The Best Places To Submit Your Articles For Viral Traffic By: Terence Tan

If you've spent any time online trying to promote your website or business, you must have very likely realised that one of the most effective ways to generate tons of free targetted web traffic on a long term basis is to write your own informative articles and freely distribute them to other webmasters and ezine publishers for their use.
 

Some of the benefits of this amazing strategy include:
 

-it's totally FREE and gets links to your website distributed to a huge number of other related websites on a permanent basis…
 

…no need to pay for the links…
 

…no need to give a return link on your own website to other sites…
 

-The presence of your links in many other websites also directly increases your Google PageRank and increases the targetted free traffic you get from search engines!
 

-When people see your name and website/company in the bylines of the articles on different sites, you will naturally be thought of as an "expert" in that field…This increases your credibility and makes it more likely that your visitors will take your recommendations to them more seriously.
 

The purpose of this article is to seek to create a comprehensive list of places where writers can submit their articles for distribution…
 

By creating this list based on the contributions and "tip offs" of the visitors to HugeAffiliates.com, we hope to save you the large amounts of time searching the web for websites and article announcement services (yes, you can try to use google to search for "article submission sites" but you will waste precious time going through a lot of unrelated websites).
 

If you find this page useful, please bookmark it…and use it whenever you have new articles to distribute…we will continue to update it with the latest links as we get "tip offs" from our visitors.
 

If you have any links to suggest to us, please let us know using the "Contact Us" page on HugeAffiliates.com.
 

If you would like to reproduce this article and link resource in your website/ezine to increase your website's "stickability", please feel free to do so. (because of the convenience of finding all the possible submission sites on one page,many writers will bookmark your site if you have this resource on it…Go Ahead…Bookmark this page NOW!)

Building Link Popularity with Topical Articles By: Daria Goetsch

Just found this great article on link popularity.

One of the important factors in ranking high in search engine results is link popularity. It is not enough to just have the best website in the world–other sites have to point back to you. The thought is that if your site is good enough for others to link to you, then you must have a great site.How do I increase link popularity?Building link popularity is hard work. You've searched endlessly. You've sent every reciprocal link email you can think of. What else can you do? Surprisingly, writing articles on your topic can lead you to a wealth of link popularity.

What are the benefits of writing articles? Think about it. If you write articles, you get to use them on your website and you build your website content. You can also submit your articles to other sites. With both methods you get a lot in return:

You build your content. More is better when it comes to site content.

You promote your website. With more keyword-rich text on more pages, you will increase the number of pages indexed by the search engines.

Other websites link back to your website content. Sites focused on related topics link back to you.

You receive a link back to your website from the site you submitted the article to. Remember to include a link in all guest articles you submit.

You become an authority on your topic. Search engines reward sites with a larger number of inbound links from sites dealing with similar topics.

What do I write articles about?

The saying goes "write about what you know." Sometimes it takes thinking in a creative way to open the door to a new route for link popularity success. Think of what your visitors might be looking for. Why do they come to your site? What can you help them with when they arrive on your website? Answer their questions about your topic. We all search to find information, so give them what they are looking for.

So what are they looking for? That is easy enough to find out. Review your web server logs to see what keywords and phrases your visitors are using when they find your site through the search engines. Run your own searches using those keywords. What kinds of sites are returned in the search engine listings? Pay attention to visitor feedback. Know your visitors. Answer the questions they are asking, or even those questions they do not know yet to ask.

Most importantly, write because you have something to say. If in the process of building your content and inbound links, you benefit your readers with your content, all the better in terms of providing visitor satisfaction. This is the best reason to write, which is the way of the web, to seek out and share information.

Where do you put articles?

On your site. The first and obvious answer is to put them on your site. After all, you have all this knowledge; why not share it with your visitors? You may want to create an Articles page on your site. This will give you a place to put your articles, and any new ones that you write. Make sure to add this new page into your site navigation, and especially to add it to your sitemap page. Add a link to your main articles page on your sitemap, and a link to each new article on your articles page, and you are on your way to having your good content indexed. Make sure your visitors and the search engine robots can find your new pages.

Adding article content not only answers your visitors' questions, it adds to your website. Your visitors will have a richer experience with your site when there is more content. Not only can they buy the widgets you are selling, but they can also learn more about how to select widgets, exciting news from the world of widgets, and so on.

The more pages you add to your website, the better chance the already visiting search engine robots will also pick up your new pages to be indexed. More pages mean more links. Be sure to make an archive of your articles on your website. Always keep your pages in directories close to the root of your site for optimum indexing by the search engine robots.

Submit to the search engines. As always you will want to submit your new pages to the mainstream search engines and directories. In addition, look for specialized, topical directories that deal with your particular subject. There are also many general business directories available.

