I have aout 50 original articles relating to navigation systems. I have a navigation affiliate site on which I would like to gain more traffic. With these articles should I: 1. Publish them on my main affiliate site under a "navigation articles" section? 2. Make another website hosted on a different server and post the articles on that site and link back to my main site? 3. Make a blog on blogspot or on a blog site and post the articles and link back? Basically I am looking for the best way to use these articles.
1 article on Ezinearticles Try to contact big blogs and see if they'll let you guest post in exchange for a link back. Make sure your site has enough information for people to want to come back and visit. I wouldn't recommend making a new site and posting articles on that... thats a waste.
Then submit them to as many sites as you can. The more who read your articles, the more who come to your site.
I dont want to post them on several different sites, I want to know if I should post them on my own main site, or would it be better to pick a different venue such as a blog hosted on a different server
If its a choice between your main site or another site you will create - your site. If the articles are good, other sites will link to them.
I think for me, I would go for option 1 and 2 but it also depends on what you want to achieve…if you rather earn from affiliates then option 1 should be better. Option 2 can only help on the PR
