Article
submissions are often used by webmasters in order to
gain one-way links back to their sites. The
exchange is quite simple. The webmaster who wrote
the article submits his/ her article for free for
anybody to use on the condition that the user links back
to his or her site. Most of the time that is done
through a short biography at the end of the article in
which the author describes his/ her areas of
specialization and credentials.
It would be very
time consuming to submit articles one by one.
Luckily, there are services out there that take care of
disseminating articles to various sources, so that your
primary function is only to write the article.
Once you're done, they take over and send the article to
thousands of sources on the Web.
Following is a
list of websites providing article submission services:
iSnare (According to their representations,
articles submitted are sent to over 40,000
publishers.)
GoArticles
(One of the oldest and most established article
directories on the Web.)
eZine Articles
(Same as above. A very established site.)
Guidelines to Keep in
Mind When Submitting Articles
Submitting articles is a good way to
gain back links. In order to optimize the number
of backlinks and the quality
of those back links, keep in mind the following
guidelines:
Try to
write quality articles that relate to the topic of
the site you are trying to promote. Reputable
sites or credible sites won't display your article
unless they feel it will enhance their site and
provide value to their readers. In simple
terms, it doesn't mean that an article is free that
people will use it.
Add
something new to the literature as opposed to only
repeating what's already out there. You want
to "contribute" and hope that in exchange for your
contribution, the webmaster that posts your article
on his/ her site will link back to you.
Most sites
that act as intermediary for article submissions
impose a maximum number of links that the article
can contain. Most links are contained in the
biography section at the end of the article where
the author describes himself or herself and his/ her
qualifications. Make sure to do your research
beforehand and target the right keywords.
Although
you can rely on those submission services, you
should also try to contact a few additional sites
that are established and offer your articles.
Some sites may not use those submission services, so
you should use both direct solicitation and
submission services to maximize the reach of your
articles. Since you already spent the time to
write those articles, it's worth it to go the extra
mile to give them as much exposure as possible.
