The Benefits of Article Submission
I talk about this all the time, but I really wanted to outline the benefits of article submission. I think it may be the best way in the world right now to market businesses. If you think about it I almost guarantee you could not get the following for free:
- Articles are viral marketing. Webmasters are all over the internet looking for articles to add to their website as content. Each time they do this they have to link back to you.
- The links they add are counted as votes for your website being relative to the keywords you choose in your anchor text.
- You move up in the search engine for each vote you get from websites using your article.
- When your website reaches the number one position for a keyword that is searched frequently you get to display an ad to those people. The volume of people seeing that ad is greater than you could hit with any single advertisement unless you are advertising in the Superbowl.
The best part of article submission is that it can be done for free. I mean quite literally you could advertise to the largest market of consumers on earth, and do it 100% free. What better way to market a business.
So if you submit articles how do you do it free?
- Start by writing articles. If you are in business this should not be too hard, hopefully you know something about your business.
- There are thousands of article directories, blogs, and other places that are hungry for the content and will give you a link for letting them use it.
- Go to each directory that you can find and submit the article, it is time consuming but if you want to do this for free this is the way.
Sounds like a lot of work! Let me tell you what I do. I use a service that will submit articles for you, and it is better than any submission software.
The service I use does the following:
- The first thing it does is blasts my article all over the internet. Thousands of sites will publish my article if it is on topic.
- When this site sends out my article they send out unique versions of it. They do this by having me submit 3 versions of the same article. Then they mix up my versions even more and distribute them. This way each site can have their own version which makes my article more valuable to them, and the links more valuable to me.
- They also have a tested strategic method of submitting articles so that the search engines give them more value. I hate wasting any time so this is just what I need.
- Best of all it is automatic. I write the articles, submit once and the site takes care of the rest.
To sum it up article submission can be free, and it is the best way to market your business. If you do have some money to invest in marketing spend about thirty bucks a month and use a service that does the hard part for you. Then all you have to do is write like me.
