Write Articles to Increase Web Site Traffic

Writing articles and submitting them to article directories for reprint is an excellent way to increase traffic to your web site. Because the article directories require those that reprint your article(s) to also include your byline and a hyperlink back to your web site, you get direct traffic from readers who want to find out more information about you and/or your web site.

In addition, since each reprinted article contains a link back to your site, you also increase the number of inbound links to your web site and this in turn increases your search engine rankings and overall traffic over time. This is why many Search Engine Optimization (SEO) experts consider article writing and distribution one of the best available SEO methods.

There are currently hundreds of article directories where you can submit your article(s) for reprint. Submitting to each one manually is an overwhelming task. Instead, Bryxen Software has developed a computer application called “ArticleSubmitter” to help automate the process. The free version of the software allows you to submit your article(s) to a variety of article directories and it also keeps track of your submissions, account information (logins, notes, etc) and more.

I currently use the software myself, and it has saved me a lot of time compared to the manual submissions I did before. I would highly recommend the program to anyone who is interested in increasing their web site traffic and search engine rankings trough article writing.

Microsoft Makes Offer to Buy Yahoo

The Microsoft corporation announced earlier today that it is in the process of making an offer to buy Yahoo for about $45 billion dollars. The buy-out is an attempt for Microsoft to join forces with Yahoo to compete against Google in the Web search market.

Currently, Google controls about 79 percent of the worldwide Web search market while Yahoo is second with about 16 percent and Microsoft is a distant third with 4 percent.

If Microsoft is successful in buying Yahoo, it would be interesting to see how this affects Google’s current market dominance and if either Microsoft and/or Yahoo will drastically change their search algorithms. If so, this could result in changes in search engine optimization techniques used by webmasters.
