In September of 2009, I created some DotNetNuke websites and started posting articles.

Go to these three websites. Next to each article is the number of visitors.
- www.DotNetNuke.bz
- www.InternetHandholding.com
- www.Programmer.bz

The articles are in order of newest first. Notice as the articles age, they get increasingly more visitors.

I have done nothing to promote these articles. Only post them on my website. DotNetNuke automatically pings Weblogs.com when the article is posted.

You can see the newest articles have around 30 or 40 visits. Older articles typically have 100 to 300 visitors, with one article over 1,000 visitors.

These are the number of visitors per article, not per website.

The number of visitors tells some interesting tales, like what people are searching for the most and which articles are the highest ranked.

www.InternetHandholding.com has about 80 articles in eight months, which is a little less than two articles per week. You can write an article in as little as fifteen minutes, though I usually take longer. Still, in only an hour so a week, you can build up a nice accumulation of articles that work to market your website without additional effort from you.

I have not done this yet, but you can give your articles a boost by submitting them to article directories. You can find a bunch of article directories here.

Follow my planned upcoming article series on marketing an Ebook to see the effectiveness of article directories.

You have specialized knowledge that can help or entertain others. Take an hour out of your week to share your thoughts and help yourself and others.
