Free & Public articles, save the time of writing your own ones!

We all know that even the most productive writers can write perhaps couple articles per day, right? You know the ache & pain to get creative and get more articles written to have fresh content?

Well, there is some 'bandaid' available!
There is websites dedicated to free content, and here is couple ones:
GoArticles
eZineArticles

Now, they are very wide spread articles, well some of them, and there lies the risk also: for example it's rumoured that google punishes for content which is duplicate of someone else's content, not good, right?

If you use content like that ALONE, and no unique content it would be bad, but if only part of it is the same, so what? Google as far as i know doesn't punish for RSS feeds either, so it should not punish for those neither!
Just remember it's only a rumour that it punishes, and we see many of sites using this kind of content doing really well, that particular site is a bit that way too, it's not directly a free content & articles place, but in truth it is. and they do well :)

Another good thing about this is that you can write your own articles, and submit them to those websites and others will use your article(s)! Talking about tons of inbound links!

Yet another good thing for browsing around them is that it will actualyl give you lots of ideas, and you might come up with an nice article idea too :)

When you use, just remember to add the biography box, or some people will be really angry to you! I know i would!
I google now and then to see if my articles has spread, and it's nice to see my article being used here and there :)
Lately i wrote an article which i added to GoArticles and it were for sometime 2nd most popular in hosting category, wohoo! ^^
After a few days, i found already 4 or 5 websites having that article and featuring it off, i got a nice feeling about :)

Also, when you use these articles, remember to qualify them well! Don't add just anything, but actually go thru the articles, read them thoroughly, and only pick the best ones, don't flood your visitors for underqualifying articles.

RSS or Really Simple Syndication

this time it's ALL about RSS & Blogs!
RSS is very good for "pinging" other places that your site has new content, and bringin in new visitors for basicly free :)
Who wouldn't love free visitors?

Anyways, see for example RSS feed of Life of a webhost blog at http://life-of-a-webhost.blogspot.com/atom.xml, people can use that to syndicate new content there :)

Now grab yourself syndication of this blog also! it's named like the another one: atom.xml, and you can easily use it at your own webmaster related website to give your users more content, fresh & informative :)

Most CMS's, well anyways all the good ones and worth your while, has built in features for showing RSS feeds and giving other's your RSS feed.

Also, google for RSS feed announcer sites, which collects & categorizes RSS feeds from all around the web, yet another easy way to give your visitors more content, or find something which intrests you :)

Now, why it would be good to give other's traffic? Well, you know partially why blogs do so amazingly well? because they are generous linkers! and it REALLY pays off by bringing you MORE traffic! Some webmasters see your blog in their referrerring sites list, they might just add you a link just to appreciate the traffic you are sending to them, and on other perspective, visitors come back to your blog because they know they find quality content & fresh links to more quality content, well not daily, but as often as your blog is updated!

Now turn your website a little bit to that fashion and get more visitors! :)
