You can build your list simply by writing articles, whether you have thought of it or not.

Quite simply, you write and submit your articles on your topic of expertise or business nature to popular article directories where eZine publishers and readers are looking for the information you provide.

Leveraging your viral marketing efforts on article writing can be rewarding, if done right. In the real sense, you are actually proving your worth and demonstrating your expertise about your business through the articles you write.

So, how can this method in effect build your mailing list? The answer: the resource box you attach to your articles. In your resource box (also known as bio box), you include a brief detail about yourself and your business site together with its URL.

It is strongly suggested that your resource box URL links to your mailing list's landing page where you can get your visitor's name and email address, which will in turn help you build your mailing list at no cost.

If your articles are found worth sharing, eZine publishers will republish your articles together with your resource box for their readers and subscribers. The wonderful result: viral marketing without effort on your part!

You can start by writing and submitting your articles to trusted article submitter sites such as free article pro and begin your article marketing journey today.

You can also build list paid eZine advertising

Some Internet Marketers can get clueless when it comes to unleashing the full potential of paid eZine advertising. One of the most common dilemmas is that whether should the Internet Marketer advertise the product or service he is selling directly to the subscribers of the eZine he is paying advertising for?

This can be a wise method, but with ifs and buts. For one, the advertisement must be compelling and attention grabbing. Secondly, there is no telling if the eZine's subscribers constantly practice a buying habit until you put some money to find out.

Investing even a small sum of money can be risky to a number of Internet Marketers who are on tight budgets. But in spite of the risk factors, eZine advertising can still be rewarding, if done right.

Thus the solution: the marketer would be wiser if he or she uses eZine advertising to build his or her mailing list. It makes sense, anyway. Since some eZines display more than one sponsored advertisement, you can grab the subscriber's attention by giving a free or risk-free product or offer through your ad.

When the subscriber clicks on your ad, he or she can opt into your mailing list in exchange for the free offer, which can be a free report or even a trial service.

While you are not making a hard sell through your advertisement just yet, building your list by getting other eZine's subscribers subscribed to your eZine allows you to follow up with them in the future, as and when you have new offers.

Planning to start up a business? You have to physically set up your business. Then you have to start advertising for your products or services - but this will only reach the people in the local vicinity, unless word of mouth of your business reaches other places or if you advertise nationwide through television or radio commercials. However, these options may be too expensive for a starting business. Either way, you can only reach a limited amount of consumers.

Bringing your business online may reap rewards you cannot even begin to imagine! There are a lot of advantages to bringing your business endeavors online. One of these is avoiding the costs of setting up a physical office or store. You don't have to spend on rent for office space. Or pay monthly dues for the maintenance of your office like electricity and staff wages. There is also the hassle of traveling from your home to the office location, dealing heavy traffic and having to pay for transportation costs. With online opportunities for your business, you can be free from all of these. With the internet business industry growing, there will surely be a lot of progress in setting up your very own online business.

With having your own business online, you can reach even the farthest person on the planet. Physical distance is not a factor in dealing with clients online. Your clientele will not be limited to your locality compared to setting up a traditional offline business. Rather, your business will be accessible to clients all over the world as long as they can be connected in the internet.

One downside in setting up an online business is that people generally have a preference to look, feel, or test the product physically to check for their quality. They don't easily trust the product's description or pictures. People also have the liking to take strolls in malls. For them it is a leisurely activity for the whole family. Walking in malls is also a healthy form of exercise that people have come to enjoy over the years. This is an experience not felt when doing business online.

In order to get the people to transact in your business online, you have to properly and creatively write articles to draw these potential online customers in. This can be termed as article marketing. Article marketing involves the appropriate construction of articles to help online businesses, products, or services. It is somehow similar to online advertising, although the article used does not pose as an advertisement. Instead the article focuses on descriptions and other relevant information of the business, product, or service.

Articles should be written in such a way that online consumers will be drawn to your business. There are numerous guidelines for the creation of articles. This will be discussed by other topics or articles.

It is also important to develop the trust of the customers. Customers almost always seek assurances that their product of choice is of excellent quality. Plainly describing the products can just lead to doubts to some people, thinking that these are just sales talk. You should come up with articles that can help build the trust of the people. It's up to your creativity to do that. Sometimes it takes more than words to build a trusting relationship.

Through article marketing you should be able to reach out to customers. The principle is not to wait for customers to come to your business, but rather bringing your business to them. The articles that you have for your business should contain all the necessary information these online consumers need to know. The articles should also be convincing enough to lure the online consumers to your business. Do not heavily focus on luring online consumers though. They might end up disappointed with your business to the point that they give bad reviews towards you. Try to keep your articles.

Article marketing involves the utilization of article directories where you deposit your articles. These article directories categorize your articles fittingly to their corresponding categories. Popular search engines also browse through article directories when an online user searches for relevant keywords. Your article should have the appropriate keyword for is to be located by the online user. And the better the article in terms of quality and popularity, the higher its priority and ranking in search engines and article directories. Articles are always vying for priority to get better exposure to the online community. It helps to know that your articles should be good enough to make online users read them and patronize them.

Always remember that the very core of your online business is through article marketing. Keep your potential customers well informed by writing articles. Both the buyer and seller will benefit form these articles. The buyer gets all the needed information regarding the desired product and the seller is able to sell the product and gains money.

Branding, control and results - Submit Articles in Your Own Name

Summary:
Using the wrong article distribution service could reduce the effectiveness of your article and dilute your branding.

Keywords:
submit article, branding, linking, seo, promotion

Article Body:
Article distribution is currently booming on the internet.
Authors do it for a number of reasons.

It is a good way to be picked up by the search engines.
The backlinks from your resource box can help your search
engine position.
You have the possibility of secondary traffic if your
article is picked up by a popular website or ezine.

Various products and services have become available that
help you distribute your articles to the 100s of article
directories and mailing lists.

a) Software that speeds up maunal submission, or can in some
cases do this automatically.
b) Services that distribute articles in your name
c) Services that distribute articles on your behalf, but in
their own name.

The Double Edged Sword

Many people pay a premium rate for article distribution on
their behalf, without the worry of having to join various
article directory sites as a member, giving their own email
address, and receiving lots of emails from various Yahoo
groups.

Unfortunately what they don't realise is that often this
devalues their work.

1) In the author section on many sites, the name of the
distribution service will be shown, not that of the original
author.
2) Author sections of many article directories are a unique
marketing venue. Many visitors will visit the author profile
before reading an article all the way to the bottom. Most
profiles could have one or more websites listed.
3) Within RSS feeds from the article directories, the
distribution service might be shown in the byline, not the
original author.
4) Many article directories allow an author to change or
modify their resource box. If an article was submitted using
an account owned by a 3rd party distribution service, that
avenue will be closed.

