In this series of Article Marketing, we have discussed:

1. How To Increase The Traffic To Your Website With Blog Postings
2. How To Write An Article Headline That Compels Readers to Take Action
3. How To Write An Effective ‘non-selling’ Resource Box

So now we are ready to promote your articles for maximum traffic.

Where are you going to submit them? Which sites?

How often should you promote to the Article Directories?

But before you start submitting, you need to decide how you are going to submit.

I’ve tried 3 different ways to submit articles to directories:

1.    Do it yourself
2.    Outsource
3.    Software

Up until 6 months ago, I used to submit my articles to 8 or so Article Directories myself. Each week I would take the time and manually submit.

Then I decided it was taking too much of my time, so I outsourced the submission process. I created a couple of training videos, passed them over to the outsourcing company and they took over the submission process. Which freed my time up to do other things. It worked extremely well.

Nowadays, my wife and I work together and she helps with the submission process and we have invested in the software Article Announcer. If you submit regularly, the software really speeds things up and can save you a lot of time.

How Often Should You Submit To The Article Directories?

In order to generate the most traffic to your site, it is best to submit your articles in a consistent manner.

I would recommend between one and three a week and on different days. Try not to do more than one submission per day to the same Article Directory.

Some of the Article Directories think you’re spamming if you send too many in one go.

Powerful Tip: Ensure the search engines have indexed your postings on your site first, before you go submitting to other Article Directories. You want the search engines to find the posting on your site first, not the Article Directory.

Where to Submit

So where do you submit all your newly written articles?

There are literally hundreds of Article Directories you could submit to. I tend to submit mine to the top, most popular ones and also some niche ones (do a Google search for your keyword phrase plus ‘Ezine directory’).

Here’s the top Article Directories and this is where I submit mine:
