Article Submission on Sterioids

By Brent Sweet

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:

- Just the pure viral nature of articles. There are people all over the internet looking to add content to their sites, and if they use your aritlce they have to link to you.

- The links they add are counted as votes for your website being relative to the keywords you choose in your anchor text.

- The anchor text and vote count towards moving your site up in the search engines.

- If you can get your website to the number one position for a good keyword you are displaying your ad for free to more people that most newspapers would circulate to!

The fantastic part of article submission and marketing is that it doesn't cost a thing to do. You can hit the largest market of consumers for nothing. Most people when they are looking for something go where first? The search engines, I venture to say they go there before going to the store. Is there really a better place to be marketing?

So how can you submit articles free?

- First off you yourself write articles. You have to know a little bit about your topic, but if you are in business surely you know about the topic.

- 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.

- Next you just go to article directories, ezines or whatever you can find, and submit your article so they can publish it. It may take some time, but like I said before this is the best free marketing you can get.

There are some submission softwares out there that might speed up the process, but doing this for free is a lot of work. I personally, use a service that does the submissions for me, it is so much better than the software you find.

Here is what it does:

- Submits my article to thousands of directories, blogs and ezines. As long as it is on topic for that specific directory it is submitted.

- 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.

- Has a unique method to make sure the search engines give me the most for my article submission. I hate wasting time, so this is important to me.

- Best of all it is automatic. I write the articles, submit once and the site takes care of the rest.

To conclude, if you are looking for a great way to market your business, article submission is the way to go. If you have a little money to invest, your best investment would be the thirty bucks a month it costs to have professionals submit them like I do. - 15359
