Promoting and publishing articles for free can offer one of the most powerful advertising venues available. This is the key to utilizing any advertising campaign and at the cost of literally nothing.
The Internet Network sits in a class of its own in regards to marketing strategies and promotion. And one can utilize and alter the journey from which an original article takes during its reign by way of linking. Linking article to article or article to website or blog from the resource box broadens exposure. Therefore the articles path extends in all directions. Linking one article to another to start with however, creates demand and credibility for the author. Once an article becomes popular this is when linking it to your website will likely draw more interest. This ingenious concept not only informs the end reader, its self functional purpose can generate profound results and is quite frankly the internet craze for business and personal promotion.
E-zine and article website directories and banks have grown popular giving the author extensive exposure. And allowing the use of key words and phrases, an article's popularity can land them on the main pages of Yahoo search engines via the directories they were submitted to. A high traffic and high ranking directory is of course an ideal start for that first article. And the ultimate goal is to avoid rejection.
Quality Verses Quantity
Thoroughly researched articles which are well written will be approved. However, quantity may not produce the end results when articles submitted are only approved from lower ranking directories and article banks. Search engines do favor high ranking sites when indexing duplicate content. In turn if the article in favor is linked back to a high ranking website, article e-zine directory or bank, the article will be indexed with a higher merit. Articles submitted to thirty or more low ranking sites to gain traffic will result in just that, traffic.
On the other hand, this approach does little for the website itself as far as quality indexing. Regardless of the number of sites an article is published on it will be indexed by search engines from its original origin. If the original origin is low ranking, chances are this one article will be indexed as duplicate content giving it and the website of origin little credibility when indexed for rank. For any small business owner or corporation article marketing via the internet is one of the most cost effective ways to promote any service or product online or off. Article e-zines and directories use favoured articles to promote their own website. This in turn creates another form of advertising enhancing exposure even further and at no additional cost. Another luxury one can gain by writing a well written informative article.
Taking this one step further is what creates the end results. When one multiplies their efforts to 30, 50 or even a 100 articles, publishing to this degree can create an explosive demand for the author in question which creates the snowball effect. And that single article consisting of quality informative content is where it all started. One must keep in mind however, that slapping together just facts and keywords or rewriting another article with a Synonym mind set to accomplish that high quantity rating will not fit the bill and can be detected as duplicate content. . Doing this can also discredit the author if this method is repeated and approval rates will drop.
Low ranking sites however have been known to accept work written in this manner. Reason being, quantity is the key factor in boosting popularity of their own site via the authors who submit to them. Work must be original whether it is written by the author or someone who wrote it for them. But quite frankly, buying the talent of others is not the ideal path to authorship.

Book/Writing Advice
By: cjdaves157 | 24-07-2008
I am writing a book. Below is an excerpt, looking for opinions and advice.
Given A Choice
I have often tried to imagine what my life would have been like if I could have picked my parents and circumstances in advance. If given a choice before birth I am sure I would have chosen a wealthy, high profile, investment banker father with a mother who spent her entire days planning fundraising soirées for the benefit of underprivileged kids.
My childhood would have been filled with lavish vacations, shopping sprees and summers studying abroad. All of my friends would line up for the chance to stay over at my five story one hundred and fifty room mansion located somewhere off the west coast where the sun was always shining and the olympic size pool was always inviting. My nanny, obviously from some foreign country, would take care of all the daily chores that would have helped me to grow into a responsible adult. My teenage bedroom would have been the size of a normal ranch style house with a closet the size of a three car garage. I would have been the envy of every teenage girl and the crush of every teenage and preteen boy.
I imagine I would have sailed through adolescence and breezed through young adulthood without any obstacles to help shape my moral values. I envision me selecting Civil Law as my profession and the standard successful husband and two and a half kids. My children would grow to become successful adults with professions in the medical, legal and political fields.
After spoiling tons of grandchildren and leaving my mark on the world, I would have died somewhere around the age of ninety-five, quietly in my home under the care of a most wonderful and loving Hospice worker. My life?s achievements and my husband?s pension would ensure that my children and their children would be set financially for life. I am sure that I am not alone in my thoughts of what would have made the perfect atmosphere for the perfect childhood. Some may have chosen more exotic locations, more wealth or maybe more high profile, celebutant parents. I envision that just enough for whatever I wanted would have been perfect enough.
Similar to how infertile couples pick out sperm at a sperm bank I use to think it would have been nice to review the details of what I was being born into. Looking back now I know that choice is not always a good thing. Most children born into the scenario I described above end up killing thirty of their peers in a school yard shooting, after which suicide seems to become their only way out. I believe that there is a higher power that does review the blueprints of families and has a keen sense for why you are placed where you are. Still, when I think back to the sperm analogy used above, I see my parents picking ?purple sperm? and I came out ?green?.
