Article Submission: The benefits

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:

- Articles become viral several webmasters use them to add content to their site and each time they do it they link to you.

- Each link you receive from a different website from your article efforts can actually be counted like a vote for your website for the words that you use in your link.

- The text in your link are the key words that you move up for in the search engine each time you get a link.

- If you rank at the top of the search engines you are displaying a free ad to more people that most newspapers circulate to.

The best part of article submission is that it can be done for free. I mean quite literally you could advertise to the largest market of consumers on earth, and do it 100% free. What better way to market a business.

So if you submit articles how do you do it free?

- Start by writing articles. If you are in business this should not be too hard, hopefully you know something about your business.

- 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.

- After you have written some articles, you go to each directory, ezine, blog and submit your article for publication. Hey its going to take some time, but remember this is free.

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.

The service I use does the following:

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

- Each version of my article that is sent out is unique. The way this is done is I reword each paragraph 3 times. Then they take that and mix them up more so I have more unique versions. Since each site can get their own unique version it gets published more.

- The site I use also has a special tested method that makes the search engines pick up and count my articles more effectively. I hate to waste any time, especially my own, so this is a huge benefit.

- Most of all I save all that time submitting, this is automatic. The only steps for me is write and submit.

To sum it up article submission can be free, and it is the best way to market your business. If you do have some money to invest in marketing spend about thirty bucks a month and use a service that does the hard part for you. Then all you have to do is write like me.
