What do you want though? Cheap articles. This is the most sought after keyword on my list of website content related keywords. Cheap in terms of cost, however I do not believe anyone wants cheap in terms of quality. In the long run that is not going to get you very far. You can however have both low cost and quality articles.

I have stated this before but writing them yourself is like walking to and from work when you live 10 miles away from your job. You can get there and back perhaps but you have no time for anything else. And besides you are dead tired. Is not your time and energy more valuable than that?

And free is too cheap. That is like belonging to a swimming pool that is free to the public but if you want to swim you can not because it is too crowded all the time. Better to look into a low cost membership so that you can swim, as only by swimming can you get to your goal which in the case of article marketing or a high quality content website is unique fresh content at low cost that helps drive traffic to your site by being friendly with the search engines.

You want traffic driven to your website or do you just want it to sit there looking pretty? It does not happen by creating the website. That is only the first step. You have to actively promote your website. You can pay a lot of money for a multitude of services or you can get yourself educated on the various steps to take to promote your website such as article marketing getting your articles into various directories, using articles on blogs, getting your articles on RSS feeds or just having high quality content websites which are properly search engine optimized.

There is a lot of bad or worthless information out there about this subject but there is also a lot of good information. The trick is to tap into the good information.

Doggedly keep at it day after day an hour a day or whatever you can spend and you will make it over the hump and start to get repeated traffic. These are not get rich quick schemes as it takes work, persistence, knowledge, a good idea and a desire to success to make a good income on the internet. You are welcome to contact me for any tips.

To your success.