Complete Control

For authors who want complete control of their branding,
either submit manually, or use article submission software.
You will receive more emails, but can always have a special
email address for this purpose. Googles Gmail service I find
is an excellent choice.
Article Announcer and Article Submitter Pro are two examples
of such software.

Limited Control

Use an automated submission service that ensures you are the
author. There are services that signup for members to
directories on your behalf, using a username and password of
your choice.
One such service is Article Marketer.

The Inconvenience

You will have to confirm your membership to many
distribution points, and some will continue to send emails
containing articles from other people. Yahoo groups normally
allow you to select a digest mode, or to not receive emailed
articles at all.
Most of this is a <b>one time effort</b>, although you will have to
be on the lookout for important messages on the email
account you use.

The Massive Gain

They are your articles, and you should gain maximum benefit
from them.

Using article distribution is much like a varient of
Pareto's 80/20 rule. You potentially gain 80% effective
results compared to manual distribution, for 20% of the
work.

However if your method of article distribution doesn't give
you all the possible credit for your articles, rather than
80% effectiveness, you might only be getting 60% or less.

Managing your own article distribution with tools
such as Article Announcer or Article Submitter Pro gives you
complete control to achieve your 80/20 goals.
A service such as Article Marketer which gives you full
credit, and reasonable control, might be 70% effective, for
10% of the work.

Refining your processes, and only using the most effective
method where it benefits you the most, you can maximise your
return for the work invested.

I use a combination of service and software for my own
distribution.

I quickly learned that writing articles and submitting them to online publications was a great way to attract new readers and gain experience as a freelance writer.

I have been fortunate to have several of my articles published on high trafficked websites and have made some wonderful new friends as a result of submitting my articles to these free ezines.

Here's the resource box I include at the end of my articles:

 

What you are giving is your permission for the publisher to publish your article in exchange for a byline at the end of the article. The byline is about four lines of text about yourself, including a link to your website.

Whenever I write an article, I first publish it on my own website and then submit it to ezines. Ezines will not take the time to edit your article, so make sure that you proofread it before submitting it. You may want to have someone else go over your article for errors before submission.

Here are some ezines where you can publish your articles.

articledashboard
isnare
articleblast
boazepublishing
articlecity
goarticles

You may also wish to search through ezinesearch.com for publications that will be interested in the genre of articles that you write.

Websites are constantly looking for free content to re-publish. Many webmasters search article directories such as articledashboard.com in search of content to publish on their websites. The number of ezines online is growing everyday. I'm constantly receiving invitations to submit articles to new ezines.

Writing and submitting free articles is a great way to gain exposure and increase your income when people want to hire you to write content for their websites.

It won't be long and you will be recognized as an expert in your field.

Summary:
When writing article marketing content it is important to make sure the copy itself would be able to reach the intended and target readers.

Keywords:
article marketing, submit articles

Article Body:
When writing article marketing content it is important to make sure the copy itself would be able to reach the intended and target readers. That is imperative because obviously, no content or article marketing copy would ever succeed in attaining its purpose if it is not targeted well. No matter how informative, entertaining, engaging and interesting your article is, if it is not gaining a favorable and appropriate search engine ranking, it would not be disseminated and shared well to reach its target audience. Thus, it is important to know some methods on how you could effectively manipulate the use of keywords to meet your article marketing goals.

To begin with, it is most significant to determine the right keywords for the subject you are writing about. A keyword is a main subject that would be the focus and theme of the entire marketing article. When using keywords in this regard, be reminded that keywords can be made up of a single word, a phrase, group of words or different sets of words that are put together. Keywords are important because that would be how search engines would identify, index and rank articles.

For example, you are using the search engine to search for articles with 'article marketing' as the keyword. Upon typing the phrase into the search engine box, a page containing all sites and Webpage addresses containing direct links would be flashed into the computer screen. Notice that the listing consists of several or numerous listings. Also take note that those sites and links listed on the topmost portion would likely solicit and enjoy more search engine clicks from online readers. You surely would look first at those listed on the first few links. And for sure, you would be more likely checking them out than the rest.

That is the wonder of using search engine ranking well. An article or a Website is enjoying a high search engine ranking if it is listed first on search engine results. You know for now that articles or sites with high ranking are more likely to enjoy higher page and readers review. As an article marketing writer, you naturally would be inclined to aim to attain that ideal search engine ranking. And manipulating with the working and operational keywords is the most likely key to that.

To be able to understand more the role of keywords targeting and usage in making your article marketing copy really effective, it would be better to know more about some specific keyword concepts. The following are those along with recommended actions to make your articles work.

Keyword density

This concept basically refers to the percentage or ratio of keywords within the overall volume of words that can be indexed within the whole Web page. Some companies and article marketing clients are particularly instructing writers to make sure the keyword density of the article is made ideal. In general, it is an unwritten rule or a strong recommendation from experts to make sure the keyword density is maintained at about 2% to 8%. This way, you can make sure that your article marketing output is well endowed and sprinkled with the most helpful and noticeable volume of keywords. Doing so would also help ensure a favorable and desired search engine ranking.

Keyword frequency

This concept is basically referring to the total number of times a particular keyword or keyword phrases are used not just within an article but within the entire Website. As you know, online sites are not just consisting of the article content. Usually, Website designs and pages are consisting of logos and brief descriptions of the content or of the subject or content to which the site is focused at. In general, the more frequent a keyword appears in the online site, the more likely any search engine would allot a high search engine ranking for that keyword.

Keyword prominence

The term keyword prominence is not widely known and practiced but it is one of the most needed. It refers to the way prominent keywords are strategically used inside the online site. As a recommendation, experts advise article marketers to put significant keywords within, near or at the beginning of the online page, or at the first sentence, title or within what is referred to as the meta tag.

Keyword proximity

The term refers to the proximity or closeness between keywords. With this regard, it is advisable that keywords be closer and more identical or synonymous with each other. For example, the keyword 'search engine rankings, is proximate, close or equal to the keyword 'rankings in search engine'. It would be advisable to use the two at the same time as operational keywords so that any way online searchers make their queries, they would be able to arrive at the same result.

- Traffic -

Every article you will ever find about making your site or company successful would always include the importance of generating traffic.

So, we all know that in the core of it all, traffic is the most essential thing to a successful internet based business company. Aside from ensuring that you have a great product to sell, and you have your company's internal organization well taken care of, it would be time to get to the nitty gritty of things, generating traffic.

If you already have a site and you think that you're not getting the traffic that you're supposed to be getting, then its time to reconsider. If you are contending in very competitive businesses, you should always be a step ahead of your competition. Increasing your traffic flow should have been done starting yesterday.

Timing is essential, that's an old adage known to everyone. But with generating traffic, you should always be on your toes and be a day ahead of everyone else. Never think of today and tomorrow as a starting point for making your site traffic laden, it should always have been yesterday.

To help you out in generating more traffic for your site, here are seven surefire ways to increase your traffic starting from yesterday.

