Since your main goal is to get more traffic, you’ll want to use your content in as many different ways as possible. It’s no use to just write an article one time, submit it to one directory, and expect to get traffic. It’s a much better use of your time to use your content in more than one way. After all — you still own the article.

In fact, many people are finding that it actually increases their rankings greatly if they use the same article at more than one article directory. There is some debate about this, so you might find that you want to rewrite it a little bit before submitting it to another directory. Still, this saves you a lot of time.

Create a new resource box as well with different links targeting your top keywords for each directory you submit to.

Three article submission services that have grown to get a lot of respect over the years are:

Isnare: Submits to many publishers for a very reasonable price.

ArticleMarketer Service: Offers a free trial. Definitely worth trying just for that reason. It is our favorite submission service.

UniqueArticleWizard: This is great if you are concerned about duplicate content.

Beware signing up with other services until you check them out. These three are respected and updated constantly.

You should also take the content that you submitted to the directories and put it on your own website first. This updates your site and shows the search engines that you are constantly adding new content.

Adding new content often helps you get “spidered” (visited by the search engines) more frequently. The more frequently you are spidered, the faster you can rank for new content and the faster you can make money.

It’s true — content and links really do make the web go round. The more content and links you have on your websites, the more chances you have to get traffic. People are on the web to find information so be sure to offer them lots of quality articles on your websites and lots of links to find you with.

There are webmasters who think that they can boost their search engine rankings and get tons of article directory visitors to their site just by submitting an article or two. If only this were true. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case at all. You need to sustain an active level of submission to stay at the top of the search engines.

That doesn’t mean you need to spend your life writing articles. As long as you’re consistent in your efforts and don’t stop at just a few articles you’ll likely see great results. Still, those who submit many articles over a long period of time usually see higher levels of traffic.

You’ll find that the number of articles you need to submit really depends on the niche you’re in. There are some niches out there where just one or two articles a month will do. There are other niches where it’s ultra-competitive, so you’ll need to submit more articles, more often.

Here at NextGenlinks.com we suggest to try and submit 1-2 articles per week, every week. If that’s too much, then shoot for 2-4 articles per month, every month. The key is to be consistent.

We use ArticleMarketer.com to submit our articles and we have seen tremendous success, we highly recommend their services.

One of the most important article marketing tips you can follow is to focus on your author’s resource box. This is your “take” for your site, whereas the actual article body is your “give” to the directory.

Your author’s resource box should contain a compelling reason for people to continue on to your website. You may talk a little about yourself, but it really has to be more about the reader and what he/she wants.

For example, if your website is offering a solution for people that need links, you want to give them a reason to visit. Clearly, you need to let them know that you have the answer they are looking for in order to get them to visit your website.

A huge part of crafting a great resource box is including one or more links to your website. Different directories have different rules about this, but the standard is to allow you to include two links. You want to surround these links in what is called “anchor text.” This is simply a way for you to name the link to let the search engines know exactly what your site is about.

Here is an example author’s box that we use on some of our submissions:
*********************************************************************

We use www.NextGenlinks.com It’s a revolutionary new white-hat software
that builds relevant, deep links to all of the pages of your site on auto pilot!”
NextGenlinks.com is the ONLY link building software program that is designed
to create high quality, relevant, one way links to EVERY page on your site
Resulting in hundreds of TOP TEN listings in Google, Yahoo & MSN.

*********************************************************************

In this resource box we have added two links, one which is targeting the keyword “www.NextGenLinks.com” – because many people search for our site by name -  and one targeting a long tail keyword phrase “link building software program“.

The html for these links would look like this:

<a href=http://www.nextgenlinks.com>www.NextGenlinks.com</a>

and

<a href=http://www.nextgenlinks.com>link building software program</a>

The html for the entire resource box would look like this:

*********************************************************************

We use <a href=”http://www.NextGenlinks.com”>www.NextGenlinks.com</a> It’s a revolutionary new white-hat software
that builds relevant, deep links to all of the pages of your site on auto pilot!”
NextGenlinks.com is the ONLY <a href=”http://www.NextGenLinks.com”>link building software program</a> that is designed
to create high quality, relevant, one way links to EVERY page on your site
Resulting in hundreds of TOP TEN listings in Google, Yahoo &amp; MSN.

There are many article directories, but not all of them are worth your time. Since you’re trying to get traffic to your website, you want to find the very best ones. It can be hard to choose since the search engine’s “love” for these directories seems to change all the time. Still, there are a few that you can always count on.

These include:

EzineArticles.com
GoArticles.com
ArticleDashboard.com
Buzzle.com

If you open an account at these different directories and start a regular submission schedule, you’ll find that you start getting visitors to your website.

Since these are people who are looking for exactly what you’re offering, your conversions should be great as well.

If you can afford to pay for article submissions, we use and highly recommend ArticleMarketer.com. Their service is affordable and is the most effective we’ve found.

There are many people who think that in order to rank highly in search engines, they need to stuff their keyword in their article an excessive amount of times. This is definitely not the best way to attract readers or get traffic to your website.

The search engines are also getting smarter and they know when you’re trying to game them.

It is much better to weave your keywords in more naturally. This will serve both the search engines and your readers. There is no set keyword density that works well, but many experts suggest you stick to around 2% or less. That means for every hundred words you would include the keyword about 2 times.

Remember — the search engines can tell if you’re trying to stuff your keyword in your article. Their main goal is to provide a good user experience for people who use their search engine, and your main goal is to get people to your website.

It makes sense, then, that you would strive to provide good content that the search engines will like and that people find useful when they visit your website.
