Around a year ago I wrote my first article and posted it to ezinearticles, which many people regard as the best article directory/website. Looking back I have to admit that I did not really know what I was doing, and in truth the article was not that impressive. I continued to write more articles and continued to make mistakes.
Unlike other directories who seem to accept any old article, ezinearticles check what you are submitting. I am now spending a lot more time when I write the articles and feel that they have gradually improved, this has been confirmed by Wally himself I am pleased to report.
So do I personally think that article marketing is beneficial? I have had e-mails from all around the world from people who have enjoyed reading my articles, maybe I am a bit sad but this gives me a little buzz. I have gained a one-way link from a number of these people after they decided to include my piece of work on their websites or blogs. They have helped my external doors and cost reduction websites to rise up the rankings and has also helped to promote the stuttering therapy service that I offer. I managed to stop stammering a few years ago and as a career I now help other people to achieve fluency.
Each and very person that gets to read the article is a potential visitor to your website - this is traffic you would not have course received had you not written the article. That visitor could of course turn into a client or purchaser of your product/s.
For me search engines are going down the path of seeing one-way backward links as by far the most powerful form of link.It can be far from easy to obtain these essential one-way backward links and this is where the real benefit of writing articles comes to the fore as it has the power to help you to gain an unlimited amount of links.

Monday 6th Feb 2012: My Prostate Cancer Diary.
So here is the problem. I have dismissed Surgery completly and that leads me to Radio Therapy as the only available conventional medical alternative.
My Oncologist want me to have Hormone Treatment to:
- a: Slow the Growth of the Cancer cells by (basically) chemically castrating me. Ouch!
- b: Shrink the Prostate down to a smaller target for his magic Death Ray.
I didn’t want to do that with Hormone treatment, but can appreciate why he wants to do that.
So I’m looking into all types of Natural and Alternative medications.
The best I have come up with is PawPaw (Papaya) as there have been quite a few studies with very promising reasults, PLUS it has been… Continue reading Prostate Cancer Diary - My Natural Alternative
Prostate Treatments and Me.
Long time coming since my last post – but I have been kinda busy…. Tests – tests and more tests 
So this is the latest:
My Urologist sent me to the Radio Oncologist because I decided I do NOT want surgery. Apparently I can’t have Brachyatherapy (my original choice) because my Gleason Score is 8 – too high, so External Beam Therapy is the only option, even though they only found cancer cells in ONE of the TEN Biopsies they took.
HOWEVER: (I am discovering LOTS of ‘Howevers’), the Oncologist wants me to have Hormone Treatment first to bring my enlarged prostate down in size.
An ‘Average’ prostate is about 40mm – about the size of a small Plum -… Continue reading My Personal Prostate Cancer Treatment Options
And it came to pass….
A week or so has gone by since I wrote the first post on my ‘Personal Prostate Journey’ and was pleasantly surprised by the comments and messages sent to me.
So thank you all – I appreciate it.
But the one thing that caught me off guard was the WAY it has effected others in my family.
The general consensus was ‘ouch’ or ‘shit’ or some other expletives too bad to mention here – but you get the idea. However it was strange from my point of view to sort of accept it as a ‘fait accompli’ when others reacted differently.
One member of my immediate family came rushing to see me, while another has not mentioned it to me at… Continue reading Who Are The Innocent Victims of Prostrate Cancer?