1) Invest in good advertising with the top search engines

Google's Adwords and Yahoo's Search Marketing provide great advertising schemes that are very truly popular...and if done correctly with the right keywords and ads will provide you with great traffic.

Although, to do this surefire method to increase your traffic will cost some money. While some would shy away from spending money to increase traffic, it is imperative in this case to do so because Adwords and Yahoo are still the top ways to increase your traffic and the quickest.

You can see for yourself the success that these search engine advertising methods have had for so many companies. Lots of websites use these advertising systems and many have reaped the benefits. Do not be left behind. Every penny is worth it with using Google and Yahoo's advertising as long as it's done correctly and not hap hazzardly.

2) Exchange or Trade Links with other sites

If you're doing link exchanges with other sites, both of you will benefit from the efforts both of you do to enhance your sites traffic. When one site features another sites link, they will provide one another with the traffic that each of them generate. The efforts are doubly beneficial because it would seem like both of you are working to generate more traffic. The more links traded with more sites, the more traffic that each could receive. It's a win-win situation.

3) Use Viral Marketing

Viral marketing allows you to spread the word about your company and product without the out of pocket expense. This is a marketing method that can be quite sneaky; you can attach your company's name, product or link to a certain media such as a funny video, entertaining game, an interesting article or a gossip or buzz. With this method, people get infected with the creativity and entertainment of the medium that they will pass it on to many people.

4) Search and use proper keywords or keyword phrases for your sites content

Search engines look for certain keywords that you have on your webpages and they show you in their results page. In doing so, having the right keyword and keyword phrase is a high requirement in ranking high in search engine results. You could write your own content or you could hire someone to do it for you.

5) Write Articles that can lead traffic to your site

Submit articles to article directories that contain the same subject that your site deals in. If you sell car parts, write press releases and articles about cars and car parts. Attach your sites description and services at the end of the article as well as the link to your website.

6) Join forums and form online communities

Capture a market and show your expertise and credibility. When you build a good foundation for your site and have great content, people will trust you and will pass it on to many people they trust. Either through email, a newsletter article or their blog. Your traffic will certainly increase, because they know that you can provide what they need.

7) Offer newsletters.

If many people know what you are about and your existence is shared with many others, you will find a loyal following of people that trust and believe in you, in the end they can provide you with more traffic by recommendation. If you arouse the curiosity of your customers they would be pushed to help you with your traffic.

There are many people who dread having to write papers or articles. Many just feel like it seems to be too much work and it all just goes to waste when no one reads the. To some people, reading articles seems like work to, especially if the article is boring and very bland. Well, articles are supposed to be read, that's their purpose to impart your message and information. If it is not read then it is a waste of time and effort.

But all the same, articles have to be written to be read. It's just a matter of making them good. Making a good article doesn't have to be strenuous and straining. There are just some points needed to be reminded of, and some guides to follow. Once you get the hang of it, writing articles could be fun, as well as profitable for you and your site.

Of course, writing articles must be about something you know about, that's why if you own a site, you probably is knowledgeable about that certain topic and theme. When you write about it, you won't have a hard time because you already know what it is and what it's about. It's just a matter of making your articles creative and interesting.

To make sure that your articles get read and enjoyed, here are six red hot tips to get your articles read. These tips will make your articles readable and interesting.

1) Use short paragraphs. When the paragraph are very long, the words get jumbled in the mind of the reader just looking at it It can get quite confusing and too much of a hard work to read. The reader will just quickly disregard the paragraph and move on to much easier reading articles that are good to look at as well as read. Paragraphs can be a single sentence, sometimes even a single word!

2) Make use of numbers or bullets. As each point is stressed out, numbers and bullets can quickly make the point easy to              remember and digest. As each point, tip, guide or method is started with a bullet or point, readers will know that this is where the tips start and getting stressed. Format you bullets and numbers with indentations so that your4 article won't look like a single block of square paragraphs. Add a little bit of flair and pizzazz to your articles shape.

3) Use Sub-headings to sub-divide your paragraphs in the page. Doing this will break each point into sections but still would be incorporated into one whole article. It would also be easy for the reader to move on from one point to another; the transition would be smooth and easy. You will never lose your readers attention as well as the point and direction to where the article is pointing.

4) Provide a good attention-grabbing title or header. If your title can entice a person's curiosity you're already halfway in getting a person to read your article. Use statements and questions that utilize keywords that people are looking for. Provide titles or headers that describe your articles content but should also be short and concise.

Use titles like, "Tips on making her want you more", or "How to make her swoon and blush" .You could also use titles that can command people, for example, "Make her yours in six easy Ways". These types of titles reach out to a persons' emotions and makes them interested.

5) Keep them interested from the start to the finish. From your opening paragraph, use real life situations that can be adopted by the reader. Use good descriptions and metaphors to drive in your point, just don't over do it. Driving your examples with graphic metaphors and similes would make it easy for them to imagine what you are talking about. Making the experience pleasurable and enjoyable for them.

6) Utilize figures when necessary and not just ordinary and insipid statements. Using specific facts and figures can heighten your article because it makes it authoritative. But do not make it too formal, it should be light and easy in them and flow. Like a friendly teac her having a little chat with an eager student.

Article Body:
Have you ever searched for anything on the Web? Chances are you have. Do you tend to click on sites that appear at the top most of the page or on the first page, in general? More often than not, you do. This is because we are assured that the first few sites that come out on the first page of your search engine contains the bulk of what you are looking for.

Much is the same for Article Marketing. Many of the consumers looking for articles know that those sites that appear first are the quality sites.  Let's break down "quality sites"? Quality sites are those who have received a high score and thus have been given a high page rank by Search Engine Optimizers. Quality sites are also those who generate a hefty amount of traffic over a period of time. As more people have seen your articles, the better the review for your article market.

Let's not deny the fact that when people observe that you have a large amount of accounted for visits for your article, the interest of the people rises. As interest is raised, traffic is generated. If you have more to offer to these consumers and if you are able to maintain this interest, then like the snowball technique, people's referral to your site will just go on and on. But how is this done? If you are starting out, you may not know just where to begin in order to reach that level of exposure you are aiming for. How does an ordinary site become a quality site?

When an ordinary site becomes a quality site, a number of factors have to be considered. First, you have to have a catchy phrase as your title. Make sure though, that the content of your article can be summarized in that one catchy phrase and serve as your title. In this manner, your consumers won't have to tire themselves of browsing over the length of your article just to see the point you're trying to make. Consumers want quick results, and having a catchy and informative title will do the trick.

Second, is to generate the necessary amount of traffic. Who would've thought that traffic would ever be appreciated? Apparently, in Article Marketing, it highly is. Generating traffic can be easy but it would take several steps. The first step is to distribute your articles. The easiest method is by handing them over to several article directories. These article directories, easily accessible on the web, would be able to give your article as much exposure as possible. Yet, another way for you to accumulate traffic is by having link partners. These link partners would not hesitate to publish your work if they see that they can benefit from it as well. If they assess that your articles have the content that can attract consumers, then they will accept the opportunity. This is because, if the readers of your article enjoyed the content, it is likely that they will also visit the links available on your article. These visits will benefit those link partners.

