• Submit Your Article also reaches newsletter publishers like we do, but at smaller numbers. To enhance their service, they have added a few key article directories to their distribution list.


• Isnare distributes primarily to other article directories.

• Understand the nuances that separate one article from another article.


• Understand the nuances between what the publisher or webmaster really wants and what you have in front of you.


• Understand what keywords best describe an article.


• Understand how to best describe an article in the description.

1. While we can guarantee to get your articles to the people who have chosen to receive articles for consideration, we cannot guarantee how many people will actually use an article.
   
   There are many factors that will affect the reprint usage of an article:
   
   
   • Title of an Article - Your title determines whether your article will be considered. It is the hook that will get your article read. It must be timely, accurate, and on the mark for what interests that publisher, webmaster or reader in that instant.
   
   
   • Description of Article - If a person likes the title, they will frequently read the article description. It is the job of the description to accurately tell what the article is about.
   
   
   • First Paragraph of Article - Frequently, the first paragraph of the article is the same as the description. The first paragraph of the article is your chance to establish the topic and flow of the article.
   
   
   • Body of Article - Your article body must maintain the initial excitement the reader had when they opened your article. It is so easy to get bored within the body of the article and then move off to another task.
     
     TIP: Short paragraphs help keep your reader interested when writing for the Internet. Long paragraphs on a computer monitor creates eye-strain and breaks the readers concentration.
   
   
   • Resource Box of Article - I am always surprised at the number of publishers who look at an author's website, before they make the final decision on using an article. Websites that are short on useful information tend to be the casualties in this game.
   
   
   • Timing of Article - In order to get people to read articles, certain usage patterns must be watched. On Monday, publishers are digging through and deleting all of the Spam email in the mailbox. On Friday afternoons, people already have their minds set on their plans for the weekend.
     
     We do not want your articles to be accidentally deleted when people are deleting their spam, so we never distribute an article between Friday at 3pm EST and Monday at 10am PST. And, we only schedule articles for distribution during weekday business hours.
   
   
   • Schedule of Publisher - We never truly know what is happening at the other end of the transaction. A publisher or webmaster may be swamped handling other tasks, and they have to limit their time dedicated to selecting the right articles. The publisher might only publish a certain number of articles each week, and they have already filled their quota for this week. Great articles are sometimes overlooked, and there is not much we can do to change that outcome, except to store that article on our site for possible use later.
   
   
   • How We Handle HTML Formatting - Most distribution channels prohibit distributing articles with embedded keywords in the anchor text, and they generally forbid the use of HTML in the article completely. We make articles available in HTML and Text formats.
     
     When we send the article to our publishers, we include a link that points back to your article on our website. On that page, the person choosing to reprint your article can get a HTML-ready copy of the article for use on their website. About 10% of webmasters who use the articles we distribute do use the HTML copy of the articles.

2. Most Article Distribution Companies Have Unique Distribution Networks
   
   While my competitors might reach some of the same people our service will reach, most publishers and webmasters only take articles from one or two distribution services.
   
   (We generally reach at least 28,000 publishers and webmasters. When our system distributes an article, our software will send you a copy of the actual distribution and a copy of our TPW Distribution Report. The Distribution Report will show you how many people were subscribed to receive your article through that particular distribution.)
   Each service pretty much has their own article distribution lists set up, and the various article submission services do not use the same distribution lists, as a general rule.
   
   While there might be a little bit of overlap, there certainly is not a lot of overlap between the various services.
   
   This is the very reason why a number of our clients also use additional distribution services to maximize the reach of their articles.
   
   Other article distribution services we recommend in addition to our own:
   
   
   • Ezine Trendz - Very similar to our own service, except they reach about 500 publishers directly who are interested in receiving Business Articles only.
   
   
   • Submit Your Article - By subscription only. Fully Automated.
   
   
   • Isnare - Fully automated program.
   
   
   Each of these article submission services have unique groups of people, who accept articles from them. So, for our clients who want to get the widest possible distribution for their articles, using all four of these programs makes good sense.
