Where to Post and Read Articles Online
By: Abdallah Khamis Abdallah
The internet is one of the best depositories of informative articles
especially on business, marketing and writing. These articles can be
a very invaluable source of knowledge and information for starting
and growing your business. If you are a writer and wish to see your
articles published or read what others have written then the internet
provides good forums for you to satisfy your needs.
For webmasters and online marketers, publication of free articles on
article databases, ezines and other websites is a highly effective
and long-term traffic generator. It is in an inexpensive and targeted
marketing method for attracting visitors to your website. However,
you need to write a substantial number of articles or regularly write
and post the articles in relevant high traffic article databases and
ezines to be more effective.
There are very few lists of article databases or websites which
accept articles submissions for publication and in this article I
attempt to list a few prime websites which accept articles for free
publication. New websites come up every day while others are pulled
down after some time so to get maximum exposure, post your articles
to as many sites as possible, save the articles on disk and print the
articles and file them for your own reference and record.
Before posting any of your articles, read the submission guidelines
on every website you wish to post and follow them if you are
satisfied with them.
Here are some of the websites that will publish your articles for
free (without payment to or by you):

While some websites will publish your articles without reviewing them
some will check them for suitability and conformance to their
requirements.
To enable people to visit your website, include your full url in your
bio/resource box below each of your articles so that readers can
click on it to go straight to you website. Now, visiting your website
is one thing and buying what you provide on your website is another.
You can have over one hundred thousand people visit your website in a
month but none buying anything from you.
This brings us to the issue of what you sell on your website. Do you
offer a unique item or service you have created? Uniqueness need not
be absolute but do you offer something new, refreshing or useful?
Does it solve a common problem or satisfy a common need? This and
many other questions need to be answered by you and acted on. Provide
gifts, feebies, special offers and free content such as free articles
and ebooks to attract readers to your website and to make them buy
from you.
The above listed websites can also provide you with useful articles
written by others, news and forums to assist you with information to
enhance your personal and business productivity and possibly enable
you to place advertisements for high visibility and attention.
Some of the listed websites are part of large networks of websites
and posting your articles may lead to the articles to be syndicated
in a few other websites and ezines. Others are visited regularly by
ezine editors , publishers and webmasters looking for new and useful
articles to publish and they may pick and publish your articles. All
these serve to increase the exposure of your articles and by
extension your name and website url.
To know where your articles have been published, go to www.google.com
and type the title of your article in quotation marks ( " " ) in the
search box and search. To know where all your articles have been
published go to the same search engine and type your name as written
in your articles in quotation marks and search. Do this at least
every two weeks and you will find that your articles have been
published on many ezines and websites. However, the results could be
at times disappointing. If your articles do not contain useful,
fresh, how to, problem-solving ideas or are not interesting to
editors and webmasters, they might be spurned and will not be
syndicated.
Do not confine yourself to the above websites or article databases
only but also approach ezine editors. Ezines are online newsletters
usually sent daily and weekly to opt-in subscribers. These ezines are
in need of content and if your articles meet their requirements they
will publish them for free. This might give you high exposure as some
of the ezines are read by thousands of voluntary subscribers who are
hungry for fresh ideas and information. You can find most of these
ezines by searching for "ezine directories" at www.google.com or at:
http://www.koolemail.com
http://www.ezinelocator.com
http://zinos.com
So start today to write and post articles to the above websites and
ezines to receive high exposure and traffic to your website.

Here is a "buy" letter Tina Miller recently sent to a writer wishing to produce articles for Share Your State Dot Com.
Hi Sandy:
Yes, I would like to order an article of close to 1500 words on the subject of
TICKS IN TEXAS
Some of the specific questions I want answered are:
Are the ticks bigger in Texas?
Are ticks a big problem in Texas?
Where are the tick hot spots in Texas?
What kind of ticks carry diseases in Texas?
What kind of diseases do ticks carry in Texas?
What are Texas ranchers doing about ticks?
What do homeowners in rural areas of Texas do to control tick populations naturally?
What do outfitters in Texas suggest their clients do to ward off ticks?
Did Texas Indians have any solutions to ticks?
How do ticks propogate? What is a high density of baby ticks -- say in a shovelful of dirt?
Such other questions as your research leads you to ask, or drop.
I want up to 30 links in the article where people can get more information on the subject, and one of those links should be to quote Lin Stone as found in the free book for young children, Water, Water..
http://www.browzerbooks.com/YA/Ahab/
The article will be published on shareyourstate.com in the Texas section with your byline intact. It will remain in place indefinitely. In addition to that there will be a link to your web site. You can list up to five of your other articles with detailed text description of what they contain. Plus, if you will sign up as an affiliate from
http://www.BrowzerBooks.Com/freesale.htm we will place up to five ads to the right of your article, near the top, and all the commission go to you. In other words, we want you to make money from this article besides what you have indicated would be your usual price for an article of this length.
Sincerely yours
Tina Miller

Second, and here is the rub, the lessons invariably are a "So now you tell me!" kind of thing.