Another approach to making sure your articles are distributed is by joining several forum sites. These sites have to have some relation to what you're trying to pitch in your article, because if the forum notices the relativity of your content, then they may just allow you to publish your articles on their sites.

Distributing your articles as newsletters may also serve you well. But in order for you to issue these as newsletters, you have to have worked up an email list worth sending newsletters to and an email list consisting of audiences who would be interested by the content of your article.

Make sure that your articles are distributed to as many publishers as possible. This may serve as another approach to generating traffic. If you send them to only one publisher and wait for the results, your waiting may have ended in vain. So take the initiative and distribute them yourself. The higher responses you have from these publishers, the better chances you have of producing traffic.

Lastly, in distributing articles, specific audiences have to be targeted. If you know who your audience is, you would have a better chance of formulating an article that would hold your audience's interest. Be aware of your audiences' accessibility to the Web, as well. If most of your articles are targeted to audiences who have few connections to the Internet, you won't be generating that much traffic and hence you won't be seen from the immense competition in the domain.

These are generally the ideas that can be used to assure the exposure of your article to a number of consumers. At the same time, you won't have to worry of the costs because most of the methods mentioned, offer free advertising. If some of the means you have employed to distribute your articles may require some cash, just think of it as an investment. In Article Marketing, as long as you stay with the idea, you will be raking in profits in time.

One way of promoting your website and product can be achieved for free. As an additional bonus, this "free" method can boost your sites and sales, doubling and even tripling your income.

Articles. One of the easiest ways to promote your website in order to generate traffic and increase your earnings.

How does this work?

Write articles relating to your website and submit them to "free content" submission sites. Easy to do, takes little time and can increase your website traffic, sales and of course, your income.

How can article writing boost traffic and income?

The article on the free content site contains a link to your own website. Readers, after reading your articles, may choose to click on the link and pay you an unexpected visit. Having them on the free content sites is also making these articles available to other webmasters who may wish to publish that article on their site.

If they do, your article will include a link back to your site. And anyone who reads the article on that site can still click on the link to visit your site.

As the list of your published articles grow larger, and more and more of them are appearing on different websites, the total number of links to your site increases also. Major search engines are placing a lot of significance on incoming links to websites so they can determine the importance of a certain site.

The more incoming links the website has, the more importance search engines attaches to it. This will then increase your website's placement in the search results.

If you site is into promoting a product or service, the links that your articles have achieved will mean more potential customers for you. Even if visitors only browse through, you never know if they might be in need of what you are offering in the future.

There are also those who already have specific things they need on their mind but cannot decide yet between the many choices online. Chances are, they may stumble upon one of your articles, gets interested by the contents you wrote, go to your site and became enticed by your promotions. See how easy that is?

Search engines do not just index the websites, they also index published articles. They also index any article that is written about your own website's topic. So once someone searches for that same topic, the list of results will have your site or may even show the articles that you have written.

And to think, no effort on your part was used to bring them to your site. Just your published articles and the search engines.

It is no wonder why many webmasters are suddenly reviving their old writing styles and taking time to write more articles about their site than doing other means of promotion.

Getting their site known is easier if they have articles increasing their links and traffic and making it accessible for visitors searching the internet. Since many people are now taking their buying needs online, having your site on the search engines through your articles is one way of letting them know about you and your business.

The good thing with articles is that you can write about things that people would want to know about. This can be achieved in the lightest mood but professional manner, with a little not-so-obvious sales pitch added.

If you think about it, only a few minutes of your time is spent on writing one article and submitting to free content site. In the shortest span of time also, those are distributed to more sites than you can think of. Even before you know what is happening, you are getting more visitors than you previously had.

If you think you are wasting your time writing these articles, fast forward to the time when you will see them printed and wide-spread on the internet. Not to mention the sudden attention and interest that people are giving your website and your products or services.

Try writing some articles and you will be assured of the sudden surge in site traffic, link popularity and interest. Before you know it, you will be doubling and even tripling your earnings.

Nothing like getting benefits for something you got for free.

Several years ago I began an online business.

At the time, the field I was entering was not all that crowded, search engine algorithms were much easier to manipulate, and links from relevent sites were not too tough to come by.

In short - if you wanted traffic, and were willing to do a little footwork, you could get it.

Over the past few years, things have changed.

Almost by accident, I stumbled upon a method for increasing, quite dramatically, the number of visitors to my website.

It turns out that almost everybody can design a really cool website...but very few people can write an interesting article. Writing is not a skill which is crucial in todays world, and very few can do it well.

(I, on the other hand, have the opposite problem...it's one of the few thing I can do well)

So, what is a webmaster to do if he wants to provide well written content to his visitors? Obviously, he needs to get somebody else to write it for him.

That leaves two options:

1. Pay cold hard cash to a professional writer.

2. Find a way to entice good writers to write good content for free.

3. Trade something of value for well written content.

My father once told me that there's no such thing as a free lunch. I believe he was correct, so option 2 is out.

That leaves paying or trading as the only viable options.

Most webmasters have opted for trading.

But what, you may ask, do they have to trade?

The trading arrangement which has evolved is one of wriiten content in exchange for a hyperlink.

Hyperlinks are gold in today's Internet economy. The more links a website has back to it, the higher it will rank in the search engines.

Therefore, if I, as a webmaster, can obtain several hundred relevent links to my website, my search engine rank goes way up, and I end up with a ton of visitors.

Do you see the possibilites? If you're a decent writer, you can end up having your articles published all over the Internet, with hyperlinks galore pointing back to your website.

"But how" you ask, "do I hook up with website owners who will publish my articles?".

Basically, there are several large article repositories online which will allow you to post your articles. Some of these are:

Go Articles
Article Beam
iSnare
Article Factory
Ezine Articles

There are actually quite a few more, if you do a search in Google.

Write a few articles, post them, and see what happens!

Which is the better way to market you product?  Is it better to submit articles to other sites or is it better to run an article site and receive articles?

Keywords:
articles, sites, links, article, article sites, submitter, auto submitter

Article Body:
I don't claim to be an article marketing expert, but I do both.  I run about 10 article sites and I submit articles using an auto submitter.  I feel that you can make money both ways.

I submit anywhere from 5 to 25 articles per weeks using a free, online article submitter to post my articles to hundreds or thousands or sites.  The articles run from 500 to 1,000 words and are related to whatever it is that I am selling.

For example, I write articles about Thailand while promoting my affiliate hotel sites geared specifically to Thailand.  I also write marketing articles and point them to a variety of sites that I run.

Using the auto submitter, I can get my articles and more importantly, links to my sites, all over the Internet.  The more links that point back to my sites, the better the search engines like me.

