Writing articles that other people can reprint on their website, or in their eZine is one of the most effective ways of getting free traffic to your website. Write articles related to your website and allow other people to reprint them on their website provided that your by-line remains intact and that they link to your website from the article.

Writing articles accomplishes three things:

1.You get free traffic from websites that reprint your article.

2.You get a link to your website, which in turns helps your Search Engine rankings.

3.Over time, you develop a reputation as being an expert in your field.

The by-line of your article should have the name of the article, your name, a short description of the article, reprint information, and a link to your website. For example:

You can advertise your product in other businesses’ newsletters that cater to your target audience. This technique can work well and it can bomb. I don’t advise this for beginners, as there are more cost effective, longer lasting methods of promoting your website.

However, if you feel compelled to advertise in a newsletter, do LOTS of research ahead of time. Find out as much as you can about the newsletter. Look for testimonials from past advertisers, and compare their products with yours. Make sure your product is a good fit for the eZine you choose to advertise in. I strongly recommend that beginners not bother with advertising in other people’s newsletters unless they are advertising for free or next to nothing.
