I started using articles to market my free advertising forum, TheFreeAdForum.com, about 1 month ago. I used 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 is number 1 and 2 in the Google natural listings! Folks, I started this site 6 months ago from nothing!

There are many of those who cannot afford the time to write their own website contents and articles. While writing content and articles specifically designed for the internet may take some getting used to and some researching and learning, there are many writers that can be found all over the world who could do it for you.

Many of us do not have the time to learn web content writing and article writing designed for the internet. There are writers who have great experience in doing this and charge only a minimal fee for such work. Writers like this can be regarded as experts in this style of writing and can greatly help your website to get that coveted spot in the search engine rankings.

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.
