1. When you submit an article to another web site, people can read your article and may click on your website to find out more about the topic or the author.
2. When you submit an article to another website, you can add a link back to your website which gives you more credit with the search engines. The more incoming links to your website, the better.
Incoming Links
Incoming links are the currency of the web and are very important for the vitality of your website. When you submit your article to websites on the web, you can gain a valuable incoming link. There's only one catch--the incoming link must be formulated precisely if you want to reap maximum benefit from the article and the link. Here's what your link needs to look like:
Real Estate Websites
or
Keyword Phrase
It's important to only submit your articles to other websites that allow you to use HTML in the article submission form. If they do not allow HTML, your article submission is worthless! There can be no linking without HTML code.
Which article to send?
Next, figure out which article you will send to the other website. You want to send an article that has a good topic, with original and relevant information that you write personally. The article should have a good number of keywords related to your topic as well. It should have a title, and it should refer to one or more websites that you want to refer the reader if the reader wants more information.
Where to point the link & direct the reader?
Point the link of the article to the location on your website that deals with the topic of the article. This is especially good if you have a good deal of information on the site you're linking to. If you don't have much information on the exact topic of the article on your website, then it is okay to just point to your home page.
