How Many Article Marketing Directories Should I Submit My Article To?
Written by admin on Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 in Article Marketing.
There are an ever increasing number of article directories springing up, attemting to take advantage of the popularity that has become of writing articles as a form of web promotion and have in the past even used a manual article submission service. I have seen many people on various article marketing forums asking as to how many article directories they should be submitting their articles to and which ones. In this article I write about the article directories which I use.
EzineArticles
The first directory that I ever posted an article to was the ever popular ezinearticles. It has only been around a year but I have to say that it seems like about five years. This directory was recommended to me by a friend who is a jobs in foster care expert and he also offers Voucher Codes. In my opinion is certainly one of the best. Each article is reviewed before being accepted, this is not true of many of the other directories, especially the newer sites.
When you search for the title of your article a few days after it has been accepted in for example the search engine google, you are normally able to see it highly placed in the results. One of the first articles I submitted was called stuttering and its effects, this article is still placed in the top ten of google after many months.
If you are only planning on submitting your article to one directory this is the one I would advise that you use.
Goarticles
Many people, including a business contact who writes articles about obtaining cheap calls, have told me that they prefer to use goarticles when looking for an article to add to their site. For this reason alone, I always ensure that I submit my article to this directory.
Articlealley
The thing I like about articlealley is that they also include the article you submit to them on one or two of the sister sites. This is without you needing to do any extra work. Additional exposure is always good.
Articledasboard
I been reading on some of the SEO forums that this particular directory could be the next “big thing”; I will keep my eye on its progress. The site has a page rank of six which is always a good sign.
Ideamarketers
This directory is my fifth choice in order of merit and has many interesting articles.
It is hard to know how many of these directories people should be submitting their article to. I have been given lots of different advice on this subject and have decided to come up with my own conclusion. I personally normally submit my articles to around twenty of these sites but always the five above.
