How writing and posting free articles impacts on your search engine rankings

Author: Lois S.

In recent times a very worrying trend has emerged of search engines making regular and constant changes in their rules and policies which determine their ranking of websites in search results. This has caused quite a bit of panic and anxiety amongst many webmasters who have been heavily dependent on traffic generated from their search engine optimization efforts.

It is not a pleasant thing to have virtually all your traffic wiped out instantly by a change in your search engine rankings occasioned by changes suddenly made by a search engine. And no matter how mad you get at the search engines, there is little you can do to change the statistics which indicate that well over 75% of the traffic that most sites receive come directly from search engines.

However, there is a secret that an increasing number of webmasters have discovered and are putting to good use. Whatever regular changes search engines instigate, there re some things that never change. For example the number and quality of links to your website or blog still remain a very critical factor in determining your search engine ranking. One of the most effective ways of creating numerous quality links to a website or blog is by using well written, informative articles posted free at various article directories and other relevant sites all over the net.

Admittedly the articles will need to be very well-written and very informative to have a significant impact on the search engine rankings of your website. Still it is not very expensive to even get an online writer to write them for you, if you cannot write them for yourself. Besides it is much less frustrating and much less expensive that the other search engine optimization methods.

You will also need to do a thorough job of posting your articles to various article directories, ezine publishers and announcement lists.

Quality articles usually enjoy a viral effect that will see them quickly get re-posted all over the net from the few sites and directories where you will initially post them. The effect of this is to create even more quality links to your site at a very rapid rate. Done properly, an initial effort will yield a permanent and continuous high growth rate of quality links and traffic for your site for many years to come.
