What is Article Submission?
Article Submission is a powerful method of gaining quality one-way incoming links to the client’s
site and has become standard in website search engine optimization strategies.
Every good webmaster knows the power of original, unique content. Getting the unique content
distributed online so that the client’s website and links can be seen by a greater audience is vital.
After submitting the unique article to an online directory of articles that is relevant to the client’s
particular website niche, this article gets read and picked up by many other webmasters and
sometimes even offline publications.
Article Submission is the way to promote client’s website and link that produces real results
almost immediately. We provide the client with full reports to ensure that the client stays on top of
the link campaign.
Article Submission is a white-hat; ethical techniques used by webmasters to gain new one way
links and help promote their website or specific link URLs. The technique has many different
forms but typically involves some sort of promotional content that encourages others to publish
the link as a ‘biography box’ or ‘author’s link’ on their own websites and publications.

If the client is consistent in submitting the articles, it ensures a steady flow of quality
backlinks to the client’s site - this is what Google loves.
It will be the most successful marketing strategy in 2006 according to many internet
marketers.
Nearly every professional search engine marketer considers article submission as one of
the main part in their link building process.
Important Points to be borne in mind while submitting articles:
1. Make sure to properly check the guidelines of various article directories - some directories will
strip out HTML and some don't. Make sure you take proper care of that in order to obtain
maximum links with good anchor texts.
2. Don't use the same article(s) that you submit to article directories ON your website as that may
trigger duplicate filters of search engines. If you want to, atleast tweak your article a bit.
3. Don't make too many links to your website in your article - as the chances of your article being
approved decreases. As a rule of thumb, get one link in 'Article Body' and two links in 'Author Bio'
- this works well for most of the article directories.
4. Find as many article directories as possible that are related to the content on the client’s site.
Google this.
5. Make sure to submit your article in only RELEVANT article directories and it should be
submitted in the correct category.
6. Consistency is the key. It is a fact that as more and more articles are added to the article
directories, your article will go lower in the listings, but if you constantly and consistently submit
new articles, then you will continue to reap the benefits.
Methodology for Article Submission
Step 1: Receive the article content from the client or from our seo content writer in the below
format.
The client will provide the following information:







Email address and password
Article Title
Article Category
Article Summary
Article Body
Resource Box
Keywords
If the client doesn’t provide an email address, we have to create an email account for the client.
Step 2: After we receive the article information from the client, we need to study the article and
understand the category the article would fit into.
Step 3: We submit articles to ONLY four article submission directories:




http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.searchwarp.com
http://www.usfreeads.com/
http://www.goarticles.com/
Let us consider http://www.ezinearticles.com/ for submission of an article.
Step 4: Open http://www.ezinearticles.com/ and click on “Submit Article”

Select A Category: Subcategory
Article Title
Keywords
Abstract/Article Summary/Teaser Copy
Article Body
Author Bio
Resource Box: Resource Box would contain the client’s website along with the keyword.
If the client doesn’t provide with the resource box information, then we will have to create
a hyperlink considering a keyword from the client’s website.
<a href=”url of the Article”>key word</a>
Now click on, “Yes I Agree”.
After submitting the article information, click on “Submit” button to submit the article.
Important Points:
1) The article needs to have 500 – 700 words.
2) Keyword density should be 3% - 6%.
Why between 3% - 6%? If you are writing an article between 500-700 words, if you have
over 6% it's going to look like you are stuffing your article with keywords and chances are
that is going to be rejected from the article directories or your author’s name can be
removed.
3) Once we have submitted a particular article in one directory, ensure it is not submitted to
any other directory.
