Everyone knows that the key to increasing traffic from the search engines rests in having lots of incoming links from relevant websites – preferably one way links. But how to get those precious one way links? Article Marketing is quite dynamic for doing just that.
The idea is that you can increase your exposure by having your content reproduced around the Internet. Your are rewarded with one-way incoming links from the resource box, you don’t have to reciprocate as you would with link exchanges, which in theory should reward you with better search engine ranking.
Having a process in place makes organizing article submissions so much easier and removes the confusion of where of what to do first. The following guide will take you through an article submission project step-by-step.
1. Before submitting your articles to directories, be sure to proofread them well. Make sure you have a catchy title and a by-line that compels readers to take action.
2. Use a text to html tool to format your by-line so that your URL will be clickable when your article is posted on a site.
3. Collect the information you’ll need for most submission sites including: title, author name, address, phone number, e-mail, website URL, topic, two line summary of the article, word count, line count, article URL, auto responder address (if available), document file names and 10-15 keywords.
4. Create a list of the type of submission sites appropriate for your article. I use EzineAnnouncer to collect and keep track of my submission list and I always write down the categories that are a match for my article. My latest submission qualified for more than 400 sites but your success depends upon your article topic.
5. Start submitting to article sites that support mail submission. Never send an attachment unless asked. Incorporate the entire article into the e-mail and include an option for the recipient to opt-out of your list.
6. Create accounts for all new submission sites on your list that require registration. Typically, you have to wait for a confirmation e-mail before submitting. You can move on to the next step while you wait.
7. Submit to all sites you have registered for and to all sites not needing registration but offering a submission form.
8. Check your e-mail, confirm your new accounts and visit those sites to add your articles. Keep track of your login and password for each site.
9. Update your submission list by removing or correcting bounced e-mail addresses and URL errors. You will also need to add your new submission sites to your list.
10. Make a report to keep on your computer with the name and URL of the sites you used for submission. Update this list when you submit your older articles to newly discovered sites.
Following the rules and regulations and gaining the trust and respect of forum members will be your key to your success. Build on these steps and you will find that your forum participation will be a pleasant and profitable one.
