Writing articles is one of the simplest ways to demonstrate your expertise while simultaneously increase traffic to your website.

And if your articles are distributed via the proper channels and subsequently spidered by the major search engines, your website's link popularity will steadily increase over time for added and long-term exposure!

To help you get started, here are 10 proven ways to share your knowledge, distribute your articles and expose your business for free:

1. Submit them to e-zines and web sites for publishing. Include your resource box at the end of the article to get free advertising.

2. Combine your articles into a free e-book. You can place your business ad in the e-book. Give it away to visitors and allow them to do the same to multiply your advertising.
