Owning, running and keeping an
internet based business or a site needs articles. Plain and simple, every who
has a site knows this. Even those who don’t have sites but are always an
internet user knows this as well. Articles quench the thirst for information
and knowledge of the people. Plus, the articles provide many other benefits for
the site.
The advantages that articles provide
are putting a site high in the ranking in search results of keywords and
keyword phrases that specify or are relevant to his or her site. They also give
attraction to website visitors when they are satisfied and are linked to your
site from another site or newsletter. Articles deliver for the increase of the
confidence and trust levels of customers to your site and company.
Lots of articles are also beneficial
to both company and its traffic. When the readers like the articles, they might
tell more of their friends, family and peers and promote your site to them,
providing for a larger volume of traffic. You get larger sales if your traffic
trusts and believes in you. Your product or services would be much easier to
sell when they know you know what you are doing and talking about.
So ok, we have established that
articles are very important to a site and to business. Articles are important
and to keep ahead in the game, a site must have an article, it is essential.
There is one dilemma though, not many people like writing articles.
Many website holders would rather
spend their time on something else, and unless you’re a big time company, you
don’t have the other resources to use on a pool of article writers. Plagiarism
or copying of other articles is frowned upon and could easily get you into
trouble, worst case scenario; a hefty fine and jail time.
So what are the other options?
Well, for beginners if you hate
writing articles and you can’t afford to hire people to write for you then
don’t. Get free articles. The first place to search at for free articles is the
public domain. Here you won’t have
problems with copyright infringement and the following penalties and fines if
you get caught for plagiarism.
Public domain articles are articles
freely distributed to the public for public use. You can do whatever you want
with it. You can put it on your site, name it as yours, put it in a newsletter
its you decision. Always keep in mind though that you will have to select articles
that are very relevant to your site.
The downside to public domain
articles is that even it is free for everybody; many of your competitors may
have ways to them as well. Since every site needs to be original and unique
even though you have the same niche, this could be a problem. You may also have
to edit them a bit to place more keywords and keyword phrases to make them
better.
Another ways to get free articles is
to allow other site which has the same subject or topic as yours to submit
articles to your site. This would be only to augment your existing content or
else all your articles would be pioneer to other sites since these articles
would have resource boxes with them that could link or direct the readers to
their site. That’s why it is essential to have your own articles; you cold use
them to link your site to other sites as well.
But, to truly feel the stake of what
a good article to you, go for original ones. There are lots article writers who
do part time and freelance article writing jobs that rate only minimal fees.
You can get good articles that have all the keywords and keyword phrases you
need and people are looking for.
The capital you made for these
articles would be worthwhile because you could use them for all the advantage
you could offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able to use them
anyway you want. As your articles help you in building your business and your
site, you will have more articles to write and maybe then you wont be having
second thoughts about articles.
