Niche Article Site: Is One For You?

One of the fastest growing markets in the article writing field is owning your own niche article site. With literally thousands of authors publishing their articles on the web daily, they are always looking for new niche sites to host there topical articles.

One of the primary reasons for article publishing today is for one-way back links to your web site. You get to control the associated content and anchor text within the article to reflect the content of your site. Search engines view the anchor text and the context that it is being used with to help in determining the how much weight will be added to its page rank equation. Search engines love content and context; if you have a web site about dogs, then you are going to want to have articles about dogs pointing back to your site.

What better way is there for getting great contextual back links than having your breast cancer article published on an article site that specializes in articles about cancer treatment?

Even better, why not facilitate this by operating your own niche article site. You get to publish your own articles to it, others will publish their niche articles to it and still others will grab free fresh content off of your site. Requiring the use of an author resource box with your article site anchor text link will increase the page rank of your article site and hence the weight of the back links to your web site.

Another great reason for operating your own niche article site is revenue. Google Adsense, YPN, as well as other advertising options is available to you. Your niche article site, having highly targeted, keyword specific niche articles, can work perfectly for targeting high paying adsense and yahoo ads. With the rapid increase in your page rank through author box back links, directory submissions and your own article writing campaign, you can start charging for lucrative back links or banner ads showing on your popular home page.

Perhaps the best thing about this is that you have two FREE options for article management systems: ArticleMS (www.articletrader.com/articlems/) and ArticleDashboard (www.articledashboard.com). All you need to do is create a catchy domain name, install the script (in my opinion ArticleMS is far easier to configure and manage), market yourself and away you go.
