Ezine Articles - The Benefits Of Publishing
Writing articles and having them published in ezines
(electronic magazines) and on websites is one of the most
effective free promotional resource available on the
Internet.
When you submit your articles (ie offer them for
publishing), a "resource box" is attached to each article.
The resource box is simply a couple of sentences containing
a brief bit of biographical information about the author or
a reference to the author's field of expertise or interest.
Most importantly, the resource box contains a link to the
author's website.
You need to get the widest possible circulation for your
article. To do this, you could submit the article to
owners of websites with similar content to the subject of
your article. This, however, is a time consuming process
and the same results can be achieved faster if you submit
your articles to article directories. If there are certain
high ranking websites where you particularly want to place
your article, you can email the webmasters of those sites
direct. However, excellent results can be obtained simply
by submitting your articles to directories. When you
submit your articles, each one will automatically be
available for anyone to republish provided that they do not
change the article in any way and that they include your
resource box with the link to your website.
Simply having your article posted on article directory
websites means that each directory is providing a one-way
link back to your website and this will enhance your
website's status with the search engines. Free one-way
links are sought after by all webmasters, but the benefits
of article publishing do not stop there.
Once your article is published on the article directory
websites, it will be discovered by owners of websites and
ezines who visit the article directories looking for
content to use in their web pages or to send to the people
who subscribe to their ezines. When these website owners
publish your article (complete with resource box) you get
the benefit of further one-way links back to your website.
When other webmasters read the ezines and like your
article, they will use it on their websites and this gives
you more one-way links back to your site. When these
websites are visited by other webmasters, they can pick up
your article and publish it on their websites or in their
newsletters where it will be seen by further webmasters?
This should give you a pretty clear idea of the viral
nature of advertising by article writing. Just sending
your article to a few directories can result in it being
published in hundreds of different locations, thereby
giving you more one-way links, but the benefits do not stop
even there.
We have looked at the benefits of article writing as a way
of obtaining valuable one-way links. There are also direct
benefits to be obtained from every published article in
terms of human appreciation. All those webmasters who are
republishing your articles are doing so because they
believe the article will interest, amuse or maybe even
educate their subscribers or site visitors. When people
read your article and find it interesting, amusing or
informative, they will quite likely click the link to your
website.
Sometimes article readers who visit your website will do so
out of pure curiosity, others might be looking for
something specific and, with luck, you will be offering
that very item and will make a sale. Maybe the curious
visitor will sign up for your newsletter to see what else
they can learn from you or maybe they will bookmark your
website for future visits and make a purchase at a later
time. Any of these outcomes are satisfactory - the
visitors have cost you nothing apart from the time spent in
writing and submitting the article and a good article will
continue to spread and work for you for years to come.
