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.

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

- 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 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?

How do you do it free?

- Just start writing. You are in business and have to have some knowledge about your field. Write up an article or two or ten about your field.

- You can submit your article all over the internet to directories, blogs, ezines and more. If the directory publishes your article (which they usually do) you get a free one way link!

- Go to each directory that you can find and submit the article, it is time consuming but if you want to do this for free this is the way.

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.

Some services are scams, but the one I use does this:

- The first thing it does is blasts my article all over the internet. Thousands of sites will publish my article if it is on topic.

- 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.
