Free Traffic From Article Directories

by Myself

There are thousands of web sites across the internet that will allow you to submit your articles for free to promote your site, ideas, blog, or business. A good place to start is topwebsitetips.com, which has a free list of around 44 such sites. The web site beansoftware.com has a list of over 200 free article submission sites.

Most web sites are more than happy to receive your article and post it on their site. Other web sites offer blogs, forums, or comment pages which allow you to do about the same thing. This type of service is increasing in popularity as people are becoming more concerned about search engine optimization for their web sites.

The theory behind the drive is that the more links that exist to your web site from a variety of different domains around the web, the more popular your site is rated to be by the search engines. So, if you submit your weekly articles or blog posts to hundreds of sites for syndication and republication, then after a year or two of regular posting, you will have thousands of back links to your site. SEO firms promise these kinds of results in a matter of weeks or months. The key to this type of campaign is repeatability. You must constantly keep syndicating and promoting the site to keep the results improving.

Article submission sites have the advantage that you are not dependent on other people or we sites to post reviews or links to your site, you can do it yourself, sometimes even with automatic submissions. Software and paid services exist that will submit your article to hundreds of sites online, either for free or for a small fee. If you need quick results, or are publishing to these sites as part of a larger SEO campaign on the web, then they are sure to be useful.

The best way to look at these types of article submission sites, is to see them as another form of syndication. You may already syndicate your site’s content through RSS feeds, submitting your blog posts or articles through these channels may be more effective. They are also recommended for clients who need a channel heavily syndicated in multiple formats. You may also like to analyze and target directly the audience of each of the specific site you will be posting to, in order to communicate more effectively. You may create different versions of the same media content to address the unique character of each site.

How much you can control the design of your articles through these services may vary. Each site may have different filters and requirements for posts. So unless you are using only basic text articles with simple titles and no images or video, or you are not concerned about the output, you will need to post each article manually. Otherwise, you article with a complex Javascript banner, images, buttons, and links may not display properly across all of the submission sites. To play it safe, work only with plain text for article submission sites you post to automatically.
