written words. We go online to look for information and these information are usually, well, articles... There are other types of contents too, such as videos, music, images etc etc.
Hi sweetbody. Articles help to drive traffic to your website or affiliate product. Ezine articles - http://www.Ezinearticles.com is a popular place where you can submit articles. The search engines love unique, articles
One of the best places to post articles is ezinearticles.com, but there are lots more good ones as well, like usfreeads.com.
Ezinearticles is the best article directory IMO however Usfreeads is not an article directory, but a classified site...both are great in their own unique ways..
There are many reasons why people write articles. Some write it for SEO and marketing purpose, so that they can get exposure for their products. It really depends on the individuals.. So, why do u wanna know about writing articles?? Hehe.
Ezinearticles is definitely a place you should submit your articles to. You can't miss this! Lately, I also found that you can write articles and then setup a lens in squidoo. it is also a kind of marketing that related to articles. You may also post your articles in forum and blog(as a guest writer)
Writing and posting articles aren't the only things that you must take into consideration. Remember, you MUST write original, unique articles only. Lest they will only be marked as duplicate content.
Though there are lots of promotional works to be done, articles writing, I think, is the best as long as the articles are unique.
Yeah article marketing is really great because of so many reasons. You get some high quality backlinks, you get some "free" traffic, and they are there to stay for a while. Even articles which I have wrote like 2 years ago are still driving me visitors and sales ! Article marketing is really powerful, best directories are ezinearticles, goarticles and searchwarp.
