Today, no one can deny the fact that article submission has become a big trend in internet marketing to improve website's popularity on the net. There are thousands of articles, books and forum entries showing that submitting your article to as many article and ezine directories (article hosting sites) is the best thing you can do to increase valuable targeted traffic to your web site, and quickly grow your site's backlinks. In this article, you can find some ways that can help you increase the effectiveness as well as facilitate the process of your article submission.
* Preparation is key: Prepare a short abstract and a list of keywords for your article. Not all article directories will ask for them, but if they do, make this abstract and the list of keywords ready to copy and paste. Besides, you may also prepare several different versions of your articles to prevent duplicate content recognition from search engines. Replace some words with synonyms and rephrase sentence clauses; you'll then have articles with identical meaning for readers but different content for the search engines. Next, gather all the information which is required by most submission sites including title, author name, pen name, word count... for author account creation. And last but not least, make sure you have reread and corrected all misspelled words or grammar errors before submitting your article because you will lose credibility with a lot of mistakes in your work.
* Make effective use of your resource box: This is the main reason for writing the article because it's the resource box which is going to bring targeted traffic and backlinks to your own website. Keep it short, concise and include the most important information: your name, a few attractive sentences about what your site offers and the most prominent link (URL) to your website. If an article directory supports HTML code (or Rich Text Editor support), don't type your URL in its entirety. Use it with the anchor text (keyword) that you want to build backlinks for. With different directories, you should vary this anchor text which points to different pages in your website. Of course you must accept the policy of article directories, do not overuse or abuse with your resource box.
* Use a clear format for your article when submitting: Write an article as simple as possible with a clear structure. It's better to avoid complex HTML tags, images, affiliate links and special characters. Make certain to double-check the guidelines of different article directories and follow the minimum or maximum article length, general layout and style. If you are allowed to use HTML (or Rich Text Editor), you should use some basic tags such as (b)old, (i)talic, (br)eak line, (p)aragraph, (a)link to make your article more attractive. Moreover, pay attention to your headline since it is the most efficient thing you can do to get your article read. In the headline, you should highlight a problem or state a solution that your readers are looking for.
* More is better: There are thousands of article directories on the Internet, so the more directories you submit your article to, the more backlinks you can get. It's better if you have prepared a list of all article directories appropriate to your article. With the keywords "article submissions", "articles directory" or "free articles", you can find on search engines thousands of article directories where you can submit your articles. On the Internet, besides the big articles directories, there are a lot of small directories which you won't find with the above popular keywords. Most of them are based on the same software such as Article Dashboard or Article Beach,... so with the keyword "Powered by Article Dashboard" you can get a list of all article directories which use Dashboard System.
* Check your article's exposure and maintain your list of article directories for the next submission: Almost all article directories are based on human editors. They need time to read and approve (or reject) your submitted articles. So, the appropriate time to check your article's exposure is about 2-3 weeks after submissions. You can check by either using the search tools (if it exists) on the article directory to which you submitted, or using search engines which index and update quickly like MSN. This step is very important to make sure your article's format is correct and the resource box is included. In addition, this is also the step to evaluate the article directories: are they still managed or abandoned? Are your articles suitable for these sites? The collected information from these checks will help you maintain a reasonable and useful list of article directories for the next submission.
In this article, I've provided you with some basic but effective tips to help you with your article marketing campaigns. Article writing and submission bring benefits to all authors so it should not be underrated. If your articles are not well-written and submitted effectively, you won't derive the maximum benefit from article submission.
Happy writing and submitting articles!
