Why Write Articles?

If you're serious about driving traffic to your site "on a budget", writing articles is a free, cost effective, and perfect way to drive 100s, even 1000s of visitors to your site, every single day for years to come! You can't beat that with a stick!

In exchange for allowing Green Thumb Articles™ to publish your content for free, you are allowed to write one small advertisement at the end of each and every article that you write free of charge. These advertisements are placed immediately below the article and are called "Resource Boxes" or "ByLines".

Here's a typical Resource Box example:

Author Resource: Bridget runs an Article Directory offering Website Administrators Free means to drive traffic to their sites. If you're serious about website traffic, visit http://GreenThumbArticles.com and learn about the Benefits of Writing Articles to drive 100s, even 1000s of Visitors to your site each day for free by writing articles.

As you can see a typical Author Resource Box contains some information about yourself, the benefits of your site, business, product(s) and/or services, and 1 or 2 free links pointing to your site and/or pages of your site.

How Can Writing Articles Drive So Much Traffic to My Site?

A very good question and a very simple answer. Although, in order to understand how an Article is going to convert into more visitors to your site, you first need to understand the difference between Authors & Publishers.

An Author is someone who writes original articles or content.
A Publisher is someone looking for original articles or content that he/she may publish in an ezine or on a webpage. And, what makes Green Thumb Articles™ unique is that we cater to publishers looking for gardening articles! So, if gardening is your business, hobby and/or passion, Green Thumb Articles™ is the place for you!

The uniqueness of your content will determine how many Publishers may choose to publish your article on their websites, which will increase the number of links to your site (from your article "resource box"). All Publishers must agree to follow our Terms Of Service for Publishers. As a result, all publishers must included the Resource Box with all of your hyperlinks intact when publishing any article. You, in turn, will get visitors coming from the many Publishers' websites and/or ezines for free AND your site will get a better ranking in the SERPS thanks to the many links pointing to your site. Many people pay hundreds and thousands of advertising dollars for these same results. Writing articles sends free traffic to your site!

Example:

If 10 Publishers choose to publish your article on their site because of its original and unique content, you'll get 10 inbound links pointing to your site! Well actually 11; 1 from Green Thumb Articles™ and 10 from 10 different Publisher sites. Say these publishers get 100s of visitors everyday to their site, reading your article and clicking on your link. This is just with 1 article. Imagine if you wrote 1 article every day!

Result: Both parties are satisfied!

- Publishers find great, original, non-duplicate, useful & new content for their readers to read.
- Authors get multiple free inbound links pointing to their website(s), per article they write. If you write several articles a week, you can significantly multiply your traffic for every page of your website by writing an article about the subject of each page.

Is there a catch?

Well, actually there is a catch. The better your articles are, the more they will be published on the web and the more you will increase your traffic. Your only cost for writing an effective article is the effort you put into writing your articles to ensure publisher usage.

You decide if that's a catch or not.

Keep in mind,

there are many valuable tips that set successful authors apart from unsuccessful authors. Knowing or not knowing these tips can determine the effectiveness of the article.
