What you have here is called Viral Marketing because what your doing is writing fresh syndicated articles which you can use on your own website or for your newsletter to increase return visits. Then you take these same articles and grant permission for other websites, newsletter and e-zine publishers to use your articles in their publications.
This produces lots of links back to your web page and also an opportunity to attract people who are looking for what you have to offer.

A Few Tips For Writing Articles:
Don't count on people reading your entire article word for word. Most people scan through an article trying to pick up the information they're looking for. Therefore use....
highlighted keywords (hypertext links serve as one form of highlighting; typeface variations and color are others)
meaningful subheadings (not "clever" ones)
bulleted lists
one idea per paragraph (users will skip over any additional ideas if they are not caught by the first few words in the paragraph)
the inverted pyramid style, starting with the conclusion
half the word count (or less) than conventional writing
use outbound hypertext links it increases credibility
don't be a boaster claiming to have the "the best ever"
