It's no great secret that the way to gain ranking positions in the search engines is by getting back links. Up to recently this used to consist of contacting other webmasters and asking them to link to your site in return for linking to theirs. Unfortunately this form of reciprocal linking is no longer as useful as it once was. One way links are now the key. There is no better way to get lots of one way links than by creating and distributing articles.
Content is the life blood of the Internet every webmaster needs it and every website needs fresh content to keep Google and the other Search engines coming back regularly. By writing articles you can provide this content and at the same time get yourself permanent back links to your website. This article will attempt to answer some common questions asked by first time article writers.
What should I be writing about?
It is important that when you start out you write about what you know. You should also ensure that the content is relevant to the site you'll be promoting in the resource box.
How do webmasters find my articles?
When you have finished writing and checking your articles you will submit them to article directories. These are like online libraries where the articles are listed in categories. Webmasters can copy the articles from these directories and use them just so long as they keep all the links in the articles live. You'll need to make sure that you have added a resource box to the bottom of your article that contains your links.
Won't people just remove the links?
This does sometimes happen but it is often a genuine mistake. If you find one of your articles without live links a quick email to the site owner is usually all it takes to get the links restored. By using a unique pen name or a unique phrase in all your articles you'll be able to trace them through Google much easier.
What length should the articles be?
Usually anywhere between 350 words and 500 words is ideal. If you find yourself writing longer article split them up into 2 or 3 separate articles
Should I submit my article to more than 1 site?
That is a matter of personal choice some people believe that you should submit them to as many as possible, personally I only submit to 2 or 3 sites with a Google PR of 3 and above. My personal belief is that this keeps the articles unique enough to benefit any webmasters who use the articles.
How many Articles should I write?
The more you write the better If 1 article a week gets you an extra 50 links then imagine the links you'll get if you write one article a day. I usually try to write 1 article before breakfast everyday.
