Writing articles and submitting them to article directories is a simple, but very powerful and effective way to create interest and generate traffic to your site. Best of all, it’s free.
For years, most successful online marketers and many marketing offline too, have used article submission as a way to draw attention to their products and send interested traffic their way.
Basically how it works is that you write interesting (hopefully) articles. You submit them to article directories for other people to use freely on their sites, blogs and in their written works. The condition is that they have to use the article as it is – they’re not allowed to change it – and at the bottom you have included a link back to your own website, product or blog. When people read the article, and if they like it, they’ll possibly click on the link and you’ll get free traffic to your website.
