The by-line refers to your name and position in the company you represent. On the other hand, the bio box provides background information about you, the author, which is foundation of your credibility and your contact information.
2. Publish wherever possible - Once you've got your article ready, publish your article not only in your website but in other websites as well.

Make a separate schedule for tracking the publishing of your articles so you won't submit the same article twice to a particular website.
4. Get listed everywhere - Aside from submitting your website's link to online directories such as Yahoo!, Google, and MSN, submit your article's links to various article directories as well. This will boost your article's promotion since the directory links back to your site, thereby creating the traffic you need.
