I'm sure you've read over and over again that writing articles is an excellent way to get links back to your sites.  In fact, you've probably read it so much that you're sick of seeing it.

Are you doing it?

How many articles have you written and submitted today?  This week?  This month?

If you're even a decent writer, you should be cranking out articles as fast as you can.  Make them well written, non-promotional, and interesting.  That's all you need to know...a few strategic links in your signature will take care of the rest.  If you're a good writer, your articles will stand head and shoulders above most of the junk articles floating around -- making this strategy even more powerful.

When you write an article, make sure to add it to YOUR OWN article submission site a week or so before you submit to all the others out there.  The search engines will see the fresh content on YOUR site first, and rank it higher than they will after they see the same article over and over again on other sites.  This is very important -- if you don't have your own article submission site right now, build one right away!
