Fresh Content Is King, Therefore Writing Articles Is A Great Way To Promote A Website

If you are looking into the different options and ways to promote a website you should seriously consider article marketing. Writing articles has helped me personally to attract huge amounts of additional traffic to my own websites. New sites are always on the lookout for quality fresh content and many of these webmasters are likely to look on the best article directories to find it.
The internet is still very much in its infancy and even though there are billions of websites on the net there will be billions more built over the next few years. I like to help the webmasters of these sites by providing them with their content by submitting articles to the article directories which I hope they will use and find beneficial. They are able to use my articles for free as long as they keep all of the links live and in tact from the article.
My aim each week is to write seven articles, which at times is quite difficult especially if I am very busy. I am amazed by the amount of articles other people are able to write and submit, like for example Lance Winslow. Lance is a cult figure on ezinearticles and is an example of what can be done if you are dedicated to your profession.
As well as submitting your articles to some of the top article directories it is also worth writing some fresh content to put solely on your own website. In my opinion it is important to regularly update and add content to your website as this way it will not become stale etc. The search engines are also more likely to spider your site on a more frequent basis if you do this and the visitors to the site are more likely to keep returning if they know that this fresh content is going to be added.

37 years ago today, America landed the Apollo 11 lunar module upon Earth’s moon. For those of us old enough to remember this event we have that day permanently etched in our memories. On that date I was an almost 11 year old kid taking a summer clarinet class — we interrupted our squeakings and honkings to watch the events unfold on a black and white television as they happened.
So, why am I saying all of this? Am I attempting to mark the occasion for some reason? Well, yes and no. Truly, in the course of human history man’s landing on the moon was a big event. Talk about going where no man had gone before! Yet, I also realize that the vast number of people alive today have no recollection of the event. Figure that anyone under the age of 42 or 43 remembers nothing about the first moon landing. Subsequent landings perhaps, but maybe not the first one in 1969. Furthermore, we haven’t been back to the moon in over 30 years. How many people alive today only know about these events via the history books?
Okay, I am no longer young but I haven’t quite hit the jurassic era either. Still, when writing about events of long ago there is one thing that I must remind myself of regularly: don’t assume that people know what you are talking about. This is true for whatever types of writings you do: spell out acronyms, expound your thoughts, and make it crystal clear to your readers what you are conveying. Your readership may be a lot younger, much less informed, or simply unable to grasp what you are trying to say. Give them background information even when it seems as if they should know what you are writing about.

Posted by Web Articles on August 25th, 2008 filed in Articles | Comment now »It’s no secret that publishing articles is one of the preferred ways to get your website noticed. For someone with no writing experience (and without the funds to hire a professional) this might not be easyeven if you’re an expert on the subject you’re writing about.
If your articles aren’t good enough to capture and keep your audience’s attention, then there’s no reason to publish them. They’ll just sit there collecting dust. But with a little practice, and by following this simple template, anyone can write a good article.
Describing a Problem
The first step is to describe a problem. Only spend a single paragraph on this. Even if the problem is complicated, you don’t want to bore your audience. They already know that it’s a problem, otherwise they wouldn’t be reading. You’re really just providing an opening paragraph, and that’s all.
Why it’s a Problem
Your next step is to go into a little more detail and tell your audience about some of the possible effects of the problem you just described. Again, keep it short. You’re reinforcing what you wrote in the first paragraph, but coming up with some thoughts that the reader might not have thought about.
Your Solution
Now you’re going to give the audience their solution. A lot of times, the readers will have skipped the first two parts and scanned down to this section. So mark it with a bold sentence or a sub-heading (notice how I’ve arranged this article).
Whether you’re writing step by step instructions, top ten lists, or something in paragraph form, this will be the body of your articleso it should be at least twice as long as the first two sections.
In Closing
You’ve said what you needed to say, now wrap it up. Nothing too fancy, and don’t be fooled into thinking that the cleverer it is, the more people will like it. Just leave them with some closing thoughts.
There’s your template. There are variations of this, of course, but virtually every FOB article follows something similar. Have fun with it and fill your website with something worth reading.
