Using Blogs As Sources In Articles

Posted by MKWeb on Aug 30th, 2008 | 6 comments

Get Traffic to Your Site

Depending on what type of blog that you have, it might
be a good idea to advertise your blog using articles.

For example, say you know about jewelry and gemstones,
and your blog is a place where you post information
for people to read about jewelry.

Submitting an article to a website such as Associated
Content can be very instrumental in bringing people to
your blog.

An good example would be is if you wanted to talk
about the common misconceptions about the colors of
gemstones.

You could write about the fact that people assume that
gemstones such as emeralds, sapphires and rubies are
one different color, but the truth is that those
stones come in a variety of colors and hues.

Then you can use your blog as a source for your
information, as long as you have blogged about those
gemstones.

The great thing is that some places, like Associated
Content, will pay you for the articles that you write.

So if you sell jewelry on your blog, it’s like being
paid twice for your knowledge. Of course, this is just
an example of the way you can use articles to
advertise your blog.

When you are writing an article, be creative. You
don’t have to be an expert at what you do. If you
enjoy writing stories, you can say that posting
stories on blogs is a new and different way to share
your stories with others.

Then, post your blog link as your source and you have
people checking out your blog and your stories.

   Articles can be useful promotion, but remember to have them well proofread or they can end up making you look bad rather than good!

   I have read more and more about how writing and submitting articles is good for blog traffic. My blog is more of a personal blog as opposed to a niche blog. So I never really could figure out how to tie the two together.

   A well written and informative post! I have been posting articles a lot recently and find them an excellent way of building backlinks and gaining traffic.

   My blog is more on the personal side as well, I have a friend who write articles for different subjects and have posted them on the blog from time to time, but they really don’t do any better or any worse than some of my other more personal things. People seems to love stories about my chickens…so that is what I write…lol

   Blogs are also useful to write about news events in and link to nrespapers, because over time the newspapers will remove their story and archive it, but the blog story will remain.

   And i personally have not found much of a traffic gain from associated content articles, but the evtra few dollars a month is quite nice.
