I started using articles to market my free advertising forum, TheFreeAdForum.com, about 1 month ago. I used an article submission software to post about 10 articles per day to about 500 article directories. I used Article Post Robot but you might also want to check out Article Marketer which automatically posts your articles to over 1000 article directories.

I created a pen name called "John Ugoshowa" I just made it up. When I started there were no entries for "John Ugoshowa" in Google. Go ahead and type "John Ugoshowa" in Google now. As of writing this there are 54,900 websites linking to John Ugoshowa! I just made the dude up a month ago! Pretty scary when you think of the possibilities actually. All the websites have links back to my free advertising forum. This gives my site traffic plus high search engine rankings. Go ahead and type "free classified ads forum" in Google We are number 1 and 2 in the Google natural listings! Folks, I started this site 6 months ago from nothing!

My site is now rated about 30,000 Alexa and climbing and several hundred people per day join the forum. Traffic is going up and up fast. All I had to do is buy the software and start posting articles. All the 54,900 links are from using this software. Article directories are generally high traffic sites too. So my site now has 1000s of high traffic sites linking to me. You can do the same for your websites.Imagine how this can work for your websites and programs! If you are not using article marketing to promote your website your are missing a huge opportunity for almost free high quality traffic.

You can write your own articles about your subject if you can. You do not have to be a great writer. Just write what you know. You can also purchase what they call PLR articles. These are articles where that are pre written but you have the right to put your own name on them as the author."Private Label Rights" is what PLR stands for. I have personally tested the waters with article marketing and it works big time! I suggest you get started ASAP for your own websites.
