Writing and submiting online articles, why do that ?

You may have heard of articles depository websites (ADWs). These are websites that can host your articles for you. You can categorized them and also put up links where when click will take the readers to an external website of your choice. The external website could be further information in the form of a website or blog on the contents of your articles. It could be a product you want your readers to buy by way of an affiliate link. Or a membership website you want your readers to join. Actually, the possibilities are limitless.

Most ADWs where you placed your articles can provide various information for your article. It could be a reader's counter ; how many readers have open your articles ? A recommend counter ; how many have recommend your articles to their friends by emailing them. Ranking ; how many people that have read your articles rank you basing on how they find your articles to be useful to them. And many more information you can find. Sometimes the terms each ADWs use are different, but their function is more or less the same.

As you have posted in an ADWs, the readers that read your articles may likely be your target audience. This may not the case when it comes to traffic exchange or manual surf programs. These programs basically "force" the internet users to open your website articles page as they gain some points for doing so. They are really not your target audience to begin with.

But what about other benefits you get beside your articles being read by the ADWs readers ?

One particular advantage if you submit your articles to very popular and established ADWs is that your articles will be listed in the search engines in a record short period of time, some as fast as 2 days.

But there is a new website promising to share you part of the profit they make each month if you have attained certain achievement which are 1) most contributed articles and 2) most read articles.

We will cover a lot more on this newly launched ADW in later articles.
