Ever since the advent of the World Wide Web, distribution of articles has become one of the major methods of promoting for businesses of any level, responsible for up to and including ninety five percent of an online business's income and achievement. Article distribution refers to a method of advertising that is as outdated as printed mass media alone.
Rather than a direct, concise advertisement, article distribution disseminates information of a product or service through articles written about a subject that is tangential to them, with referrals attached pointing toward the company or business through which one can acquire those products and services. So for example, an article written for a company advertising wigs might be about male pattern baldness or alopecia, then referring the reader to that company to possibly purchase a wig.
The idea is that rather than grabbing a reader's interest with garish adverts, articles containing facts that is pertinent and enlightening to intended consumers will better draw their consideration. The distribution in article distribution refers to the practice of articles being hosted in places where consumers are very likely to actively seek them out, rather than ads aimed at as many passersby as possible in hopes of catching those of concern. This is one way articles for marketing works.
Having then read the articles, consumers then follow the referrals connected, resulting in new customers and elevated sales. Though at first glance it seems like a fully written and researched article might not be a clever use of time and attempt for marketing, the very rewarding nature of article distribution is a outcome of the relationship between the article writers, and their publishers.
In print form, article distribution was handled between a company and a publisher of printed media, typically magazines or news papers, but also leaflets and pamphlets. Company marketers are delighted to provide articles relating to their products, which constitute content for publishers who are happy to provide content to their publications. Articles are usually accepted without a fee in exchange for the company's right to provide references. For publishers, this free content brings about a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties.
On the internet, the specifics are diverse but the rules behind article distribution are mainly unchanged. Publishers, in this case often of websites or blogs, are again happy to accept free content for their publications with the stipulation that the article writers be allowed to refer back to their own company. Even so, the internet enables article distributers to take things a step further. Since web space is inexpensive, or even free of cost entirely, articles can be distributed on a much, much larger scale. Many companies even have their particular websites and blogs on which to sponsor their own articles, meaning that instead of one article appearing in a place with high readership, dozens of articles or even the same article can appear throughout the web.