Submit guest articles. In addition to submitting your articles to the various search engines and directories, think about submitting the articles themselves. Submit your articles to sites that accept guest articles. It may take a little detective work to find some of these locations. You can start small, submitting to lesser-known portals seeking information on your topic. Some sites are focused on one topic; others need articles about all sorts of topics. Get searching and you should be able to come up with a healthy list of sites to submit to. Searching in Google and in categories in Yahoo! and ODP (Open Directory Project/Dmoz) would be helpful.

Once you are featured as a guest writer on a website, you will notice that most sites archive these articles. How many articles can you write? How many articles are archived and linked? How many different search engines indexed those pages? You get the idea.

Always include a bio of the author, article re-print instructions, copyright information and a link back to your website. Add an active link in your link text in your submission or request one for your listing. Be aware of dynamically generated pages–a static URL also increases the chance that the article you have submitted has the optimum chance of indexing by the search engine robots.

What if I don't write?

What if writing is just not your thing? You are in luck, because there are sites out there that have free content and articles available to you. When you add them to your site, you still build the content on your website.

Legitimate links, no spam
The best part is that your new links are all legitimate and not just junk links. You add important information to your site, and that is good for your visitors and good for your image. Naturally, using your keyword phrases in your Title/META tags and the text of your articles as you would in your regularly optimized pages makes sense for good search engine ranking.

It will pay off

Be creative when writing articles and submitting your content for linking, it takes hard work but will be worth it in the long run.

Take Control over your own Success

It is a sad aspect of live but not everyone is successful. In the world, we live in there are winners and losers. Most people want to be in the group of winners but unfortunately, many remain where they stand. As you well know, being successful means to stand above the others around you or to know more that the one sitting next to you does.Not being successful is simple: you make all the wrong choices, you work without ethics, you most likely lack responsibility and education is almost everything. Although it is not obvious, the lack of success is also a choice, but a choice that can be gained on the first try.You need to understand how to have more success than your colleague does and to work for success. Success does not come free or cheap, you have to pay for it. The price is not monetary but it is expressed in manners of time and effort, these being precious details that you cannot receive back once you gave them away. Success is hard. To be successful you have to work hard, be educated and have a little bit of luck. Often you have to try many times until you truly reach success.

Here is some practical advice on how to be successful:

- Alter your behavior and learn good manners.

- Always read, always learn and always communicate.

- Build up a purpose in life, create a plan and go on living by it.

- Cherish everything you have and get.

- Find out more, be responsible, learn about control and always stay informed.

- Give up watching so much television, or playing games.

- Give up bad habits and keep the good ones: eat well and regularly, get enough sleep, go to a gym or just go jogging.

- Keep your sense of humor but do not become rude.

- Try to work more in the shortest possible periods of time.

- Think and act fast when faced with an opportunity. If you see what you really want, do not let any chances pass you by. This one might just be the last you will get.

Anyone and everyone can have success but you just need to grab it for yourself in leaps or small steps or any way you can.

What can you do to prevent your website from being cut out of the search engines.

What can you do to prevent your website from being cut out of the search engines and how can articles help you do that.

It is not a secret any more, that the search engines are cutting of the websites that are made with many of the "push button software" that spits out websites that have little or no value for the visitors.

Marketing needs a new more organic way to grow and prosper and the good news is that there is a way that you can use. In the sense of getting, your websites up in ranking where you want them to be and keep the rankings you have worked so hard to get. Do you know how articles can increase your traffic & search engine ranking?

It is not a secret any more either, that submitting articles can increase your traffic and search engine ranking. It does not hurt though to know a little more about how to do that and what to look out for in that process.

My advise to you, if you have websites that are built with the software I have already mentioned is to at least add articles to your website to make them more valuable and less vulnerable to the search engines cutting knife. You need to take your websites to the next level and recycle them, remove the footprints that the software and the direct out of the box template, leaves and add value.

You can do this. How will you do that? By modifying and making, the sites unique in any way you can. Well sites that do not have the footprints that the software and templates leave are less likely to get penalized so you need to find a way to get your unique customized templates and add value to your sites.

Articles will add value to your website. You can write articles and put them on your website, better yet put a article section to your website. If you don't want write your own articles, that is not a problem there are thousands of article directories that can provide you with articles you can publish at your website or blog.

This also gives you another opportunity. You can market your business with articles by submitting your articles to those same article directories to get them published on other people's websites. It will also drive traffic to your sites and you don't have to relay on search engine traffic alone.

Article marketing is a great way to reach your targeted customers, get inbound links and make get your sites ranking up. Actually you need both you need to use articles or related content on your sites to make them more relevant to your topic. It is a little more to this than can be said in one small article, so I have put together a website that is a collection of articles that can show you the ropes and teach you what you need to know to succeed with article marketing.

Considering that English is not, my first languish and this is one of my first articles (I admit that it is not the best work you see). I am still learning the ropes and wanted to share with you my resources so to speak. Considering all this, just imagine what you can do.
