I am not going to waste your time or mine filling this information with a bunch of fluff so let's get down to why writing and submitting articles is one of the most important skills you absolutely must learn to use if you are going to succeed in your online business.

First of all when you write and submit articles to article directories you are making your presence known online, you are getting free traffic which can mean extra income for you, you are setting yourself up as an expert in your field.

Your articles will be read by countless numbers of other marketers or people just looking for information but this can benefit you by bringing in extra income when someone decides to click through to your site after reading your article.

You will also most likely get some one way links back to your site which will raise your site's page rank giving you even more free traffic and quite possible and most probably will also add to your overall sales.

Another great aspect of article writing and submitting is that your articles will most likely be copied for use by others. When someone decides to use your articles on their site they are required to also include your resource box which should have a link back to your site.

There will be (of course) some people who will choose not to include your resource box but there are ways to protect yourself from this.

When writing articles you should be sure to use keywords related to your online website. Make sure to use the free keyword tool from wordtracker to find long tail keywords as these are not searched for as often but can and usually do result in more targeted traffic reading your article and subsequently clicking through to your site.

I have also found that when you use the right keywords you can find your site on page one of google quickly and with very little competition.

Whatever reason you have for writing and submitting articles you will find that after you have written several good articles that the process seems to get a lot easier.

If you want a website where others fill the site with content having your own Article Site Builder can be a great way to go.

Not only will you get a lot of great content that is unique, you will also find a lot of great information there. Plus because search engines love unique content your site will likely get high page rank within a short period of time.

Writing articles doesn't have to be something you dread. Just make sure (I can't say this enough) that you are using good keywords, and that the article flows so that anyone reading it will continue to read to the end and of course hopefully click through to your site to see just what a great product or website presence you have to offer.

Just to make sure you understand that article writing isn't and shouldn't be your only form of traffic you will find a lot more information and lots of special deals in my upcoming articles.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and happy article writing to you.