I have about 10 different article sites and a few blogs that accept articles automatically.  I manually approve each and every article.  I like to check to make sure that the articles are following my submission guidelines.  The biggest violators put links in the text and more than 2 links in the resource box.  I try to contact them to advise them of the rules and if they continue, I disable their accounts.

So, which is better?  I would have to say that submitting the articles is the more beneficial as it gets my links in hundreds or even thousands of web sites.  Back links are looked upon very favorably by the search engines and I love to have my links everywhere and for a long time.  And, if I am lucky, some marketer or eZine will send out my article to their mail list getting me more exposure.

Running the article sites is a bit time consuming since I have to check the articles 2 or 3 times per day or I get inundated.  Manual approval is a must for me since I want to check and make sure the articles are quality.  And with the auto submitters, not many actual people visit the site, just the auto bots.  But I still think there is value since my own articles get posted to my article sites, I can easily advertise, and they are ranked high in Google and Alexa.

So, I would try to do both but would put the emphasis on getting my articles out to the world with links back to my sites.  This will get more traffic and hopefully more sales.

Article Body:
Article Marketing is the hottest way of marketing your web sites, but writing does not come naturally to many people. We'll show you an easier way to start your writing career.
All through school and then maybe college or university, even as the writing became more detailed and longer.  No matter how many times you have done it, writing is probably a task that many of your have continuously avoided. Now at a time when writing articles could help your job or work, facing the job at hand can be daunting.

I'm one of those strange people that enjoy writing, but even I get stumped some times and while there are a great number of people who do like writing, there are still those who would rather walk on hot coals than write an article. So for those people and the ones who like writing and would prefer to be more prepared here are some hints and methods that might help you.

Step 1: Prepare an outline or template first.
One of the best pieces of advice that I was given, many years ago, and which I still use in my consultancy is:
"Tell them what you are going to tell them.  Tell them. Tell them why you told them."
Roughly translated into an outline this is:
• Pick a subject
• Introduce it
• Go into your detail
• Conclude as to why this was important.
Another template to think of - and one that gets published often is:
"Ten Reasons Why", "Top Ten Ideas", "Seven Solutions"
Well you get the idea.
Step 2: Pick your topic
Pick something you know about and start jotting down ideas. I find it easy to pick a temporary title sometimes other times I work on the subject and then the title just comes along on it's on.
The Top Ten is always the easiest and as it is a popular one with ezine publishers maybe you should make this your first one.
 Maybe it is something for dog lovers so you could have:
• Top 10 best ways to make sure your dog gets its walk.
• Top 10 ways to meet other dog walkers
• Top 10 best ways to raise pups
Well you get the idea.
Step 3: Headings and Summaries

The first sentence for your article, should immediately grab the attention of your reader and introduce the subject of your article.
 Many article sites ask for a summary of the article as well.  The summary is used in two places:
• On the article site as a part of the search process
• On the search engine entry that links to where the article is on the article site
So you can see that this is the place to pique the imagination of the potential reader as well as get you well placed in the search engines.
Step 4: Add the Content

You should now be in full writing mode and able to jot down the rest of the article, remembering the conclusion.  Read it through several times - but don't expect perfection. 
The more interesting the article is, the more people will read and remember it.
The best ezine articles are between 300 and 750 words long. I have written longer articles of 1,000 to 1,250 words, and had them featured on web sites, but long articles don't fare well in ezines.  So pick your market and try to get the right length for your choice of publication.

Step 5: The Resource Box
This is the reason for writing.  The resource box is the 4 -7 lines that sits on the end of the article.  The format should be as:
• Your Copyrights
• 2-4 lines about your expertise. You can usually include up to 3 hyperlinks.  Affiliate links are generally not allowed - so give your web site address.
• The terms of using your article - the expression "You may print this article without charge, provided this resource box remains intact."
Now that is it.

Want to know how to increase publicity for your website, in a sure and steady way? You may not realize it but many website operators use the same trick to generate traffic for virtually nothing.

Which is? Write content-rich and focused articles and submit to directory sites, other people's sites and ezines. This process is called article writing and article marketing.

Now, why would an ezine publisher or website owner want to post your targeted articles on their websites or use your articles for their mailing lists? The answer is that not many can produce tons of content that is specific and focused. And tons of high quality content helps to build traffic to their sites and loyal subscribers to their mailing lists.

Here is where your article comes in. In exchange for a byline and a link to your site (called a "resource box"), you allow website owners to use your content as it is. No one is allowed to make any changes to your article without your permission.

Here are some other advantages for article writing and article marketing:

* Gain "Expert" Status when you share your knowledge and expertise. Just look at the people who write newspaper columns. You get to appear like an expert when your articles are posted in a couple of article directory websites and when you write on a variety of topics pertaining to the same niche area.

* You can do some nifty preselling. This is especially if your article appeals to a niche audience hungry for some specific information. That way, you've already presold yourself, when they click over to your site.

* You get more links to your site. Then, you'd be able to enhance your search engine positioning just by your "link popularity". Once your article is posted on another person's website or an article directory, it is likely that it will stay there for a long time.

* You are providing an excellent tool to help your affiliates. Your affiliates are likely to promote you more often and more effectively compared to those who don't provide such help.

* It is also excellent for building an opt-in email list. Statistics show that on average, a prospect visits your website seven times before clicking a buy order. A constant stream of emails (with his/her permission) at regular intervals can help break down "defences" and build relationships. In addition, once the relationship is build, back end sales or sales of other products and services become easier.

So, do you need to have a flair for writing in order for you to write? Absolutely not. You just need to remember just two simple rules:

* Put down your thoughts naturally. Just like how you would explain to a friend about this subject over a cup of tea.

* Write simply. Bad grammer does not help. Complicated sentences and sentences that go on and on forever may not help you get your message across. So make your article an easy read.

Now, what is an easy way to get started on writing? Think of key problems that your audience is likely to have and then write an article that provides the solution. A few key examples here should help kick-start your writing:

10 ways to help you.....
5 extremely useful resource tips that you should know about....
7 time saving tips to....
1 breakthrough tip that.....

You can organize your article in this manner: an introduction (you can identify the problems that your readers are facing and your own short story or experiences), the list of points (the "solution") and a concluding paragraph (asking your readers to take some action).

After you finished writing, get someone to vet through your article. Alternatively, you can wait some time later and take a look at your article again. Improve it and check for grammer and spelling.

Then, it's time for article marketing. Submit your article to article announcement lists and article directories like  In your submission, make sure your articles comply with specific guidelines required by the publisher.

Article marketing can generate visitor traffic to your website as your articles get published and syndicated across the world. As you write and submit more articles, traffic to your site will definitely pick up speed!

