Using Article Submission Directories for Online Marketing Success - Marketing

Do you have any idea how you can get hundreds or even thousands of high-quality inbound links to your website? Have you been wondering what else you can do so your online marketing campaigns start to bring more visitors to your website? How much do you think it would take for you to establish yourself as a respected and well-known expert in your niche? Is any of this possible? Yes it is, by simply writing and submitting your articles to article submission directories. Let's take a look at how it works......

To get started you will need to write articles on topics related to your website's niche. At the end of the article the standard procedure is for writers to include a separate paragraph called a resource box. In this box is a short biography with a link to your website. Resource box information is structured to be brief and to the point. It should be no more than two or three sentences plus your link. The key is to stimulate enough interest in your article and your resource box so that your readers will click through to your website.

Now it is time to submit your article to article submission directories and sites. Free article submission is a great tool for you to use, so start submitting to these article directories as soon as your article is complete. It won't cost you a thing. All you need to do is go to your favorite search engine and type in keywords like "article submission sites" or "article submission directories". You will find hundreds of article submission sites available for you to send your articles to.

When you are ready to start your free article submission, you normally will have to create an account at each of their sites. The process is not time consuming and usually you just need to provide a username and password. The article submission directories may ask you to complete a little information in your profile, but that is optional in most cases. If your free article submission is accepted, each will publish it in their article directory for others to republish. This is how your free article submission will begin to gain momentum.

Webmasters and newsletter publishers probably never end their day without a visit to an article submission site. Since they are always looking for content for their online marketing campaigns they spend a great deal of time reading through articles. These articles are then published on their websites, in their email newsletters or their ezines. One good article posted to a large number of article submission directories and sites can literally be republished on hundreds of websites, and all to your advantage.

Because of the link in your resource box, all the 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 who have expressed an interest in your niche. Since they clicked through, you already know they liked what you had to say. In other words, they are open and receptive to your message. It's hard to think of any other online marketing method that would produce better and more targeted traffic than article directory submissions.

Now let's address a less obvious but equally important benefit for your online marketing campaign, search engine optimization, better known as seo. All major search engines compete for business by trying to return the most relevant results. Most search engines, especially Google, consider inbound links (the number of links coming into a page) as one of the most important measures of the relevance of a website. Links coming from web pages about the same topic as your website, and links containing keywords appropriate for your topic, are even better seo indicators.

It should not be hard to realize that if you write articles relevant to the topic of your website, with links to your website in the resource boxes, that you will be providing the search engines with exactly what they're looking for with your free article submission.

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. Additionally, this a great way to build your online 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.

Once you have reviewed all the advantages, it's easy to see the value of using article submission directories and sites in your online marketing campaigns. Time to start writing and submitting those articles!
