The Easy Way to Achieve Top Search Engine Rankings

By Larry Libassi

Writing and submitting articles is one of the most effective means of promoting and improving the search engine rankings of your website. The process is fairly simple. You write articles, forward them to article submission websites, and wait for webmasters looking for content to add them to their websites.

By writing articles other webmasters can use on their sites, you can help yourself in three ways. First of all, as more webmasters use your articles and your name is seen more often, people will begin to regard you as an expert on the subject of your articles.

The second benefit that will accrue to you is that some people reading the articles you have written will click on the link to your website in the author's article box and your site will receive additional visits.

The most important reason to write and distribute articles, however, is that each time a webmaster adds one of your articles to their site you pick up another link. And, the more links there are to your site, the higher your search engine ranking in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. And, if webmasters with sites on the same subject as yours carry your articles, the links you will get from their sites can be especially valuable in improving your search engine rankings. That is why it is important to write articles related to the subject of your website, although articles on any subject can be somewhat helpful in raising the profile of your site.

Be aware that it is the author's box that will describe you and provide the link to your site, so write it as carefully as you write the article itself. The author's box at the end of this article provides a good example and has been very effective for me.

Of course, your articles will only help promote your site if other webmasters use them. To ensure that, follow these simple tips.

1. Write articles that solve problems or give readers useful information.

2. Remember that your title should create curiousity and draw readers in.

3. Webmasters will not add sloppily written, error ridden articles to their websites. Not only should your proofread your article, but you should have someone else do so as well.

4. Be concise. Don't ramble on.

5. Know your audience and teach them something they'll want to learn about.

Don't get discouraged if all of your articles aren't picked up by hundreds of sites. The more you write the more you will learn about what kinds of articles are most likely to be well received. So, stay at it and you will almost surely be rewarded for your efforts.
