Another great way to accomplish this is to have what is known as an Article Exchange/Article Trading Center on your website. (Do you need a website-setup free?) email me at end of article, I can help you here!

This is where you would swap articles with other webmasters/article authors in order to benefit both parties. This is done much the same way as exchanging links but with far more effective results ( in my opinion). There are many benefits to adding an article center to your site:

*Builds your reputation and online presence *Establishes you as a reliable online presence *Increases your circle of contacts and networking *Improves your search engine status *Provides readily available ezine content *Adds content to your website

When you find the articles you are looking for, contact the author (this will be you soon enough) and explain your offer. Let him/her know the benefits of trading articles with you. Be selective in choosing the articles. You want well written articles that contain helpful information and/or resources. (Hint here-see why YOU have to write?)

PUBLISH OR PERISH! Ever heard that before?

What you need to do is trade and write articles for and with quality, websites that compliment, not compete, with your website. Join some of the article lists above to find the type of article and research what you are looking for. You can also visit websites with article directories.

You will instantly be able to get your articles posted on popular websites in all corners of the world. This will improve your link popularity and allow more opportunities for people to find your website.

Compiling a vast and varied Article Exchange/Trading Center will draw more visitors to your site as well as improve your ranks in the search engines. Having your articles postedall over the net will help build your reputation and increase your online success. Get started today on your new Article Exchange/ Trading Center!

Write-Be famous, be known! Have a huge Swipe File! (hint you do have a “swipe” file?)

Plus, ezine & website publishers are always searching these directories looking for new articles to use for their own newsletter or website and when they publish your work, they are required to include your resource box which can lead to thousands & thousands of dollars worth of exposure for your website and the only thing it costs you is a little bit of time and perseverance.

At the end of your article, create a resource box. Example: (This is a must or it kinda defeats the purpose, right?)
