Article Submission hits millions and it is Free

By Brent Sweet

I talk about this all the time, but I really wanted to outline the benefits of article submission. I think it may be the best way in the world right now to market businesses. If you think about it I almost guarantee you could not get the following for free:

- Articles are viral marketing. Webmasters are all over the internet looking for articles to add to their website as content. Each time they do this they have to link back to you.

- When the webmasters use your article they are really telling the search engines they vote for your site as a relevant site for the text that you use in your link.

- The anchor text and vote count towards moving your site up in the search engines.

- If you can get your website to the number one position for a good keyword you are displaying your ad for free to more people that most newspapers would circulate to!

I think the most wonderful thing about article submission is that it is free to do. You seriously could advertise your business to more people over time than the Superbowl and not spend a dime. Compare that to the millions they charge for a 30 second spot. You tell me a better way to market your business.

So how can you submit articles free?

- First off you yourself write articles. You have to know a little bit about your topic, but if you are in business surely you know about the topic.

- You can submit your article all over the internet to directories, blogs, ezines and more. If the directory publishes your article (which they usually do) you get a free one way link!

- Go to each directory that you can find and submit the article, it is time consuming but if you want to do this for free this is the way.

It's a ton of work, I won't mess around. Want to know a secret? It can be a lot easier. I use a service that submits the articles for you. It is better than any submission software you can buy.

Here is what it does:

- First of all it submits my article all over the internet to over 1000 sites. If my article is on topic for the site then I will get published and get my free link.

- When this site sends out my article they send out unique versions of it. They do this by having me submit 3 versions of the same article. Then they mix up my versions even more and distribute them. This way each site can have their own version which makes my article more valuable to them, and the links more valuable to me.

- They also have a tested strategic method of submitting articles so that the search engines give them more value. I hate wasting any time so this is just what I need.

- Best of all it is automatic. I write the articles, submit once and the site takes care of the rest.

To sum it up article submission can be free, and it is the best way to market your business. If you do have some money to invest in marketing spend about thirty bucks a month and use a service that does the hard part for you. Then all you have to do is write like me.
