Article Directories and Your Articles

Article marketing can provide your Internet marketing efforts with a much-needed boost by leading a large number of additional Internet users to your site.  Sending a few high-quality articles per week to different article directories is recommended.  Follow the regulations that article directories set, such as the maximum number of allowable article submissions per day or week.

There are numerous article directories on the Web you can send your new articles to.  You can submit your content to two types of directories: some of the top article directories, and directories that are oriented towards your niche.  To do the latter, enter your keywords and the phrase ‘ezine directory’ into Google’s search box.

Here are some of the top article directories on the Internet:

•    www.myarticlenetwork.com
•    www.ezinearticles.com
•    www.goarticles.com
•    www.articlebase.com
•    www.articlecity.com
•    www.articledashboard.com
•    www.ideamarketers.com
•    www.isnare.com
•    www.searchwarp.com
•    www.selfgrowth.com

Remember to check and recheck your articles for any errors in spelling, grammar, structure, etc.  Running a spell check on each article, as well as verifying that your links are correct, will give you a better chance at marketing your articles.

Manually submitting articles to the directories one by one may prove to be tiresome after the first few times.  Using article submission software, which you can find on the Net for free, will save you much time and effort, as well as minimizing errors due to oversight.

The Article Submitter from Brad Callen is a viable alternative.  The software automatically completes the required information for you.  What you need to do would be to click on the ‘submit’ button to send the information, and Article Submitter continues to the next website.  The aforementioned software saves time while displaying the Page Rank rating of the sites you send your articles to.

For a more automated article submission process, articlemarketer.com or isnare.com are recommended.  These article submission websites give you the ability to disseminate your articles via article directories much more quickly and easily.

What you get from Isnare and Articlemarketer come at a price.  The rates vary according to the number of articles, with Isnare charging for every 5 articles, and Articlemarketer requiring a yearly fee of 9.  Articlemarketer’s yearly fee enables you to send an unlimited amount of content for submission to directories and other sites.  The site also hosts a no-cost account, which can send your articles to a sizeable number of sites.

If you are just starting with article marketing, or have to work on a small budget, Isnare may work for you.  Otherwise, the My Article Network account is highly recommended.
