Article Submissions

There are many places online where you can submit a short (400-600
word) non-fiction article about something you know. This article could
be your first blog posting, it could be something you come up with just
to post on an article directory website, or it could be an article you
have someone else ghostwrite and then publish under your own name.
This is one time where having other people write for you probably isn’t
a bad thing. As long as the article is good and sound it really doesn’t
matter if it was written by you or a ghostwriter you hired to write it.


Submitting an article to an online article directory is free, simple, and
easy. Simply turn one of your blog posts into an article which can
stand alone, and then submit it to the article directory of your choice.
(Some popular ones are articlealley.com, contentdesk.com,
ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com.) There are also automated
submission programs you can use to submit your articles to many
article sites all at one time.


Attached to your article will be a “byline.” Your byline will contain
information about you and a link to your blogs and other websites.
You could have your byline read something like “Jane Smith is a
programmer by day and blogs on horses at night. See her amazing
programming website at www.iprogram.com and read her blog at
www.besthorseblog.com.” This example byline just created two back-
links for every time you publish the article; one to the programming
site and another to the horse blog. If you post this article five times
on the web you have ten back-links to your sites.


Also, many article sites allow you to publish non-exclusive rights
articles on their sites. This means that you are free to post the same
article on other article sites as well. Each time you submit the article
you build links to your site. In addition, other bloggers and
webmasters will link to these articles on their own relevant sites and
that creates even more links for your site as well. By submitting
articles to article directory websites you can build links easily to your
site to increase your search engine rankings.
