I can understand what you're saying. Yes, if it is good, it may get noticed and reposted somewhere.

But I don't think that's the kind of business model/advertising strategy that strong web sites should follow. It places value on promotion rather than valuable website content.

I'd prefer to continue to develop good content for my site and allow traffic to grow organically, as well as through pay per click advertising and other methods.

Like I said, I don't seek out these internet articles as authoratative sources of information. To me, they are just clogging up the internet with meaningless drivel. I can't imagine who else would find an article, written by a relatively unknown author, expressly for the purpose of marketing their website, as something valuable.

You are free to pursue this route and I wish you all the best with it. But I don't think it ultimately adds value to anything, and that's really what customers want.
