When it comes to getting the word out about your new website there are many ways you can decide to go. Social bookmarking (like Digg, StumbleUpon, de.licio.us, and more) is still a relatively new way to market your website. Submitting your links to directories is a tried and true method but also very time consuming. Buying links can be hit-or-miss and can end up costing more than you bargained for and not paying off if not researched properly. Then, there is article marketing as a way to spread the word and advertise your website.

There are so many positives to article marketing that it is difficult to really focus on one or two. Here are some of the top benefits to using article marketing to advertise your website.

Marketing your website using article submission allows other people to use their website to spread the word about yours. Almost every article submission service allows either links within the body of the article and/or a signature box where you state something about the author including a link back to your site. Now, when someone copies your article and uses it on their website they are creating links back to your website. The more articles you submit the more chance someone will use it and it will link back to you.

Submitting many articles on a specific niche gets your name recognized as an authority in your field. People will see you as one of the go-to people for your niche if they are reading articles written by you all over the internet. With this newfound authority status, soon people will seek out your site to see what you have to say on a subject that they are researching.

Whether you leave the article the same or change the wording (most SEO people suggest this), once you’ve written an article you can also use it on your own site. This saves work and time as the energy you spent writing the article now benefits your incoming links when other people publish it, as well as benefits your own site development because it adds to your content.

Knowledge is power, and the more research and writing you do related to your niche or field, the more knowledge you gain. You may not even feel this benefit as you’re doing the researching and writing, but it’s happening inside you and it’ll help you as long as you do anything related to that niche.
