Articles – A Great Way To Build A Content Site

A great source of quality content, fast

You can build tightly focused content by including appropriate articles on your site

You can find appropriate articles on the many article directory sites on the Internet. This can be a great way to find niche articles, but the downside is that the content you find is likely to also feature on many other sites on the web. This can result in pages being ‘penalized’ by search engines for being ‘duplicate content’. Also, for copyright reasons, it is not usually possible to edit the articles you find in article directories and in most cases you will be required to include a resource box that gives credit to the author of the article and usually a link to one of their sites.

A great alternative to article directories are ‘article membership sites’. Although this is not a free resource, like those above, it does offer several big advantages. Firstly, it means that the number of people who have access to the articles is restricted so you can be quite sure that the article won’t be appearing on thousands of sites all over the Internet (so your pages are less likely to be penalized by search engines for duplicate content).

Secondly, most membership sites that offer articles give you the rights to edit the articles as much as you like. This means that you can take the basic article and change it to suit your own needs. Not only does this mean the content becomes your own unique content it also means that you can optimize the article for your chosen keywords.

Lastly, having access to articles you can customize for your own use will help to get you over that initial writer’s block. To write an article from scratch can take anything from 30 minutes to a few hours, but if you are customizing an existing article it will take a fraction of the time, often as little as five minutes.

Another option for generating article content is to pay someone to write it for you. You might be thinking “that’s too expensive, surely…” but you’d be amazed at how easy it is to find really cost-effective writers online who will often write copy for incredibly low fees. Again, an advantage of this type of content is that it takes you no time to write, can be keyword rich, and is truly unique to your site.