Article writing is now a major weapon in search engine optimisation.  If you have read Part I of this article you will see why previous linking strategies are failing miserably.  As the major search engine, Google now expects links in order to increase your site ranking to be:

1 Relevant
2 Varying Anchor Text
3 One Way Links

These rules display that more of a natural linking strategy need to be evolved. 

Writing expert articles about the content of your website helps to achieve the three objectives above.

First of all, you are able to place links within the resource box of your article pointing back to your website.  Some article directories even allow you to place links within the article body itself.  Therefore any link text that points back to your website is highly relevant to the article content itself, and your sire.

It is possible to vary the anchor text from article to article while still keeping it keyword orientated and most importantly, relevant.

By submitting your article to article submission sites, you are not committed to place a reciprocal link back to the article site on your website.  This ensures that the link to your website is one way.

By writing many quality articles, you will start to be recognised as an expert in your field.

You can see how writing articles about the subject of your website can be a master SEO tool.  However, things get even better.

Ezine authors and webmasters also regularly scour these sites for fresh content for their ezines and websites.  Your article is free to be distributed and republished as long as it remains intact, with the resource box and all links live.

What this means is that each article can potentially create hundreds or thousands of backlinks to your website, each of them relevant, varying in anchor text and one way.  Not bad for about 30 minutes work.  So the advice is simple - get writing, or if you feel unable to write your own articles, get someone to write them for you!

Since search engines were invented, there has been a constant head to head between the search engine algorithm writers and webmasters.  Every time the algorithms changed the webmasters tried to outwit them.  The internet is full if conflicting SEO advice on how to achieve top rankings. This article hopes to clear up some of the confusion.

In the beginning it was sufficient to have an adequate amount of keywords on your website in order to rank highly in the search engines. This led to keyword spamming, a practice which still continues today amongst inexperienced webmasters.

Then along came Google and the goal posts shifted.  Google put more emphasis on webpage linking,  Their thought was simple - if one website had a link to another website, then it was as if the first website was placing a vote of confidence for the second website's content and therefore the second website must be useful and relevant to the readers of the first website.  Thus the Google Page Rank was invented.

Soon the webmasters and internet marketers got to work.  This saw the emergence of link forms and reciprocal linking sites.  Internet marketers declared that the more links that appeared on your site, the higher it would rank in Google.  Suddenly link pages from websites started to run into multiple pages as the race was on to exchange links with whoever would agree.  Some sites started to have thousands of links point to their sites and began rising in the search engine rankings.

Of course the game of cat and mouse with Google continued as the search engine giant once again changed its algorithms.

It is now widely accepted that previous linking strategies are failing because of what Google now expects from links.

RELEVANCY

Google expects links on a site to be relevant to the readers of the original site.

ONE WAY LINKS

Google gives a much higher priority to one-way links without a reciprocal link in return.

ANCHOR TEXT

It is better for the anchor text (the actual text that contains the link) to be keyword relevant to the content and also to vary as numerous instances of the same anchor text without variance can be interpreted as keyword spamming.

The importance placed on the above factors has all but eliminated the effectiveness of previous linking strategies.  Most links on link page directories were exchanged with any site who would reciprocate.  Therefore most of these sites were not relevant to the original site.

The reciprocal linking strategy also negates the one-way linking preferred by Google.  Most link directories contain the same anchor text in all links, as this anchor text was advertised on the "link to us" page.

Therefore Google now looks upon these reciprocal link directories as having no value.  They do not distribute page rank and therefore do not help the ranking of your website.

That is why I now describe article writing as the new SEO Master Tool - please see Part II of this article for the reasoning.

Dear Lonely in my Store,
First of all, you are NOT doing anything wrong. Online businesses take time and can get frustrating, especially in the first year.

If your online store is lonely, and you're watching the dust balls collect, waiting for traffic to come and buy, it's easy to get discouraged. As soon as the advertising ends, so does your traffic – if you're even getting any results from your advertising at all.

What if you could get visitors to your website – free? And, not only that, but the visitors keep coming for years? One of the best methods of generating traffic to your website is by writing and sharing articles. This is not 'get rich quick' and it's not a scam. It's just plain old fashioned marketing with a twist.

Now, even if you aren't a writer, you can use this method of getting traffic. It doesn't take a degree in Literature to succeed in article marketing. All it takes is a little time and energy. If you have that – you can get traffic to your website.

So, how does it work? Well, it's working right now. Look at the bottom of this article and you'll see … me. I didn't pay for this advertising, but you'll see a link to my website right there, plain as day, just for writing and sharing this article with website publishers.

It's actually quite simple, and it is underused, especially in work at home mom businesses.

All you need to do is write a short, simple, helpful article about something related to your online store. If you sell makeup, then write an article about how to choose a foundation color, or how to care for your skin during the winter. Then, after you've written your article, you submit it to the article directories.

Article directories are libraries of free articles. They are collections of articles that website and blog owners can use on their sites for free. The only stipulation is that everyone who publishes your article must include your author bio at the end which is where you include your website URL and some fascinating information about your wonderful online store.

So, now that you see how simple this free method of generating traffic is, I hope you give it a try. You've got nothing to lose and much to gain.

Question: How can I get long-term advertising for my Direct Sales website without spending a fortune?

Signed, Direct Sales Mom

Dear Direct Sales Mom,
Very often, people in Direct Sales don't realize they can benefit from the same methods of internet marketing that other online businesses use. Writing and submitting articles is one of those methods of marketing that is extremely effective for Direct Sales businesses.

If you're unfamiliar with the way article marketing works, basically, you write and give away helpful, informative articles. Why would you work so hard and give away your information? Look at the bottom of this article. There you'll see my name and a brief bit of information about what I do. I didn't pay for that advertising. It's free.

So, how does it work? You write an article about a topic that you are interested in – usually one that relates in some way to your business. If you sell makeup, there's no point in writing about forest fires. So, show your expertise and share your love of what you do in a brief article. Then you'll want to find article directories that will accept your article. You'll submit your articles to the directories, including your author bio and a link to your website.

Website publishers, blog owners, and ezine publishers will search the directories and find interesting articles to share with their readers. When they use one of your articles, they'll include your author bio at the end with a clickable link to your website. Voila. You just scored some free traffic.

As long as your company allows you to link to your website, (and I realize that some don't) – you can use article writing to grow your customer list and your team.

If your company does not allow links to your website, you may be able to set up a lead generation page to get people's information. Or you can send them to a newsletter sign up page where you can get them on a list where you may talk more freely about your products in your newsletter. Just be sure to check with your company policies and procedures before investing too much time and energy into writing articles.

Now get writing!

How a high school drop out who flunked english discovered he could easily create articles?

Keywords:
articles, writing, ebooks, info products, content, information

Article Body:
I'm going to tell you a story about a man that flunked out of school at the age of 16.  It was so bad at school that the only A's he got were in physical education.  When he was in junior high he never did any work in English because he hated it so much.  Of course, if you don't have good English, your reading suffers too. 

