Creating a Website Explosion

By the time you’ve finished reading this article, you’ll be part of a real-time experiment by becoming my oxygen. Let me explain …One of the easiest ways to promote your website and your business is article writing. There’s no better way to show off your expertise than to write an article about what you know and publicize it.

Articles can help your website explode with popularity. One of the keys to ranking well in search engines is getting other websites to link to yours. By writing an article about your area of expertise – whether that’s fishing, rocket science, or anything in between – other websites will link to you, raising your popularity.

Will other websites actually link to your article? Yes. I’ll prove it.

I’m writing this article on July 27, 2006. It’s an original work and this date is important because it’s the beginning of this live website popularity experiment. This article is an ingredient in a chain reaction. It will end up blazing a trail across the internet. It won’t cost anything and it will raise my website’s popularity for months.

In a few moments, I’ll show you how to measure the results of this experiment yourself.

First, let’s think in terms of a fire - there are three ingredients: fuel, oxygen, and heat. We’ll apply those three to creating a fiery website explosion.

Fuel: Your fuel for creating a website explosion is an article. For instance, this article is what’s going to catch flame and spread. Without fuel, nothing happens.

Oxygen: Your oxygen source is the internet itself – it’s the audience that will be interested in what you say. That source is what will help this article stay lit and continue to spread. Much like an actual fire, oxygen keeps everything going.

Heat: Ignite your articles with a little bit of online promotion. As with a real flame, it doesn’t take much to get started. Even a little promotion can go a long way.

Subtract any single ingredient, and nothing will work. You can’t promote an article that doesn’t exist, nor can you promote something without an audience. If you have an article and an audience, but you don’t promote it? Nothing.

So you write an article and you’ve got an audience, now it’s time for promotion. If your article is well written and available in online article directories, you’ll get picked up by other websites and the chain reaction will begin. After all, you’ll have the fuel, the oxygen, and the heat to get things started.

Now let’s measure the success of this experiment! Go to Google (www.google.com) and in the search box, type in the title of this article (including the quotes): “Creating a Website Explosion”The results will show every website that has published the article you’ve just read. As I’m writing this right now, that result is zero. As soon as I type the last word, I’ll start generating the heat. As you check out how far my explosion has reached, think about what you can do to ignite your own!
