			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-554" title="my-gift-free-article-blog" src="http://gainfullyunemployed.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/my-gift-free-article-blog.jpg" alt="my-gift-free-article-blog" width="200" height="200" /><strong>I realized this morning that I really haven&#8217;t been doing enough for my readers.</strong> So I figured I would do something for someone for free today and if it becomes something interesting, maybe it will become a weekly thing.</p>
<p><strong>I recently wrote a post about promoting your website by publishing articles in article directories.</strong> It is a really good way to drive direct (&#8220;clicky&#8221;) traffic to your website.  What I mean by &#8220;clicky&#8221; is that these people are looking for information, and if you write the article with the right keywords and in the right way, you can get some seriously qualified traffic that&#8217;s ready to take action when they get to your site.</p>
<p><strong><a title="Article Directories Promote Blogs" href="http://gainfullyunemployed.net/2009/09/29/increase-blog-traffic-article-directories/">Article directories</a> (at least the good ones) have high rankings in search engine</strong>s because they are moderated by human beings and have certain standards for publication.  This makes the content and the sites as a whole more valuable and relevant.  So even if you blog doesn&#8217;t rank high for a term, you may still be able to publish at a highly ranked article directory and leverage that into some direct traffic to your blog.</p>
<p><strong>I want to write a 400 to 500 word article that I will publish in my account at <a title="Ezine Articles" href="http://ezinearticles.com">ezinearticles.com</a> for someone.</strong> I will include links to your main domain page and one other article you want to build a link to.  I will research the right keywords and see if I can drive some decent long-term traffic for you.</p>
<blockquote><p>Sign up to get a free, keyword-rich, SEO article from me for FREE by re-tweeting this post using the green button at the top right of this post.  That&#8217;s it!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>I will choose one person one week from writing this post and will publish your article shortly after.</strong> I will also choose a runner-up and do something cool for them as well.  I&#8217;m interested to see how this works.  Thanks in advance and I hope you win!</p>
<p>PS.  Even if you don&#8217;t use the green &#8220;retweet&#8221; button in this post, make sure to &#8220;mention&#8221; my name @Chris_McCarthy along with the title of this article so I can find your tweet.</p>
