The Benefits of Article Submission

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.

- The links they add are counted as votes for your website being relative to the keywords you choose in your anchor text.

- 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 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?

So how can you submit articles free?

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

- 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!

- Next you just go to article directories, ezines or whatever you can find, and submit your article so they can publish it. It may take some time, but like I said before this is the best free marketing you can get.

Sounds like a lot of work! Let me tell you what I do. I use a service that will submit articles for you, and it is better than any submission software.

The service I use does the following:

- 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.

- 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. - 16738
