So, when posting in the Paid to Write sites, have you guys found it effective as marketing for your website/blog etc? I've found a few articles where people write a half-decent article and then link to their website...does that in turn get you a lot of leads or not really? What is your experience with this?
(ps if you're interested in writing online there are some paid-to-write sites on my profile website....)

I write mostly for Associated Content, which is one of your listings. I love the exposure I get from AC. They are the best. I also have written one article for Helium, (also on your list). I haven't gotten any exposure there, becuase I haven't really tried to be active on the site. I much prefer AC, although I will be writing more for Helium this year, in an effort to broaden my readership base. I think writing for these sites can be an effective marketing tool for your blog or website, especially if that site is related to writing.

Hmmm, thanks for the response man. I consider myself a bit of an expert on swimming and a lot of those sites really don't have anything crazy on them. I was thinking of finding some affiliate things for swimming and pointing all my articles to that site/blog...could be worth it in the end if people actually read what i say and take something from it...

It could be very productive for you, if you take that angle of marketing. I think you could produce your articles on a miniture scale and link them back to you website or blog which has a more detailed explanation or article within. I'd take a look. BTW, what is your name on AC...I'll look you up and read and rate some of your articles, and if I like what I read (I'm sure I will), I'll subscribe to your content so I won't miss any future articles. My name on AC is Cindi Starr and I'd love it if you'd do the same for me.

To date I am just a writer, however, I may begin linking back to my own blog (which I am just starting), especially with my poetry pieces. What is your name on AC? Is it the same as your screen name here. I would look you up as well. Page views never hurt, lol.
