When it comes to the Web, content is king. Nobody is coming to your page to look at links and banner ads. Viewers can pretty quickly determine if a site contains what they are looking for: useful information.
It doesn't matter if your site is about making money, dating, bird watching, girl watching or the life cycle of the arctic toad, the product is the same information. Knowing that, you might think "Well gee, I don't know anything about body building, so I guess I can't start Get Buff.com." Or, maybe you're thinking, "I know everything there is to know about getting a body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, but writing isn't by strong suit, and I can't afford to pay a writer to fill Get Buff.com with articles."
Well thanks to the information superhighway you can build a website on any subject and experts will write free content for you.
Think of the opportunities this opens up. Without the need for expertise, writing skill or the time to write, you can build dozens of sites on just about anything.
Article directories make this all possible. These sites are depositories of articles written by experts in their field that are free for webmasters to use. Now you are probably asking yourself 'why would anyone write articles for free?' Simple, publicity and backlinks to their own webpage.
The deal is you can use their articles for free, but you must include the author and resource box listed at the bottom of the articles, including links.
I hate cliches, but this is a win-win arrangement. You get fresh, free authoritative content and the authors get more exposure. Think about this: say I'm a relationship expert with a website. Now I could write an article on say, oh, 'The Top Ten Reasons Men Cheat.' If I publish it on my site my regular visitors will read it and hopefully it will pick up some search engine traffic.
But what if I put the same article on a free directory and a 1000 webmasters post it on their web pages? Every time one of their visitors reads it and gets down to the end where there is a link back to my site, I have a potential new viewer.
