See all domains for sale.

By Hege Crowton

If you have a domain registration business, one way to gain the trust of prospective customers is to write targeted articles and submit them to directories.

Webmasters are scouring the net everyday for articles in their niche. They use them to post on their site, in their blogs and to send out to their email lists. At the bottom of your article you can put a resource box, that lists your credentials and one or two links back to your website. Publishing articles can benefit your web business in many ways.

Writing informative articles on niche topics will establish you as an expert. When you brainstorm topics for your article be sure you write an informative piece of interest - not just a sales pitch. For example, you could write an article on the benefits of buying .com domains over other domains or maybe do a write up about DNS and how it works. You want something that will grab the readers attention and compel them to click through to your site.

Another benefit has to do with linking. When you publish articles, no reciprocal link is required so you are getting one way links. One way links are valued much more highly by the search engines as they are not as easy to obtain as one way links. This value will increase even more in the future as the SE's try to do repress sites that use link farms and other such strategies.

The links from articles will grow over time as more and more webmasters publish it on their site. Of course, you want to get the most mileage out of each article you write so you want to make sure you submit the article to directories and other web sites where your article will be read and published by webmasters who have a need for content in the domain related niche.

There are many huge article directories with all kinds of topics and you should submit to those, but you should also submit to targeted niche directories such as DomainsContent.com where your article will be read by thousands of webmasters who want to add it to their sites!

Of course the main reason for writing the articles is to get traffic and that you will. Your article could be viewed by hundreds on another persons site or from their emailed newsletter, and they like what it has to say, they may just click through to your site. Believe me, I get plenty of traffic from the articles I write and that traffic can translate into more sales.

Here's some tips on writing a great article that will help boost your domain business:

1. Give people what they want. You can get a lot of ideas about what to write about from the emails that people send you through your site - do they ask about domain privacy and hiding their ownership information? Then an article about this might be just the thing. Another thing you can do is put up a poll on your site and ask the users directly what they want to learn more about.

2. Use an attention grabbing headline. Get them to read the article with an interesting title, something like "How To Pick The Best Domain Name For Your Business" could compel anyone to click and read.

3. Write like you are having a conversation with the reader. Don't just spill out a bunch of boring facts, write like you talk. Go back through and read and edit. Use lots of paragraph breaks in your writing. Don't fit all the sentences into one or two paragraphs - break them up and even separate single sentences that are important. Readers like to skim so make it easy on their eyes. Don't make it too long or too short either about 300 to 600 words is good.

4. Organize our thoughts first. A lot of people get writers block when they sit down to start writing - sometimes just jotting down ideas in an outline form can help.

So what are you waiting for? Get writing and watch your business explode!
