What are the benefits of writing for GlobeTales.com?

• Direct exposure – First of all you will get exposure for your writing. As we grow we hope that Globe Tales will become a highly trafficked travel website, and by submitting your articles here you will benefit from that targeted traffic. You can use your articles as a portfolio of work when exploring other writing opportunities.
• Promotional opportunity for your travel website – If you have your own travel related business then you can draw attention to it and gain potential customers by submitting articles here. With our content site focused specifically on the travel niche there is a much better chance that visitors who see your articles will be targeted visitors who are interested in learning more about your service.
• Relevant backlinks for your travel website – As any SEO (Search Engine Optimization) expert will tell you one of the most important factors in obtaining a high ranking in Google and other search engines is having backlinks from other sites pointing to your website. These links increase your site’s authority and help it to gain search engine trust. However, not all backlinks are created equal. You can’t just throw a link to your site out all over the web and hope to get to #1 in Google. Search engines love “relevant” backlinks, that is, links that come from websites with a similar theme to the site they are linking to. If you have a travel website, then a backlink from GlobeTales.com will be treated as a relevant link and will thus increase your trust factor in the eyes of the search engines. When you submit your article you can enter a short ‘Author Bio’ paragraph with up to two backlinks (with the anchor text of your choice) pointing to your website(s).

 

Do I retain the rights to articles I submit to GlobeTales.com?

By submitting your article you are giving us the right to publish it on GlobeTales.com, but beyond that your work remains your own, and you are free to republish it elsewhere if you so choose.
