We've all heard it... "Content IS King" and for good reason because it IS as far as Internet is concerned.

And when it comes to web surfers, they come online for two reasons, One is to check there email and reason number Two is to search web for "Information".

How do you think Internet received reputation as "Information Super-Highway"?

Because thats what its primary purpose was before they decided to commercialize it to what it is today.

And... what do 'Articles' contain?

The answer is quite simple... "Information".

So, what does this have to do with you?

Be one who supplies it.

It's that simple.

Now, for rest of this article I'm going to give you 10 POWERFUL reasons WHY you should and/or need to get started using 'Articles' as one of your online marketing strategies so you too can reap benefits.

With that said, lets move on to reason #1.

Reason #1. Search Engines LOVE them.

It's no secret that Search Engines LOVE content, so if you supply it on a regular basis your giving them a great reason to stop on by to take a look around.

Once there they'll spider and index your website which is just what you want.

Reason #2. Website and Newsletter owners always need them.

I touched base on this earlier about why web surfers come online.

Website owners need fresh content to keep there visitors and/or subscribers coming back, where as newsletter publishers also need fresh content for their "email" newsletters that they publish and send to their subscriber base.

Remember two reasons I discussed earlier about WHY web surfers come online. BINGO!

Reason #3. They generate Life Long residual Traffic.

Articles produce Life Long residual traffic because website owners, newsletter publishers and article directories archive them for there visitors to read and search through.

And since you have a 'Resource Box' located at end of every article you produce with your website info and URL you'll receive traffic.

Reason #4. Great way to get One-Way HIGH PR links.

This is probably one of best reasons because when you offer your free information with 'Reprint Rights' and website owner decides to archive your article within their article directory and their website happens to have a High PR(popularity ranking) ranking, guess what?

You'll be able to 'Piggy Back' off there PR giving your website a PR boost because at end of every article you produce your able to leave your 'Resource Box' with all your websites info and most important of all, your URL.

Reason #5. They're VIRAL.

This is yet another great reason to start using articles as one of your online marketing strategies simple because your going to offer 'Reprint Rights' with all articles you produce giving Website and Newsletter owners permission to publish them causing a VIRAL explosion and Traffic surge to your website.
