Where to Submit Your Articles for Maximum Effect
Posted: December 26th, 2009 | Category: Writing and Speaking
Article marketing can provide your Internet marketing efforts with a much-needed boost by leading a large number of additional Internet users to your site. Regularly submitting high-quality articles to article directories is a good start. Follow the regulations that article directories set, such as the maximum number of allowable article submissions per day or week.
New articles may be submitted to virtually hundreds of different article directories. You can send your articles to the most widely used directories, as well as sending them to directories that focus on niche topics. You can locate the second type of directory via Google, by typing in your keywords plus the additional phrase ‘ezine directory’.
Some of the most popular article directories on the Web include:
• www.myarticlenetwork.com
• www.ezinearticles.com
• www.goarticles.com
• www.articlebase.com
• www.articlecity.com
• www.articledashboard.com
• www.ideamarketers.com
• www.isnare.com
• www.searchwarp.com
• www.selfgrowth.com
Reviewing your articles for any oversights, such as misspellings, and following correct sentence structure and grammar are important. Running a spell check on each article, as well as verifying that your links are correct, will give you a better chance at marketing your articles.
Manually submitting articles to the directories one by one may prove to be tiresome after the first few times. Using article submission software, which you can find on the Net for free, will save you much time and effort, as well as minimizing errors due to oversight.
The Article Submitter from Brad Callen is a viable alternative. The software automatically completes the required information for you. What you need to do would be to click on the ’submit’ button to send the information, and Article Submitter continues to the next website. While cutting down on time and effort consumed, the software also shows the Page Rank of whatever site receives your articles.
There are even more sophisticated options which require you to do less work, such as isnare.com and articlemarketer.com. These article submission websites give you the ability to disseminate your articles via article directories much more quickly and easily.
What you get from Isnare and Articlemarketer come at a price. The rates vary according to the number of articles, with Isnare charging for every 5 articles, and Articlemarketer requiring a yearly fee of 9. The latter allows a user to submit any number of articles. The site also hosts a no-cost account, which can send your articles to a sizeable number of sites.
For people new to article marketing, or those who have limited means, Article marketer’s free account or Isnare is advised. Otherwise, the My Article Network account is highly recommended.
