Websites are all about information. There is a website for almost anything you can think of or imagine. News sites are aplenty and so are technology centered websites catering to the techie in all of us. Just the other day I stumbled upon a website that taught its visitors how to take game consoles apart the correct way (with the proper disclaimer of course). The text was very accurate and complete in that the step-by-step process were guided with images and detailed specifications. This would have been very useful if I wanted to take my Playstation 2 apart either to fix it or make some modifications. Sadly, not all websites are created equal. Some are better than others in terms of content, aesthetics and overall coolness.

So if you are the webmaster of one cool and exceptionally useful site, you have got to let the world know of your site’s existence. I mean, it would be a crime not to. Right? If your reason for having the site is monetary, the mantra of “more traffic equals more commerce” is very appropriate here. If you put up the site for non-monetary reasons, you would still pine for more traffic if only for awareness and appreciation causes. So what do you do other than employ the usual word of mouth promotions to friends and colleagues? Instead of annoying people with your constant physical advertising campaign, why not have a go with a tried and tested method. I am talking about link building. One way of doing this is through article submissions. This approach involves two steps. The first step is having an original article concerning the subject matter or focus of your site. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it should be relevant and center on keywords that pertains to the subject of your website. The second step is the tedious labor-intensive process of giving away your original article. Why and how should you give it away you ask?

Why do we usually give something away? It’s to get something in return. In this case, we want links back to our website. Let’s say someone with a website takes a liking to your article. He/she uses it on his site that includes a link back to your site and someone else who visits that site sees your article and link and puts it on his/her site and so on. That’s basically how it works. Now onto how you’ll go about giving away your article in the fastest most effective way possible. Remember I mentioned tedious earlier? If you’re up to registering and signing up then you’ll have fun doing this but most people would rather have other people do it for them. There are hundreds of sites that pool articles according to category and detail types readying them for use. They’re either in text or html format for easier download and website integration. Visiting each one to sign-up and submit your article would be fine if you are not busy with other aspects of running a website. Outsourcing this task would be a more cost-effective way of doing this.

Noticing an increase in your number of hits will just be the beginning, as the article submission method will take your site to new heights.
