Have been hearing that article writing also helps in promotion of own site. Can some one advice:-
- What methods to use withing articles to see that own site is promoted

Regards

Writing articles is one thing but promoting you article is the most important part. So if you have nice article then make sure you bookmark it in social bookmarking website such as Delicious, StumbleUpon, etc. This will create a "back link" to your website. Get what I mean?. When you post your article to these popular sites, it is much easier for search engine bots to find you.

There are a lot of article directories you can submit your article.
First you have to register. Then you submit the article. Usually the
minimum number of words are 300.

Inserting your website link on an article without any relation for information
purpose is a no-no. At the end of the article, the is a resource box where you
can promote your websites.

let me add my 2 cents.

If you're planning to write your own articles and post them to article directories you must take note of the followings since most of the articles directories only accept articles which are good, unique and free from spelling errors:

• non duplicate article
• no spelling errors
• good and informative
• add knowledge/info to readers
• limited embedded urls
• at least 350 words

If you're planning to use PLR articles that you bought, do not copy and paste your PLR articles directly. Rewrite or rephrase those articles to get at least 35% difference from the original articles.

Also make sure you post to the related subject area. Read their posting rules before you post your articles.
