Public domain articles are articles freely given to the public for public use. You can do
whatever you want with it. You can place it on your site, name it as yours, put it in a
newsletter its you decision. Always remember though that you will have to choose
articles that is very relevant to your site.
The downside to public domain articles is that since it is free for everybody, many of your
competitors may have access to them as well. Since every site needs to be original and
unique even though you have the same niche, this could be a predicament. You may
also have to edit them a bit to place more keywords and keyword phrases to make them
better.
Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which has the same subject or
topic as yours to submit articles to your site.
This would be only to augment your existing content or else all your articles would be
leading to other sites since these articles would have resource boxes with them that
could link or direct the readers to their site. That’s why it is important to have your own
articles; you cold use them to link your site to other sites as well.
Tip: to truly feel the impact of what a good article to you, go for original ones. There are
many article writers who do part time and freelance article writing jobs that charges only
minimal fees. You can get good articles that have all the keywords and keyword phrases
you need and people are looking for.
The investment you made for these articles would be worthwhile because you could use
them for all the benefits you could offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able
to use them anyway you want.
As your articles help you in building your business and your site, you will have more
articles to write and maybe then you won't be having second thoughts about articles.
