Success Story: Three and a half years ago, my Web presence went from -0- to being listed on over 3400 other web sites with my URL listed--all from submitting articles. My site is still listed number one, and my ezine subscribers have gone from 100 to over 3500. Each time I submit an article to spam-free ezines, my ezine subscribers increase 10-25 each day. Web sales also increased from $75 a month to over $4500 a month in 2004.
Online promotion pays more than any other optimization technique, and it's totally free.
