Search engine optimization is a huge challenge to many a webmaster. Especially low cost or free SEO programs that they often tend to carry out on their own.

Probably the most popular SEO method used by majority of webmasters is that of reciprocal linking. Little wonder that reciprocal linking software ha taken off in a big way in recent times.

Yet there is a much more powerful SEO tool available to any webmaster or blog owner. And that is a free article posted at leading article directories and popular article sites. Not very much is known about this strategy as an SEO tool. Therefore a lot of experience webmasters may be surprised that any body can consider using articles as their own SEO tool.

Actually there are two distinct and colossal advantages that Articles have going for them as potential SEO tools. The first is the sheer effectiveness of articles as a SEO tool and secondly is that rapidly multiplying the number of links that you have out there pointing to your site requires very little or no additional work from the webmaster or blog owner.

Let us start by examining the effectiveness of articles in driving targeted traffic to a site. There is little doubt that well written articles posted at a couple of good article directories and high traffic sites are much more effective in generating traffic for a site, quickly than reciprocal links tend to be. One of the reasons is that an article will tend to give much more detail than the short paragraph complete with text links that a reciprocal link will usually give about the site that it is pointing to.

Links in free articles submitted to other high traffic sites tends to have a much higher potential for rapid multiplication than just reciprocal links do. The reason is in the fact that the rule is that anybody who likes your article is free to re-post it at his or her site. The strict condition is that they ensure that they leave the article intact complete with your links pointing to your site or sites. So in actual fact, you can start off with a few articles containing a handful of links but with a very short period of time end up with dozens and even hundreds of links as a result of this marvelous viral effect.

This is what makes it very viable for any webmaster to use articles as their only SEO tool. And in fact an increasing number of webmasters are doing just that.
