Article sites are very popular. If you do a search for articles on Google you will find over 860,000,000 results that's eight hundred and sixty million. That is a huge amount. You may be thinking why are they so popular? Well for one they are excellent information sources. You can find everything about everything on them. You can add a link to your site which is good for your ranking in Google. So if someone is trying to find some information out on "pink elephants" for example, and you have written a good article on "pink elephants" and Google thinks its most relevant, then your article will appear first in Google, and with any luck the person will read the article and then click on the link to your site. Also the more you write about your particular subject the more Google will see you as an authority on the subject. I have only been a web author for a couple of months and already if you type my name into Google, my articles come first and all over the front page.
