ARTICLE WRITING can be an extremely effective way for you to get publicity for both yourself and for your website.

The idea is that you write short articles that are distributed free throughout the internet. (There are plenty of online magazines and newsletters that are hungry for good material.) You include a brief 'Resource Box' at the end of your article that includes an active hyperlink to your website, and make it a condition for re-publishing your article that this remains intact. A good article can get published hundreds, if not thousands of times - and each time that means a link to your site that will improve its rank with search engines, and also a chance to drive visitors to your website.

If you have a talent for writing, a few hours work can add up to a lot of free publicity for your website. Some people write dozens of articles, all of which bring links and visitors to their website. The publication of articles will be global; which is great if you wish to trade internationally, but a waste of time for a small local business...
