After being another victim of the economy, I decided to do what I love – writing. I started writing samples and posting them to my blog, but then I realized that my article writing could get better visibility on an article directory. I’ve been writing articles and web content for about a year, and I’ve built up a clientele and long-term clients. I thought I’d put together some basic expectations and information for other article writers to follow.

Article Writers Need a Home

When you decide to start writing articles and web content, your clients will probably ask you to post the articles to article directories. The advantage to posting them is that you showcase the articles under your own name. When you apply for a new writing gig, just point the potential client to your existing article writing and expertise.

You’ve done everything you need to do. Your website is up, it’s been through testing, and now you need to get the news out that you’re ready to rock! There are many expensive ways to advertise through pay per clicks and other methods. Article directory websites give your potential clients several benefits, and the cost is minimal (free if you write the web content yourself).

1. SEO and link backs to your website

2. Educating readers about your niche

If you haven’t heard of SEO, then you’re already at a disadvantage from your competitors. SEO is an acronym for search engine optimization, and it is the prime way to advertise your website across the Internet. Without SEO, your website will stay low on the search engine’s index and may stay well below the first or even second page when users submit search terms.

What is SEO?

When search engines crawl the Internet looking for high quality content, they rank websites and their pages based on the amount of keywords and links that are located on each web page. The search engine crawler will look at elements on the web page such as links, keywords, and the meta tags and description of the site. The best way to keep your website ranked high on the search engine’s index is to tweak these elements to focus on the website’s product and services and target keywords and phrases that search engine users submit.
