Professional Article Submission

By Brown Puddle


One of the best ways to get back links is through article submission. "Article submission" simply means that you write, or have written, articles pertaining to the content of your website, and submit them, free of charge, to one of the article directories (actually you should submit them to as many article directories as you can find) which supply content to hundreds of online newsletters and e-zines.

When you take this to the next level, article submission really can translate into a lot of traffic. For example, now that you have written one well written article and got some action off of it, you are ready to do this again and again. That's because you can write any article and get the same results.

There are dozens of article submission directories you can use to submit your articles manually. This is free but is very time consuming and your time and effort could be used on other important things that you have to do by hand like managing your Pay Per Click campaigns.

keep submitting your articles to the article directories, but only unique versions of each article, because you want each article to build a link to your website. By submitting unique articles at least once a week, you can have thousands of unique, inbound links to your website within months!

The cost for such articles is generally very reasonable and you will find service providers very willing to work with your subject and submit work in a timely manner according to the deadline that you have agreed upon. You can depend upon quality assurance and that there is no copying from other web sites.

Before you submit article, you need to plan in advance in terms of topics, article submission service and various associated costs. Many people don't do this and they suffer. You also need a specific objective in mind.

Go with the best publishing sites. Submit your articles to submission sites that have quick review and posting time, have steady and huge traffic, and those that are indexed by Google. These are the sites that can give your articles maximum exposure to increase their chances of being picked up and republished.

The more links your website receives over time, the higher it's pagerank will prove to be. Since Google puts a lot of value on pagerank when it comes to search engine rankings, having your pagerank as high as possible should be a must-do on your website promotion agenda.

Spelling is another major issue. Once the article is accepted for distribution, you may be embarrassed to discover spelling mistakes or typos posted on different websites, with your name on it. Before submitting your article read it again, just to make sure that it has a flow and it's easy to read.

Ask for a list of the directories that your articles will be submitted to. There are services that state that they submit your articles to over 500 directories. While there are more than 500 directories I have discovered that only around 150 of them are worth the effort involved to use them.

If you have the budget, invest on reliable article submission software that can electronically submit your articles to hundreds of publishing sites so you can save more time that can you spend on multiplying the number of your articles.

If you put website URL in the text, this URL will be clickable. This means when your point mouse to this URL, you can click it and get forwarded to the site page indicated in URL. Perhaps you noticed that sometimes you can see a simple text which is linked to a special URL.

However, creating articles that will be successful in this regard requires thought and skill. Firstly you will have to be able to write an informative article that reads well enough to catch the reader's attention.

The content of the article should be such that it satiates user's need appetite. You can know about this by conducting a survey about what user needs or by seeing the keyword search engine rankings.

Make no mistake about it, article marketing is one of the surest and fastest ways for you to very quickly establish a reputation in your market and build up credibility in a very short time. That's the power of article marketing.
