Posting fresh, new, and relevant news articles on your website on a regular basis can drastically improve your rankings on Google and the other major search engines. Not only does a good news article add value to your website’s content and improve the visitor’s overall website experience, but once it has been indexed the search engines will rank the article, generate inbound links and ultimately increase traffic to your website. If the article is unique, newsworthy and useful, then visitors are more likely to comment or share the article on Facebook, Twitter, Blogs or other social media sites.
