You’ve probably been hearing for quite some time that content is king. I’ve found that statement to be very true with my online business. Here are some marketing strategies you can use to get website content for free.

The more content you have on your website the better chance you have of your website becoming indexed by the search engines. More content with relevant titles and keywords will help your website to become more visible for a wider variety of search terms. This in turn will lead to greater website traffic and potential revenue and should be an important part of your internet marketing strategy.

One of the places I like to go for free content for my website are article sites. While you can browse through each of the hundreds of article sites individually, there’s a website content tool that lets you browse through many article sites by keyword. This way you can find keyword specific content for your website.

It’s called Content Rover and can be found at: http://www.contentrover.com/

Content Rover allows you to not only search through press releases, you can also find relevant optimized content in press releases. You’ll quickly notice that this content does require you to add a small authors resource box with its usage.

If you’d rather find free content for your website with no restrictions you should try some of these sources.

1. PLR websites are great choice for content that you can use as your own. You should remember to change some of the sentence structure and add, remove or change some words to make the PLR content unique. These changes to your PLR content will help you achieve better search engine results and help you to avoid duplicate content penalties.

2. Public Domain Content is great because there is so much of it available. Much like PLR content any material you find in the public domain should be modified to avoid a duplicate content penalty.

3. Start a blog and encourage blog comments. This is a great way to have people create your contnent for free. Make a thought provoking, controversial or popular blog post to get people adding to your blogs content.

4. Add a reviews section to your website. People love reviews online and maybe even more like sharing their views about products or services. You could create a reviews section on your site and have people add valuable review content to your site free of charge.

5. Make your own forum. This is perhaps one of the best ways to get free content added to your website. Create a discussion forum around a niche that people are passionate about, drive visitor traffic to your niche forum and watch as the relevant niche content is created for you.

The great thing about using these methods in your website marketing strategy is you’ll create a sticky site that people come back to again and again.
