Why Your Articles Are So Important!

By: Clive Anderson

Why researching, writing and submitting articles correctly to directories
are so important?

When an article is submitted and accepted into a database you have
almost made what is known as a carbon footprint. In other words that
article will remain alive indefinitely, forever.

Talk about indefinite free advertising. By adding back-links to your article
you will be creating 100% free advertising.

This in turn will also imbed your name among the search engines creating
popularity for you as someone that has insight and knowledge in your
specific field. Be it Gardening, Sport, Marketing, Flying, Fishing, Animals,
Organic Cooking, DIY, Writing, etc. This means people will openly buy
your products and pass the word as a source that can be trusted.

Additionally your website will also become listed by the search engines
that frequent the sites which you post your articles in. Again, another
form of completely free advertising.

On top of that, other article submission programs will be searching for
new content for their own websites and place your article on their site as
if you had posted it there yourself. This is yet even more free promotional
advertising for you.

If your article is good enough some websites that you submit it to, may
even feature it. Meaning placing it in prime position for all visitors to their
website to see as well as having it within the assigned category you
placed it under. Giving you another bite at the apple for gaining new
visitors.

Build an article database rather than using an article submitter or
multi-posting to a lot of different directories in one go. Use the same
article directory for a short duration of time, possibly up to a month, but
post several articles there as you create them. This way search engines
won’t look at your article content as being SPAM that has been posted to
every directory available. Doing it in this way search engines are more
likely to think the article was picked up and reused for it’s content.

By using article submitters you could be wasting all your time and
hardworking effort. Often it has been said that they fail to meet the right
category within a directory as well as being posted to un-hosted sites,
which in turn means your article could be anywhere. In addition to this
some submitters still require you to manually login to each directory, and
when posting to hundreds at a time this can take hours.

Be fussy about where you submit as this can be more important
sometimes than the article itself.

Always go for quality rather than quantity as there is so much garbage out
there that has merely been written for the sake of writing, plus you want
your articles to stand out rather than just become more run of the mill.
Be sure and research your chosen subject and try to be as original as
possible and write something fresh.

Finally you can always keep your own log online by adding your articles to
your blog website, and if you don’t have a blog just do a search as there
are quite literally hundreds of free one’s that you can join. Free
advertising at it’s best as search engines reference blogsites regularly
and will pick up on any new content.

Hey Clive - I'd like to add to that good bit of advice of yours.

1) Be sure to post your article on your own site FIRST - let it sit for about 40 - 72 hours before you submit it anywhere else. That way your site always will get the first credit for the content and that will aid your SEO.

2) Never stuff your article full of keywords just to get them in. Your article will have keywords and phrases in it just by virtue of the particular subject you are scribbling about. Also, google now has devices that can detect whether the content contains natural or pumped content and articles pumped with keywords will actually be descriminated against. You can thank thousands of keyword junkies for that one. I love it. I've always written with the idea of giving the reader something to read and now I have almost two years of original, and naturally written content on my site while others are having to tear down and start all over - the honest way. LOL.

Hi Sal,

What you say is also very true. Thanks for it's addition, but I think it would
do better for others to see as a separate piece of information that is
highly useful knowledge.

Thanks again...

Kind Regards

Nice article!

[TryUsOut]

Article marketing is really changing the way we do business on the net. Thanks for sharing.

[CliveAnderson]

Thank you for all your kind words and support for this
article.

However:

There is one part in my above statement that perhaps
I should add to.

There are some people who do in fact use Article
submitters and if I'm honest there are some pretty
good one's on the market as opposed to some of these
other so-called submitters, but as I say with all that
I write it is just my own personal preference not to
use one. Not for any other reason other than I just
never have.

Could call me a bit old school in that respect I guess.

And before anyone asks me which Article submitters
can be used, my answer is this:
I don't honestly know, but what I do know is there
is certainly a time and a place to use submitters
and most certainly not to gain a dependency on them.

Plus I know there are some out there that allow the
user to select where the articles should and should
not be placed. In my opinion, if you have to use one,
then use one that can offer you this alternative.

Food for thought I hope...

Kind Regards

Clive Anderson
P.S.
Know of any great submitters that you personally
have had good results with? Why Let Us Know!

Not necessarily article submitters, but Any!

As the chief editor of an article directory -article-gems.com I know this to be the case.

Some other suggestions - follow the directories rules - don't spam, and don't use computer programs to 'generate' your articles - they always look crap and I don't believe the Search engines like them at all.

I think the best articles are generated from the human brain without worrying about keyword placement, etc. If your topic is well written your main keywords will naturally fall into place and get you genuine readers and real traffic.

[alstar70]

P.S. if your going to use an article submitter - article-post robot does it with one click.

Clive,

Great post on why articles are so important. I just submitted my first article last night to several prominent sites, it was an interesting experience.

I would be interested in your technique for maintaining links in the text going from Word as a cut and paste in the article submission website, or do you just use a signature or resources to link back to your websites?

Again thanks for taking the time to publish this post it was very timely.

Thank you for your interest, I'm glad you found the article of benefit.

As for your question...

You may have already answered it yourself in a way. I tend generally
comply with whatever each Article site will allow.

I tend to have the variations all in place on my PC at the bottom of the
specific Article that I am going to place, this way it saves an awful lot
of time and all I have to do is copy and paste.

If the Article is not too long I will have a few variations of the whole
Article on the page.

I hope this goes some way to answering your question.

If you would like to know anything further please feel free to ask.

Kind Regards

Clive Anderson
