How Free Article Directories Help Your Online Biz

Using article submission /directory sites is a great way to help your business. You can use it once and have it pay you back several fold. I’ll explain how five minutes of your time submitting and a short time writing (or small fee paid to have an article written) can make your business more effective and more profitable.

If you have something to sell or a service to provide, writing articles that target your keywords is a really good idea. These articles can have a hard sell, can be informational or can provide enough interest to pique someone’s curiosity and encourage them to learn more. You can convert readers of your articles into customers and you can use those articles to get you great SEO results, too.

Your articles can be syndicated throughout the web and be published in many places. Article marketing is a great form of viral marketing.

In your articles, your link directs people back to your blog, your online store, your website and maybe even your affiliate link or e-book that’s for sale. This article will do multiple things for you. First of all, it helps you with your search engine rankings or SEO. You anchor words that you want to be your target keywords to your desired URL. The human readers click though and the search engine spiders read these links and this propels your website higher in the ranks.

Not only will people reading the articles have the ability to click through to your website but you will also have organic search engine results that can propel you to the top of the rankings for your keywords.

If you write the articles well, you can get some great results. Perhaps you’ll want to hire an seo writer such as myself to help you. Many of my clients use my articles on article directories and some pay me to submit on their behalf to help them with their marketing and seo.

Some successful internet marketers use these articles for bum marketing and to help them with their own SEO for their websites as well as to help them be considered an expert in their niche. I’ve seen great success from free article directories. Don’t let the fact that you submit them and don’t get paid for them in instant dollars or pounds turn you off. In reality, the small investment of writing these articles or paying to have them written can pay off substantially in the short term.

There are dozens of free article submission sites including:

www.ezinearticles.com

www.goarticles.com

www.articleson.com

www.1888articles.com

and many others. Some sites have differing results with google and at the moment, www.ezinearticles.com is considered the most effective option. There are requirements and limitations of what you can write about and your links so be sure to read the fine print so your articles are not rejected. Be sure to use SEO skills when writing them as well with effective keyword placement and keyword density.

Writing for article directories and posting your own work online is a great way to be sure you’re building a name for yourself, creating buzz and seo rankings for your website and utilising a free service in a way that can help you become successful very quickly.
