I have been writing articles for eighteen months and I must say that I aim to continue writing more articles as a way of promoting my own websites for many more years to come. This is because it has done wonders for my own sites and also because it is a form of free web marketing. I would strongly advise any person who is looking to gain more traffic to their sites to commence writing articles asap. As a rule I attempt or have a goal to write an average of one article per day. On certain days when I have more time or when I am in the mood for it, I write a lot more than just one, my record thus far has been seven in one day.

In every day life I am involved with various projects including providing an stuttering therapy course and working for a clairvoyant readings company.

I would have to say that without a shadow of a doubt that Ezinearticles is the best article marketing directory on the net. It is important to be clear about their guidelines when submitting to this site as they do not accept any old rubbish, which of course has to be a good thing.

I also submit to articlealley, articledashboard, goarticles and ideamarketers.

Searchwarp used to be a favourite of mine however no longer appears in the top five.

Buzzle is another article directory that I have heard is particularly good. I have yet to submit to this site but am likely to in the near future.

I am a businessman from the UK who has various websites to promote the services that I provide. I am involved in providing Vodafone Voucher Codes as well as with a company that sell affordable front doors. I have always been interested in trying to gain as many visitors to the websites as possible, through ethical means. I started off by entrusting so called SEO experts with the job of promoting the site as I had little knowledge of the industry. The band SEO expert or web promotion expert is often used by many people who are basically scam artists as I have now found to my cost. As it turned out neither were they, despite their claims of being an SEO expert.

After some particularly bad experiences with these so called experts of the SEO industry and after wasting a great deal of money I decided to attempt to educate myself on the art of web promotion. This was about seven years ago and one of the first things I was to learn was about the power of article marketing. I started to write articles and was astonished with the results, I was gaining additional traffic that were coming directly from the articles and the websites were also obtaining higher search engine rankings.

Article marketing has stood the test of time and is still as beneficial today as it was seven years ago. Article marketing is a free form of web promotion which is a major benefit to the small businessman!

I aim to write an average of one article per day and have managed to do this for the last two and a half years, the results speak for themselves.

I am working for eight companies and it is the year 2000. They have contracted me to promote their websites with the view of gaining a higher search engine ranking position and to increase their overall profits.

I have learnt rather a lot about SEO and website promotion up to this point mainly from reading the views of the established specialists from the industry.

I would usually work between 11pm and 3am is this is when my concentration seemed to be at its best.

This would be my typical day:

7am – This is the time that I would normally wake up; I would clean my teeth and go to the toliet before going back to bed.

10am – It is now time to start my day, out comes the laptop and we are in business. At this stage I am merely going to check my e-mail; the news, the stock market and read through a couple of sites that I like to keep an eye on such as seroundtable.

10.20am – I phone the DVD replication company to check if the discs that I have ordered about stammering therapy are ready.

10.10.30am – It is now time for my breakfast – a nice piece of toast. It is time for a relax after all it has been a hectic morning!

1pm – I walk to the shops; firstly for some much needed exercise and secondly to buy a newspaper.

2pm – I drive to the tennis club as I have arranged to play a game with a good friend of mine.

6pm – I cook myself a quick meal before watching some more television.

8pm- I quickly check my e-mails in a short break from watching the t.v. I speak to a good friend of mine on the telephone who is arranging a service for me where by I will be able to make cheap calls.

11pm – It is time to get to work – to obtain those all important backward links and to ensure that the clients websites are still positioned/ranked within the top ten of Google for their main keywords.

3.00am – I am now off to bed.

Being in this industry as a self-employed website marketer enables one to choose the amount of hours they work and to choose when they work. There is no set routine as in your average nine to five occupation and as such one can avoid having to drive in those miserable and frustrating rush hours. This is one of the reasons why I love to be able to provide web promotion tips and advice to various webmasters.

I for one would choose to work late at night as this is when I could concentrate the most and when I could get enough peace. There would be very little, if anything to distract me, such as people telephoning me, or people calling round etc. I could therefore fully focus on the job in hand which was to work hard to obtain top ten rankings in Google for my clients websites.

As such my main working day would commence at around 10.30pm and would continue until at least 2.30am. I thoroughly enjoy working in this way and in this profession, it suits me.

My day would start at about half past seven when I would awake, clean my teeth and go to the toilet. I would however then return to bed until around eleven o’clock to gain a few more hours valuable sleep.

It may seem rather sad but I would have a quick read of my e-mails before eating a bowl of cerial for my breakfast. It would then be a short stroll to the shops to purchase a newspaper before returning home.

After spending an hour on the phone to update various clients on their current search engine rankings I would then take a drive to the golf club.

At six o’clock I would cook my evening meal prior to watching some evening television.

10.30pm – time to start promoting the websites.

I am now a fully fledged member of the parenting club and life is rather more hectic these days – but I have to say is even better than before, if that is possible.

I am now involved in various projects including offering people stuttering courses as well as providing company’s with cost reduction specialists; something which is much sought after in a recession.

Life as a person who offers a web promotion service was, at the time, a very enjoyable one and I would certainly recommend other people to enter into this profession.
