What to Consider Before Submitting Your Articles Online

Copyright (c) 2006-2012
(See This Article in its Original Format.)

One of the most popular ways to attract website visitors today is by an distributing article with a link to the targeted site - included either in the article body or in the byline (aka Resource Box) - to online directories. If you head to your favorite search engine and research "submit your article" or "free content," you can find hundreds of sites willing to consider your article for publication so that they have fresh content on their sites - plus content for their clients' sites - on an ongoing basis.

However, posting articles can become very time consuming. So to make sure you make the most of your article writing and submission process, here are some factors to consider first.

1. Invest a little time for research and find out where the best sites are for your niches / topics. Ask on forums and with others in your fields of interest, and learn where your articles will receive the most exposure. Also make sure that sites that offer your article have the correct terms of reprint rights policies.

2. Determine Page Rank for each article site directory under consideration to learn how fast the site is growing and how well the database is maintained and kept fresh. The rank is important because your page rank will eventually be calculated by the rate of the website that has inbound links to your website. Check online for free ranking tools like one here: http://rankwhere.com/google-page-rank.php

3. If you submit articles regularly, article website content owners may consider special joint venture promotions with you. Might want to look into this.

4. Article directories might want to reward frequent publishers with specials. This can include additional low-cost or no-cost promotions for your article. So keep on the look out for special deals.

5. Posting articles needs to be thought out so that you get your article in the appropriate category. You also want to check the reputation and history of a content directory, to make sure you are putting your article in a place that will improve your reputation, and not damage it.

6. By getting your article published in a highly admired content site, your article may be published in more ezines and on more websites. This means more visitors through your resource box link.

There are several pieces of software that automate the process, and there are also places that will do this article submission service for you. Check around, ask on forums and try some to see which work best for you. Note that many content sites have banned particular automated software submissions because of inaccuracies and major problems with their experience using the software.

For example, many content websites will accept html, there are also many that totally ban it. Automatic software has been known to cause major errors with html error coding issues, causing major headaches for list owners and content site editors.


Resources
