If there are many websites which link with your website then it increases your website ranking which in turn boost up your traffic gaining. all at no charge, so free advertising is possible.

Article marketing not only allows links in the body text of the article but in the resource box at the foot of the page. The purpose of good articles is for people to use them on their site, with each having the links to your site contained in them which all helps the ranking. The speed at which websites get visited and registered by search engines can be ‘hit and miss’.

Bear in mind that when people visit your site, they are unlikely to want your product without learning more about it.
