Article Submission

Get one way links and traffic using articles

Article submission is a great way to get your website noticed and get incoming links to your website. There are many benefits to article submission.

What do I mean by article submission? Let me explain. Writing articles that are related to the topic of your website and submitting them to ezines, article banks and other websites is the short explanation.

Many ezine publishers are looking for free well-written content for their newsletters to take the pressure off and save time in producing their newsletter. Other webmasters are looking for good related content for their websites and blogs either in the building process, or to continually be adding content. This is where you come in.

You can submit your article either to ezines that are looking for content or to article banks. There are many other places that I won't go into now. Just know that there are other ways to circulate your articles.

So how does this help you? If you submit your article to an article bank and it is picked up by other webmasters or ezine writers and re-published on a website or in an ezine it could bring you traffic and incoming links. When you write an article you include a resource box at the bottom with some information about yourself or your website (written in 3rd person) and include a link to your website and/or newsletter. The rules require that your article not be altered, and that your resource box be left intact.

So what happens when your article is re-published on another website with your links is that the search engines find these and follow them to your website. Cool huh? Wherever your article is published, people can click on your link and guess what? Traffic! Submitting articles on a regular basis will increase your incoming links which Google considers a vote for your website. The more votes your website gets, the more likely it will be a winner.

Another thing to consider about getting traffic from article submission is this. Those who have read your article and followed your link did so because you had something that interested them and they are warmed up before they reach your website.

Article Submission Free or Automated

Article submission can be free, or it can be automated. You can write the articles yourself for free or you can even pay to have them written. You've spent some time creating your website so you should be familiar with your subject and able to write a few articles at no cost. But if you feel you can't or just don't want to you can have articles written for you, or you can buy plr atricles. Wherever you get them, always look them over before submitting. And, if you use plr articles, rewrite them in your own words. An even better idea is to both re-write them, and then add a couple of small paragraphs you create yourself.

You can submit your articles for free at a lot of article banks. This can be done if you are on a tight budget.

This article submission service is very reasonable considering the wide variety of article circulation and the time it saves me in submitting to all these different places. You can begin and try their service for free. The free part of their service has less circulation than the paid version, but hey it's free and quicker than doing it yourself and gives you a chance to see how the service performs for you. Try them.

To gain more knowledge about this whole process, and pointers in writing and submission this is an excellent guide written by someone with a lot of experience. Learning and practicing article submission will probably prove to be the least expensive and yet most effective part of your promotional program.

Free Article Submission

If your budget is tight you can write all your own articles and hand submit them to the article directories yourself. It does take more time, but it still works. You should visit some of these article banks anyway just to get a good fix on how this works and see examples of articles. Read their submission rules.

I firmly believe that EzineArticles is the best place to submit articles. I have tested, and find that I always get good results with their service which is free. The one advantage to using the article submission service I mentioned above is that you can schedule when your articles go out. It gives you the advantage to upload your articles and designate a date for circulation. This is very helpful if you have to be away for a while, go on vacation, or are just going to be tied up with a major project. Your articles will be out there working for you while you are busy with other things.

Also be looking for article banks that focus on your specific field. Having a few of these that are specific to whatever you are marketing can add much to your article marketing power.

Be sure that you do not submit the same article to more than one place. This is not to your advantage. Take the time

The same goes for PLR, or private label articles. In my opinion, they do have value as a germ of an idea. This can be helpful when you are stuck for something to write about. If you own PLR articles, find one that interests you and read it. Then do some research to find more content, and rewrite using the PLR as a basis for an idea with additions from your research.

Below is a list of some of these article submission websites. There are many more, and there are ones that are more topic specific. Visit some of these, and find more article submission websites through a search for free content, article banks, article directories adding any specifics to your search you need.
