Five Benefits of Article Writing


A few years ago as a webmaster with no money, I looked around forthe best free methods to drive traffic to my website.

Search engines were my primary source of traffic and due to thefact that this source took time to gain momentum, visitors werein spurts at best. Then I found a powerful technique that Icould use to boost my marketing efforts for free.

These are some benefits that I have gain from writing articles.

1) Name Branding- If you type "Oceanroc' or my name in any searchengine you will likely find hundreds if not thousands of returns.If you look at bit closer chances are those search results arepages which contain my articles.

2) Link Popularity- Last October I started a websiteOceanroc.com and by April of this year it had a PR5 rating.Articles are the main source of the one way links pointing to mywebsite.

3) Traffic- If I write an article that is interesting, then thereader may click on my link in the resource box to visit my siteto find similar content. Imagine being on websites and innewsletters with lots of readers and think about how many trafficyou could get.

4) Prestige- Up to a few months ago I was a Platinum writer over atEzinearticles.com, the 1000 lb. gorilla of article sites. Heck Ilost my status because of an affiliate link, so now I am down toExpert status. Seeing your writing being published especiallywithout you submitting it to that source helps to reassure thatyou are a quality writer.

5) Free Advertising- I have had my ads placed for free in placesthat normally would have cost me hundreds of dollars. My resourcebox is my ad spot and publishers are required to include it ifthey use one of my articles. The resource box is the medium through which you generate traffic from you articles.

If it was not for article writing I don't think that I wouldreceive some of the Joint Venture offers that I get. And thething is that many writers share these same benefits. And thereare even more??.
