Submitting to article directories does two things. One…IT will give you a good backlink. Two…the directories you submit your article too will help with higher google page rank.

Write an article about whatever your niche business is. Then submit it to the top article directories. Just make sure that you insert your website URL or Blog URL in the bio page of each directory. Be sure to add some of the same keywords that you use on your website. All the major search engines factor the “title” in article directories.

It’s very important that you do not put any advertisements into the body of they article, but do add a good descriptive bio section.  Be sure to use your keyword(s) in the title anchor text.

<h2>Article Marketing Dead</h2>

Many online folks think article marketing is dead but it still works today. However, not as well as it use to.  Here are a few tips to making this type of free advertising work for you.

1. Write original content that has value for your visitor
2. Do not use auto submission services.  The top 3 search engine are cracking down on these type of services.
3. Do not submit PLR content to directories especially ezinearticles.com
4. If you use a ghost writer or are paying someone to write content for you make sure they are legit: many ghost writers will scrape or downright copy other writers content.  Research each person and or outsourcing site.
5. Learn how to write for the Internet Online Crowd.  But, always use proper grammar and spelling.
6. Do not write the exact same article in another directory.  Don’t use spinners to re-write your article.  Many folks swear that spinners work for them…maybe so but I prefer to re-write it myself.
7. Always read the directories TOS (terms of service) each one has a different set of rules.  Abide by them.
