(Seo web design) Why Use Article Directories
No commentsBy Monika Nolte
By using articles to increase website traffic flow, get free, high quality content for your site, reach your target audience at zero cost, get well written articles, have a place to submit your well written articles, gain creditability by sharing your expertise through your articles with all those interested people out there, get links from the articles to your website, and get exposure for you and the information you want to share, etc.
Everyone who has a website can benefit by the ‘noise’ articles can make. They create attention because articles with new content, crammed with relevant keywords, updated on a regular basis are quickly indexed by Google.
Article directories like this one are constantly crawled by search engines ’spiders’. Article directories are a great way of getting quality anchor text back links and a boost in traffic to your site. The About the Author section at the foot of the article is where you can put one or two links to your website and social networking sites.
Downloading from, or submitting their own articles to article directories is a great way for online businesses to get free marketing. They are welcome to republish articles as long as the links are kept intact. And, because articles are distributed by articles directories to other article directories, your credits will appear regardless of which directory your article is on giving you that many more back links. Back links should, of course, be keyword optimised. Be sure you keep to the writing standards and no keyword stuffing!
Additionally, a characteristic search engines look for is that back links are gained slowly and not explosively. This way, in a very short time, your site can become an authority site and organic listings develop.
For those business owners, or someone on their staff, who enjoy writing article writing can be an excellent way to market services or products with almost no capital outlay. While articles are written to gain quality back links, don’t forget content is king and articles have to be well written as well as be of value to the reader. Always use your spell checker.
Submitting well-written and keyword-rich articles to article directories is great way to promote your business. You also get other benefits from article marketing, like establishing yourself as an expert in your field, helping to build your websites branding and building a following among online users, particularly when shared on the 20 or so most popular social bookmarking sites.
Think of getting one of your articles syndicated on a dozen article directories, all of which receive 5000-10,000 daily hits. Thats an additional 150,000+ people per month being exposed to your website link, your expertise and of course the products and services you want to sell.
Oh yes and don’t forget people will also spread your expertise and articles by emailing it to their family and friends - more people who value what you have to say.

The Geology and Landscape around Cardigan
By Monika Nolte
Cardigans hills, valleys and coastline demonstrate a diverse range of physical features that reveal its complex geological history. The areas rocks are mostly mudstone, deposited in a deep ocean basin about 450 million years ago. Associated locally with the mudstone are beds of hard sandstone, which can be found at Poppit Sands. These are often between one and two metres thick but elsewhere may be only a few millimetres thick. They were deposited as mud and sand on the sea bed but over time became deeply buried. Approximately 410 million years ago the deposits were squeezed and folded by massive earth movements, which eventually changed the mudstones into slate.
These folded rocks are best seen along the coast at Ceibwr and Poppit Sands. The action of folding led to the injection of fluids, and the paths those fluids took are now in-filled by a system of white quartz veins. Few fossils are found in the rocks due to the sediments having been deposited in deep water, although a few graptolites, which are free-swimming organisms that look like and are about the same size as flies legs have been found. In the 1800s the local slates were worked extensively along the gorge of the River Teifi between todays Wildlife Centre and Cilgerran. Cut into slabs, rather than roofing slates, the slate was used mainly in the production of troughs, flooring and fireplaces. Some of the slate waste found its way into the River Teifi, changing its flow pattern; this led to enhanced flooding upstream and silting downstream.
Much of Cardigan Bay is in-filled with a thick succession of Jurassic rocks similar to those in southern England. These reach near to the seabed within 3 miles north-west of Cemaes Head. During the last Ice Age the landscape of the Cardigan area became much modified, with the ice sheet crossing the area a few hundred thousand years ago. The southern edge of this ice sheet lay south of Cardigan, close to the crest of the Preseli Hills, but it flowed further south in what is now St. Georges Channel. Prior to the Ice Age the River Teifi flowed in a wide, meandering valley similar to that presently between Llechryd and Cenarth.
During a period when ice covered the region, the river cut a narrow gorge similar to that found presently between the Wildlife Centre and Llechryd. Deposits were laid down by the river flowing out of the last ice sheet as it melted, and the present location of these deposits highlights how the ice sheet must have been hundreds of metres thick and dominated the whole landscape.
At Cwm Degwel, St Dogmaels, gorge-like valleys and channels that were incised by melt water flowed, beneath the ice sheet, and when the ice sheet retreated the barren landscape was subjected to strong winds, with sand blowning high onto Towyn Warren at Gwbert, south of the Cardigan Golf Club. The landscape in the estuary continues to change. The spit at Pen yr Ergyd is expanding, causing erosion on the south-western bank of the river, and the dunes in the western part of Poppit Sands have expanded greatly in the past twenty years.