He didn't like school at all.  He would hook out of school and go to work; he was only 13 years old (he looked a lot older).  He went to summer school every year just to get through junior high.  I think they just pushed him through because he doesn't remember doing anything but showing up. 

Why am I telling you this?  Because the same man that flunked English every year and quit school at the age of 16 is a successful Internet marketer.  And guess what he does.  He helps people to discover multiple ways to quickly create content for websites, articles, autoresponders and any other type of content.  And you're right - it's me.

One day my best friend Lori, who is also my partner, was talking about starting a home business.  We both like to travel and we wanted our business to be portable.  We came up with this idea of working on the Internet.  We picked a guru program and put everything in it that we could.

In the program, there was a lot of reading and writing.  I had cold feet right from the start.  Lori knew that I had problems with reading and writing. My writing was so bad that when I used spell-check I could swear the computer was smoking and I was dreading it.  Me.  Of all people. 

But Lori saw something in me and figured a way around it.  She had me first start just doing some research on keywords.  I wasn't too bad just checking out some single words or phrases.  After I did that for awhile then she said that our websites needed to be blogged.  What the heck is a blog?  Did I tell you that the only thing I knew about a computer was how to fly my flight simulator?  Not even how to write or send an e-mail.  When she mentioned writing a blog, I didn't know what to think.  She told me that she would show me how to write just a few lines.

I'd write a few lines about our different web sites.  Every time I wrote a blog I would have to ask her to make sure everything was spelled okay.  All day long I would do research on keywords and I would try to write blogs.  Lori would read them and correct my spelling.

Then one day Lori said I should write an article about something that I have a passion about.  She said, don't worry about the spelling; just write down what you know.  I started doing what she asked.  I had no idea where she was going with this.  When your spelling is not good, your typing is even worse.  I think my top speed was about six words a minute.  It took me awhile to put things down.  But I did what she asked and didn't think about it anymore.

One night Lori said, Jeff come here I want to show you something. You are now a published author.  I said there is no way that I could be a published author.  Lori edited my so-called articles and submitted them.  See you can write, she says.  My response was, you must have rewrote the whole article and just put my name on it.  When I read it, it was my words but spelled right. 

I could not believe what she did.  It opened my eyes and made me realize that I can write articles and even e-books.  My point to all this is, if a high school dropout that flunked out of English every year can write articles and e-books so can you.

Article writing to generate web site traffic is a great idea. One important key that makes it work, though, is efficiency. Learn how to triple your output.

Keywords:
article writing, articles, online articles

Article Body:
When I learned about article writing as a way to generate web site traffic, I was intrigued. Unfortunately, it took me several hours to write that first article for my backpacking web site, and another two hours to submit it to several article directories. I still liked the idea, but it seemed like a lot of work for the results. There had to be a better way.

Today, I often write a new article in less than thirty minutes. Then I submit it to fourteen article directories in about twenty minutes. This means six times as much output in the same time, which means six times as much traffic generated, which means six times as much money made for the same effort. It seems very worthwhile now.

<b>Article Writing Efficiency</b>

First, I learned to write shorter articles. Attention spans online are short, and you want to keep the reader reading to the end - where the link to your site is. You also want the article to be used on other sites, and many webmasters won't use long articles. These are two good reasons to keep it short. Of course this means less time writing too.

I soon learned to identify the essential information quickly. In fact, articles like "Free Web Site Traffic - Seven Ways," get right to the point and are basically a list with a quick explanation of each item. They are easy to write quickly, and popular with readers.

The next important lesson I learned, was to keep a list of article directories on a file in the computer. I copy and paste an address into the browser for quick access to any of the twenty directories on my list. The addresses go straight to the submission page, or the login page. Links in your "favorites" list would work well too.

The most tedious part of the article writing process is the article submission forms. Some directories ask for descriptions, others don't. Some allow HTML, and others don't. To make this part go quickly, keep your articles organized in a Window's Notepad file or something similar. Write the title, then a two or three sentence description, and then a list of three to six keywords that the article might be found by. Then write the article.

You may find it faster to have two versions prepared, one with HTML tags for things like subtitles and italicizing. Have an author's resource box (like the one at the bottom of this page) prepared in two versions too - one with just the full URL of your web site, and the other with an active HTML link.

Now you can go quickly to the directories on your list, and copy and paste the proper elements in the proper parts of the form. If you have an auto-fill function on a Google or other toolbar, you can also enter name and e-mail address with a click.

Speed is the result, meaning more money for the time spent. To really make it efficient, you have to have a system. You can start with mine. Then look, and you'll find even more ways to systematize your article writing.

There are many article submitters out there and most of them are trash. However, when you find a good Article submitter, you will rule the article marketing world. So, read this; find out the truth, the myths and everything you need to know. A good Article submitter will blow bottom line through the roof and blow your mind. When I found one, it sure blew mine.

Article Body:
When you use Article Submitters to speed up your submissions to directories, get more visitors to your site and generate targeted leads, there are many variables that make or break your system. There solution to that problem. This is one of the big ones.

First, let's point out what to avoid. These are traits of poor quality Article submitters that you will not want to buy:

The article submitter does not enter the correct information to the directories.
You can not accurately select the category when you submit your article.
Your articles will not look "natural" in appearance when you submit them
Hyperlinks in the body of your article are not possible to use.
Article submitter is 100% automated so it will SPAM the directories

Let's talk about GOOD article submitters do, exactly what to look for and what to buy.

This is the key thing to look for. Make sure the submitter works live and allows you to actually see each directory as you sign up with, and or, submit to each one. This wipes out all of the problems listed above.

A good article submitter will have a list of quality directories and let you input new ones into the list. First you write and save a copy of your article in the submitter. It will also save other articles write.
Then sign up with and submit directories in seconds the first time you go to a new one in less than one minute. You just trough the list, pick the directories you like and signing up. The submitter will insert you sign up information and you just verify it at a glance. Then you know your information is correct. The submitter will have you user name and password available to log you in the next time you go to the directory at the click of mouse. You will also be able to pick the correct category, make any changes to your article, insert links and know that your article meets the directories editorial guidelines perfectly.

So, lets imagine you have set up you article submitter to work with 30 directories. You write an article in 15 minutes. Then you go through your list. This is what it's like:

Select the directories you want. Let's say you use ten. Ten seconds later you go the first directory and in one click you're logged in. Then you hit submit, look over your perfectly formatted article, summery, bio box and key words. Two more seconds. You decide to but in a text link buy hand in your article's body text. Twenty more seconds. Preview your article. Five seconds. Submit your article in one click. One second. You just submitted your article in thirty-eight seconds. So, over the next five minutes you finish up. Ten articles out in five minutes.

They are 100% accurate and save you incredible amounts of time.

Dear Fellow Internet Marketers/Business Owners,

Now You Can Drive Insane Traffic To Your Web Site Using The Magic of Article Submission...
...and it all happens practically on autopilot!

