If succeeding online is vital for you, then it is important that you make use of the various article directories available online today. These article directories offer a very worthwhile service to people like you and me.
The 5 main reasons why article directories are so vital to our success are as follows:
1 – Writing and submitting your articles to article directories is the best way to get massive free publicity for whatever your service or product is. Most article directories do not charge a fee for your submissions. There are a few that do, but I would never pay for article submissions when there are so many decent article directories available online.
2 – If you are looking to achieve top 10 search engine ranking, then submitting your articles to a large number of article directories is imperative. If you submit one or two articles to between 50 and a hundred article directories, you will find that your website slowly creeps up in the search engine rankings. And the higher your search engine ranking, the more traffic you will generate.
3 – Article directories are vital because they enable you to develop a reputation online as an expert. You see, the more directories you submit your articles to, the more sites you will have linking to your website and the better your site will be deemed to be. If you have all these websites linking back to yours then you must be an expert.
4 – Whenever you have a new product or a new service that you wish to promote online, using article directories is the best method available today of promoting it. Just get comfortable in your seat and crank out some articles about your new product and service. Submit these to the directories and hey, presto. Watch the traffic roll into your website.
5 – If you want to develop a relationship with your potential client or customer, then producing articles and submitting them to article directories is one of the best methods I know available today. Your potential customer will click on to your title and read your article. If they read to the end of your article, then it is more than likely that they like what they have read and will be interested in learning more about you and your services. They can then click on to your link and subscribe or become potential clients.
So those are the five reasons why article directories are so vital to your success, but not all article directories are equal. It is paramount that you choose only reputable directories, as some of them are next to useless at generating traffic for your website and creating back links.
Try to find out how many readers each of your directories have on a monthly basis. The larger the number, the better. Check Alexa to see where your article directory ranks against all other article directories.
And it is vital that you find out how long it takes for your articles to get approved. I know of some article directories that take two months to approve all submission. This is of no use to me or you because you are looking for a service that can turnaround your submission in a few days.
