As the list of your published articles grow larger, and more and more of them are
appearing on different websites, the total number of links to your site increases also.
Major search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links to websites so
they can determine the importance of a certain site.
The more incoming links the website has, the more importance search engines attaches
to it. This will then increase your website’s placement in the search results.
If you site is into promoting a product or service, the links that your articles have
achieved will mean more potential customers for you. Even if visitors only browse
through, you never know if they might be in need of what you are offering in the future.
There are also those who already have specific things they need on their mind but
cannot decide yet between the many choices online. Chances are, they may stumble
upon one of your articles, gets interested by the contents you wrote, go to your site and
became enticed by your promotions.
See how easy that is?
Search engines do not just index the websites, they also index published articles. They
also index any article that is written about your own website’s topic. So once someone
searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even show the
articles that you have written.
And to think, no effort on your part was used to bring them to your site. Just your
published articles and the search engines.
It is no wonder why many webmasters are suddenly reviving their old writing styles and
taking time to write more articles about their site than doing other means of promotion.
Getting their site known is easier if they have articles increasing their links and traffic and
making it accessible for visitors searching the Internet. Since many people are now
taking their buying needs online, having your site on the search engines through your
articles is one way of letting them know about you and your business.
The good thing with articles is that you can write about things that people would want to
know about. This can be achieved in the lightest mood but professional manner, with a
little not-so-obvious sales pitch added.
If you think about it, only a few minutes of your time is spent on writing one article and
submitting to free content site. In the shortest span of time also, those are distributed to
more sites than you can think of. Even before you know what is happening, you are
getting more visitors than you previously had.
