40,000 Publishers Want To Read About Your Product: The Art of Article Submissions

Article submissions are one of the most overlooked ways to not only drive traffic to your web site, but also to build up quality back links. Although it may seem like a lot of work, article submissions are actually much easier than you might think.

The first step to submitting an article is writing one.

Even though you should write an article related to the topic of your web site, you need to make sure it’s an original one. If you submit articles straight from your web site, your search engine rankings may be lowered due to a duplicate content penalty.

Since these articles will automatically be submitted, you don’t need to put as much work into them as you would for a piece of link bait, but you should still strive to write a quality article that will be interesting to readers.

Once you have written your article, it’s time to submit it. Although you can do this manually, it is much easier to use an article distribution service.

Currently, the best way to distribute an article is through iSnare. Not only does iSnare submit your article to over 40,000 publishers, but it also allows you to have three links at the bottom of your article with the anchor text of your choice. Keyword rich anchor text is one of the most effective ways to improve your ranking in Google for your desired keywords.

Keyword targeted anchor text also helps increase the amount of readers that click the links and visit your web site.

In addition to iSnare, you should submit your articles to other web sites. EzineArticles and GoArticles are two highly respected article directories. You can submit to these directories for free, and although they do not personally distribute any articles, many publishers rely on these web sites for their content.

All three directories require that publishers leave your back links intact when republishing your articles.

If you thinking that this service must be extremely expensive, you are wrong! iSnare offers their distribution service for two dollars or less per article. If you have a lot of articles to distribute, you can become a Platinum member and distribute over two hundred articles per month for only sixty dollars.

If you’re tired of low traffic and poor search engine rankings, article submissions could be the best investment you make for your web site!
