Portfolio: Web Articles

 

Below is a partial list of 400-600 word articles I’ve written for various companies as part of their SEO backlink campaign. Websites that offer free web content are a resource for web publishers who are looking for ways to add quality content to their site.

Though free content articles must be informative and impartial, you are allowed to plug your website at the end of the article which generates a backlink. These articles are an extremely cost effective way to build the essential backlinks your website needs to earn 1^st page status while also establishing your company as a knowledgeable industry leader.

These articles attract readers as you can see by the number of visits each of these articles has had on just one article site. These may have been viewed by people who were interested in the topics or by webmasters looking for relevant content to add to their sites where even more people will view it.

You never know who will come across one of your articles. The other day, someone contacted me about featuring one of my articles to their site. Of course, I agreed and that one article drove a great deal of traffic to my site in return.

The article, titled “How to Build an Online Press Room,” was one that I wrote about 8 months ago. The wonderful thing about articles is that they continue doing their job long after they are written. These are results from just one free article submission site, eZine Articles. There are numerous free article submission sites that can be utilized for increased visibility.
