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.

Our company has been using article marketer for more than three years straight now, and aside from hosting, I would have to say it is the most important tool in our SEO tool box!

***Note: This may seem like blatant advertising, but the fact is that every word is true and it is what compelled me to write this review. If you write articles, you should heed this advice…***

Article Marketer is an automated online article submission system that will submit your articles to thousands of article directories automatically. You don’t even have to sign up for the directories to use it, just login to Article Marketer and submit. Period. It’s simple, effective and we love it!

AM is an online based software, which as you may have noticed from our own software like NextGenLinks.com, is how we prefer it. This means it works for any browser and you can use it from any computer even when you’re travelling and don’t feel like firing up your laptop, just pop into an internet cafe, write up a quick article and submit it.

The Article Marketer system is designed to help us submit our articles to as many article directories as possible and save alot of time in the process. In fact, we have calculated that it saves us hundreds of hours of work per week!

For example, if it takes us about one minute to submit to an article directory (longer depending on the article directory), we can theoretically submit to 60 directories in an hour. To submit to all of the directories in the Article Marketer list, it would take us a little over 88 hours per article.

Using AM we’ve been able to condense this down to about 30 minutes to submit several articles every day. Granted we don’t do all of our own article writing, we do outsource some of it, but you can’t imagine how much traffic comes in every day just from the articles we have distributed all over the internet. It’s by far our favorite and most effective method of promotion.

Here’s what we like most about Article Marketer:

1. It’s very simple to use. the interface is straight forward, plenty of help tips along the way that help not only with the submission process, but also with the article writing process, which is important to us since we’re outsourcing alot of the work. It means less explaining on our part…

2. It’s completely automated. Nuff’ said!

3. They have real people that review each of our articles and make sure theyt comply with every article directory so we’re sure that it will be accepted by almost all of them, over 5,000 directories and adding more all the time.

If the article does not comply, they don’t just disapprove like most, they tell you exactly why and how to fix it. All of this happens in just a day or two…

4. Delayed or timed released distribution, which means they slowly distribute the article to all of the article directories over time, that’s very important. Once distributed, they offer great reports as to where they have been distributed and which Search engines they appear on.

And finally…

5. The results. This service is very effective, it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it every time!

In conclusion..

Article Marketer is for any author or webmaster who wants to get the best results possible from their articles and get the most traffic in return. It’s very easy to use and anyone, even those new to the internet can start using it right away.

It all comes down to how much your time is worth to you. We love automated tools because they save us lots of time, but it’s not even the time they save us, because honestly, without the tools we probably just wouldn’t do it…

Bottom line, if you write or have articles written for you, you need a great submission service to complete the cycle, we recommend Article Marketer.

If you don’t, start now! Really, start writing and submitting articles NOW! You won’t regret it and you can come back here and thank me later…

The interesting thing about building quality backlinks is that many marketers start out strong and then die off after a while. This is not a fault, just a break from the tedious task of constantly working on establishing more and more links to the pages of a website. If your marketing efforts started out in a sprint and article submission websites were part of that campaign, you could have a great source for deep links under your nose.

On many article submission websites, the articles published can be edited at any time. These edited articles will often be placed back in the editing queue, which means a bit of a delay before the new version is published, but that is no problem when compared to writing a whole new article.

Why Edit a Published Article?

When you first published the article to the submission website, you probably had fewer pages on your site. Or, maybe the keyword research was lacking and you just stuck any keyword in the resource box linking back to your home page. The article can be edited both for content and to refresh that resource box which is where the back link is often located.

Content can be edited for a variety of reasons. Maybe you knew little about keyword density or you want to refresh the content published to reflect changes in the article topic. Refreshing content with up to date information is a great way to revive old, stagnant article directory submissions.

Editing the resource box begins with a relevant keyword. The keyword you now use regularly is the one that your search for when testing your SERP. This keyword, or phrase, is the same one that needs to be hyperlinked in your resource box. This keyword does not, however, need to utilize the same URL in every box. Take a look at the example below:

Resource Box 1: To learn more about <a href=”http://yourwebsitename.com/page2″>one way links</a> Your Website Name can help.

It is the power of <a href=”http://yourwebsitename.com/page10″>backlinking</a> that means you can Get More Traffic tomorrow.

This resource box uses two different keyword phrases and two different URLs directed at the main website. The URLs are deep which means they are not leading to the main page, but rather they are leading to one of the inner pages of the website.

The resource box can remain the same on several articles with a simple change to the inner page URL for other articles. By changing up the resource boxes on your article directory submissions, there is equal link love to all of the pages of your website.

A Huge Task For One Person

An established website with several layers of pages may have a bit of trouble keeping track of all the pages that need links on the web. Building backlinks is a slow process that requires quality over quantity and a strong sense of accounting methods. A backlink building company may be able to help make the process easier and more effective by tracking ALL of the pages on your website and the number of links established for each page (especially the deep pages).
