Owning and maintaining an internet business requires that you have fresh content articles on a regular basis -- preferably daily. Articles quench the thirst for information and knowledge that lures your prospects to your site.

But what are you going to do if you can't or don't want to write?

To begin, if you don't want to hire someone to do it for you, you can obtain free articles online. Public domain articles are available for anyone to use. And, you don't need to worry about copyright issues with public domain articles.

Public domain articles have expired copyrights. In other words, when a work is copyrighted, that copyright has an expiration date. Copyrights can be extended but when the author dies, sometimes they don't get extended and actually expire. When that happens, they end up in the public domain. So, these are writings that were once published. And, in that light, the writing should be very good.

Because public domain articles are available to anyone, your competition may also be using them. This can be verified easily with a search engine. Make sure the articles you choose pertain to your website topic. You'll likely need to edit them a bit in order to place your keywords in the right places.

One of the best ways to get fresh content is to allow other websites with a similar niche to submit articles that you post on your site. It's a common blogging tactic to create "utility posts" which consist of an intro to a post in another blog with a link to it from your blog. Bloggers are simply using good fresh content from other blogs to fulfill their content needs.

Now, you might be thinking -- woah, wait a minute, I don't want to put links to other websites on my site! Well, that's a little behind the times. That's exactly what Web 2.0 is all about! Google knows this and is now displaying pages based a great deal on their popularity and link status. Google uses other parts of the website for rankings as well, but remember that social populariaty is of UTMOST importance!

So, begin to share as many links as you can and don't think you need to keep all those links to yourself.

But, here's the gold nugget in all of this and why I'm writing to you today. There are also a lot of article sharing services popping up online. I recently joined one and not only do they send my "unique" articles to about 700 sites each time I submit one, but I also subscribe to the service and get as many unique articles each day as I need. And, you don't have to write articles if you only want to receive articles.

This service is not costly but is well worth the minor fee I pay monthly. As a result, I'm seeing my links increase in Google daily. It's the best method I know of to help us all trade links and acquire unique articles. I have no problem posting regularly to all of my sites now. It's up to me to choose what categories of articles I receive, how many are sent each day and whether or not to publish on my website. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to write good articles! If it's crap, I don't post it.

One more thing you should know -- There are now many websites that offer Private Label Rights Articles that you can publish on your site. Many of them are free to join. Private label rights allow you to take credit for writing the articles. If you want, you can even rewrite all or part of them. In fact, that's how I wrote this article. I'm pretty good at writing, but sometimes the ideas don't come as quickly as I'd like. So, when I begin with a PLR work, the ideas start churning out and there's no need to create all of the content myself. Although most of the time you would not recognize the original as the starting content, when I'm done!
