Writing is the best way of getting your website ranked in the search engines. Search engines, and indeed web visitors like content and lots of it. By incorporating a blog and lots of articles in your website you are well on the way to helping your site rankings.

Another way that you can use writing and articles you have created to help your search engine rankings is to submit them to an article directory. One of the best ones to use is article dashboard and this contains thousands of articles on just about any subject you can imagine. The idea is that you submit your article and include a link back to your website in the footer of the article. Website owners can then pick up these articles for inclusion on their websites which results in giving your site multiple back links.

For example I might write an article about marketing in Ireland and post it to my blog, and then modify it and submit it to an article site. This kills two birds with one stone, it gives you new blog content which helps your ‘on site criteria’ i.e. inclusion of relevant content on your website and plenty of off site linking content both of which will help your sites search engine rankings, particularly if you include search terms and keywords in the title and body of your articles.
