Putting Your Articles to Work on Your Own Site

Be certain to place all of your articles on your own website. The same benefits that accrue to the other webmasters who printed your articles will apply to your site too. Archive your articles with a link from your home page. The link will pass PageRank to the archived articles. One good solution is to give each article a separate web page with title tags targeting the main keywords of the article.

By individually optimizing each article page, your site will have many more keywords to attract search engine traffic. The addition of the keyword rich articles not only provides a boost in your search engine visitor traffic, but provides reasons for visitors to return to your site over and over to read fresh content. Many website owners will link to your archived articles, providing your website with valuable themed natural incoming links.

Adding an RSS feed to your site will help you to syndicate your articles to many websites. RSS (meaning both Really Simple Syndication or Rich Site Summary) requires a bit of simple XML code added to your site, to enable your content to be read by RSS reading software. Easily downloaded and installed, an RSS reader will accept the title, a link, and a summary of your article for reading, by those who subscribe to your RSS feed channel. A complete discussion of RSS feeds is beyond the scope of this article.

Conclusion

Writing Internet e-zine articles is a great free method to get new visitors to your site.

You will receive valuable theme related incoming links. With search engines like Google adding theming and Teoma using clustering, your articles become even more valuable than ever.
