Article Marketing Part-7
Figuring out where to submit your articles to
It’s up to you whether you want to submit your articles to as many sites as is humanly possible, or whether you want to focus on just two or three.
If you subscribe to the theory that Google penalizes all duplicate articles and you don’t want that to happen, then submit each article to one site only. You will then need to rewrite each one for each separate directory you want to target.
Since you need to create a new account at every article directory you want to submit to, it can actually be quite a task to get started with more than a couple anyway.
It’s up to you which sites you want to focus on, but there are a few you absolutely should not miss out on. The first is Ezine Articles.com, which is undoubtedly the most popular one as far as Google is concerned. Buzzle.com is another good bet, and Search Warp.com would be my third pick. If you start with these three, you can then add more as and when you feel able to.
But these always tend to rank rather well in the search engines, and if you want your articles to receive the best possible degree of attention, you’ll want them to be on page one of those results and no lower down if possible.
Don’t dismiss the thought of using article directories that are dedicated to the specific subject you are writing about though. For example, there are a few medically related article directories out there which only publish articles on those subjects. You will find that these directories tend to attract less in the way of traffic, but the people who do use them have a definite interest in that subject, so you are more likely to get more interest in what you have written as a result.
And possibly more click-throughs to your website as well.
To find these sites, simply go to Google or another search engine of your choice and type in something along the lines of “[subject] article directory”, replacing the [subject] part with your choice of subject. Try it with and without those quote marks too.
If you can add one or two specialist directories to the mix like this, you may well get even more impressive results.
