I Hate Writing Articles - There Must Be A Better Way?! - Articles Surfing

If you own, run or maintain an Internet business, you probably need articles to provide you with content for your website. Users are always looking for information and if your site can provide that information, you'll drive more traffic to your site, boosting business for you.

Articles provide many benefits, but perhaps the most important thing they do is to place your site high in page rankings for search engines. This happens because your articles have keywords in them that are relevant to your site. Therefore, when someone does a search for the information they're looking for, your site is more likely to come up if you use relevant keywords.

In addition, articles are a way to link your site to another site or newsletter. Visitors appreciate quality content, and if you have it, you are much more likely to be asked to link your site to many other sites, increasing your exposure. This also increases confidence and trust levels in your company and web site, which drives more customers and traffic to you.

If your site has quality articles, it's also likely to get more exposure because visitors to your site will tell their friends and family to visit your site for the information you provide. This drives more traffic to your site and in addition, provides you bigger sales of whatever product you're selling because those who visit your site trust and believe in you. Your products and services will also be much easier to sell when customers know that you are experienced with your particular area of expertise and know what you're talking about.

In short, articles are very important to your site and to your business. You need them to keep ahead of the game and in addition, you need to keep providing new ones. One dilemma, though, is that many people don't like writing articles.

Most web site owners would rather spend their time on their business. Unless your company is large, you probably don't have the necessary resources to have a pool of writers specific to your company. In addition, plagiarizing or copying other articles is frowned upon as well. Also, this is illegal, and it can definitely get you into trouble. At the very least, it puts you in a bad light and will make your customers question your honesty if they find that plagiarism existing on your site.

Therefore, what are your other options? You might not know that you can actually get free articles. These articles exist in the public domain and here, articles are available without fear of breaking copyright law.

Public domain articles are given freely to the public for their use. You can do whatever you want with them. You can place them on your site without giving credit to the original author or authors, and although it makes you look very professional (and, in fact, is probably the most ethical thing to do) to name the original author rather than taking credit for it yourself, you don't have to. Keep in mind, though, that you'll need to choose articles that are very relevant to your site and therefore, many articles in the public domain may not be appropriate; many articles in the public domain have had their copyright lapse, meaning that they were written long before the Internet even existed. Therefore, you have to be careful that whatever free articles you choose pertain specifically to your site.

Of course, with public domain articles, your competitors will have access to those articles as well. Therefore, readers will probably instantly know that these articles are not yours, since they've seen them in various other places. In this case, simply rewriting them to make them original is a little bit easier than developing an article from scratch, but still provides you with original content.

Another bonus of rewriting articles is that you can make sure you optimize them for keywords particular to your site, which the original article or articles probably will not have.

In short, even with public domain articles, rewriting them to make them original is the best way to go. It also is a good idea to write your own original content. If you truly cannot write for yourself, you can hire a freelance writer or writers to do that for you for relatively little expense. The investment you make in these articles is worthwhile because you hold copyrights to them and can use them in any way you wish. You'll also be able to optimize them for keywords right from the start. Simply put, if articles build your business, you'll likely not find them as distasteful to write as you might have at the beginning, before they drew traffic your site and therefore made your business more successful because of them.
