The Write to Link Popularity
By Nicholas Dixon
Using writing as a means of boosting your link popularity can be
a turnoff for many webmasters, when in fact it can lead to a wealth
of links. I first learnt about link popularity while researching
about many different methods that I could use to market a Geocities
site I had. After emailing countless webmasters and receiving some
dismal results, I realized that it was hopeless to get people to
exchange links with my freebie website.
Then I discovered writing. At first I was skeptical at using this
concept but after trying it for some time, the results began to
show. What was wonderful is that it only cost me some of my time.
With the help of article writing I was able to achieve a Pagerank
of 4 for my Geocities website. The more webmasters that archived
my articles the more links I had pointing to my site. As a result
of my growing link popularity I began to see my site show up on
the first or second page for some relatively competitive search
terms.
Using writing as a marketing tool can save you thousands in advertising
dollars. Imagine a website or ezine that costs hundreds to advertise
in and you have the feature article which didn’t cost you a
dime to produce. You can easily see which generates more profit
in the long run. Through the power of the written word you can be
able to get free publicity for your business. Providing quality
and profitable and sometimes inspiring information can help you
to achieve that goal. Many top marketers have used writing to good
effect.
Developing your own writing style is important. As there are many
others doing the same thing you what to differ from them. How can
you stand out in a crowd if you are just like everyone else. Practicing
and researching helped me to put pen to paper for my first articles.
Some of your first creations maybe a bit tacky but as long as you
keep going you can improve. Writing can be a task at times.
There are moments when I have written the first two paragraphs
and just get stuck. The inevitable writer’s block can be a
challenge to overcome. Taking a break and getting into the right
frame of mind can be helpful. Can anyone become a writer? Well the
answer depends on how much effort you put into it. I have had some
wonderful experiences since I became a writer.
At times when there are criticisms and negative feedback, they
can help you to better your skills if you use them the right way.
Many people don’t like writing. But sometimes it is the things
that we don’t enjoy doing that are most beneficial to us. Try
your hand at writing, if a guy from a Caribbean island can do it
then so can you.
