Seven North Web

You can repurpose your blog posts, submitting them to the appropriate directories or republishing them in your personal/business social media sites, and have them attract traffic back to your original site.

When you submit your articles to directories, surely, other websites will make use of your article too. With the copyright terms of your articles, the URL of your website will still be intact and will subsequently direct more traffic to your website.

It is important to remember that splogs and certain dubious robotic bloggers are going to copy your content anyway, assuming it is of value; you might as well beat them to it and leave a trail of backlinks as you go.