 I was totally amazed when...
... I finally stopped to add up all of the money I had been spending on advertising my web site. Fifty dollars here, a hundred there; pretty soon it had become a substantial amount of money and I wasn't seeing much in return. On top of all that, I was pouring more than I care to even think about into Google and Yahoo ads..  That's why I created Article Submitter!
 
You see, like many of you I had read all of the Internet marketing "how to" books, and I had become convinced that it took money to make money. Those books told me that I had to buy ads in the major search engines, rent e-mail lists and pay to insert ads into e-zines. So I clicked on the links to the programs that they recommended and I spent and I spent and I spent.

I did EVERYTHING that the "Gurus" told me to do and I ended up spending more than I was making. I felt deceived!

If you are not submitting articles to article directories you should start now.
I had been online for several years and always heard that you needed to submit articles. Of course I never did for the fact that I didn't have a clue about search engine optimizations and since I didn't, I really had no need to submit articles.

Boy was I wrong! In fact I don't know if I have ever been so wrong in my life :)   To this day I don't know much about search engines but I don't really need to. I get close to 1200 hits a day just from articles that I have submitted to numerous directories.

Submitting an article is just as easy as it sounds, write an article and submit it.
However if you don't find the effort rewarding like I did you would never start. So I am going to try to do my best to convince you otherwise.

A good strategy that I have come up with is everytime I write an article and add it to my website I also submit it to the numerous article directories that I have found and added to my notepad. I have 47 article directories saved in my notepad it only takes about an hour to submit one article to all of them.

On average I send around 3 articles a week to those 47 directories and on average I net 15-25 sales a week on various programs. If you think about it 1 hour a day is nothing compared to the rewards.

I  have also started to use Isnare to auto submit my article to hundreds of ezine publishers a day which is a steal for only $2 bucks I spend a day.
Ezine announcer isn't to shabby either. Remember that I don't know much about search engines and I get around 100 unique visitors a day to my blog from google.

When you start submitting articles at a rapid pace as I do you will see outstanding results. You probably won't believe your eyes as I did when sales start flooding your inbox. Something this simple should not be overlooked by any marketer and I hope this article shows you why.

I have compiled a short few directories that should get you started on your path to happy submitting.

Would you like to get hundreds or even thousands of high-quality inbound links to your website?  Do you wish your online marketing campaigns brought more visitors to your website?  Would you like to establish yourself as a respected and well-known expert in your niche?

How is this possible?  By writing and submitting articles to article submission sites.

Here's how it works:

You write articles on topics related to your website's niche.  At the end of the articles, the standard and accepted practice is for writers to include a resource box - a short biography with a link to your website.  Keep this brief and to the point, no more than two or three sentences plus your link.  Just be sure to arouse enough interest in your articles and your resource box that readers will click through to your website.

Now it is time to submit your article to article submission sites.  You can start by submitting your article to my site, ElectricText.  You will find a link in my resource box at the bottom of this article.  Next, go to your favorite search engine and type in keywords like "article submission sites" or "article submission."  You will find hundreds of article submission sites.

Article submission sites accept article submissions from writers.  Just click over to ElectricText and the other article submission sites you've found and create accounts at each.  Generally you just choose a username and password and maybe a pen name for each of the article submission sites, and then you can submit your article.  If your article submission is accepted, each will publish it in their article directory for others to republish.

Webmasters and newsletter publishers are always looking for content for their online marketing campaigns.  They visit article submission sites to find articles to publish on their websites or in their email newsletters (ezines).  One good article posted to a large number of article submission sites can literally be republished on hundreds of websites.

Because of the link in your resource box, all of those websites will now link back to your website.  Imagine thousands of copies of your articles with links to your website scattered all over the Internet.  The people that read your articles and click through to your website will be people already interested in your niche.  And the fact that they clicked through tells you that they already liked what you have to say.  In other words, they are open and receptive to your message.  Can you think of any other online marketing method that would produce better, more targeted traffic?

But that's just the obvious benefit.  The less obvious but equally important benefit for your online marketing is Search Engine Optimization (SEO).  All of the major search engines compete for business by trying to return the most relevant results.  Most search engines, especially Google, consider inbound links as one of the most important measures of the relevance of a website.  Links from web pages about the same topic as your website, and where the link also contains keywords appropriate for your topic, are all the better.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that if you write articles about the topic of your website, with links to your website in the resource boxes, this is exactly what you are providing for the search engines.  So not only do you get traffic directly from people reading your articles and clicking your links, you also get ranked higher in the search engines for your keywords.  Plus, you are building your reputation.  People start seeing your articles all over, and start seeing your website everywhere in the search engine results.  You have now become an authority on your niche!  And the more you become an authority, the easier your online marketing efforts become.

Put all this together and it's easy to see the value of article submission sites in your online marketing campaigns.  Time to start writing and submitting those articles!

Article Body:
Article Submission is a great way to get traffic to your site, but in some cases, articles are wasted in a directory that have so many articles on so many topics that people looking for a topic just get overwhelmed and look for something else. If you submit your articles to large directories with thousands of other articles about every topic, what is the chance that you article will be viewed? What is the chance that it will be published somewhere else? The truth is that it is not an easy thing to get your article discovered by a website owner and re-published especially if you are not a proffessional writer. The key to making your article submissions more worthwhile is to submit to specialized directories.

You might be thinking that these specific directories are not as good because they do not get as much traffic and they might not. The reality is that they probably get as much traffic or more traffic that is targeted to the specific niche. This way you know that every person that goes to that directory is looking for an article like yours. Broad article directories are great; I only use them when I cannot find a directory for the topic f my article (just like this one).

The idea of submitting articles to specific article directories is revolutionary. This is a way to get your articles published in a place where every single people is looking for an article similar to yours so there is a higher chance of being re-published.  I saw an example of such a directory when I was looking for articles to fill my site about "fishing". What I found was amazing, the site had many features that a regular information/shopping site would have but they also had an additional area where you could submit and republish articles that they posted. I found a countless amount of information and in no time I had a 50-page website within the day and my site had already been spidered by Google by the end of the month after I wrote my own articles for that directory.

These article directories are not easy to find though when you type "article directories" in a search engine. They use different key words. This is a problem because it is hard to know what key words will be found by imputing a key word in a search engine. To find them you have to type in a more specific search phrase. For example, if you are looking for articles for fishing you might want to type in, "fishing article directory". This will locate any fishining related website as well as directories for fishing packed with articles on the topic.

Submitting your articles to directories are a great way to get your site many backlinks as well as giving you a reputation for being an expert on the topic. If you send your niche articles to directories with a broad range of catagories and sub catagories and sub sub catagories, you will have a lot of trouble competing with the pofessional writers. What you want to do is find a specified directory with articles focusing on a certain topic, this way you have a higher chance to get you articles published  all over the internet faster then you can imagine.
