"… way leads on to way. .. " Perhaps nowhere is this more relevant than with online articles. Why?
Today I received a comment that got me thinking about Triond articles and how they actually act like stepping stones.
Here’s the comment: Just have to credit you on “links” – I read this blurb, read the article, clicked to hubpages, went to web upon and ended up learning about facebook!! – good couple of minutes work for both of us I guess!!
Intrigued, I went back to the article I’d written, then followed my own links. In doing so, I was reminded of stepping stones because each link took the reader to another article at a different site.
Now, think about this . . .
If, each time you write an article, you embed a link to another article at a different site, you not only increase views for multiple articles but you up your chances of earning via either page views or ad revenue. Additionally, you earn when someone joins a site under you, if you’ve taken the time to include that information as well and if the site offers that additional earning opportunity.

Triond Articles Act As “Stepping Stones”
Now, how does all of this relate to Triond articles? Do you want to start down the stepping stone pathway? Get started here: Writing For Triond: Show Me the Money! and follow the “stones” (links) to see how an article blurb leads the reader through a succession of articles and right back to one of my Triond articles.
Give serious thought as to how you can do this with your articles at other sites, so that these are stepping stones helping readers to navigate back to your Triond articles.
In sum: use links as stepping stones that propel readers forward on the “pathway” so they end up back at Triond!

I use links on my personal blog to bring readers to my Triond content.

The stepping stone method sounds like a great tool. Thanks for the idea and explaining out it works. Great stuff!

Yes, there are many avenues to continue to keep all your work in constant circulation. What’s genius about Triond’s platform is that you will continue to earn residual income for life – - and the more you write, link and utilize sites like digg and stumbleupon, the more that your earnings grow substantially.
Very nice work.
Blessings.
Sincerely,

Hi AJ,
If we could use this approach with all articles, we would set in motion an unstoppable reaction. Always, use one article to point to another like stepping stones on a path that points forward!

The art of the embedded link is one all writers should have up their sleeves.

Each time you create an article, it pays to include a link to another article, and to another, and so on. Each article becomes a stepping stone and drives article traffic.
For those looking to earn a living online, this is one of the most important considerations to keep articles in circulation.
