The Top Nine Article Submission Secret Strategies You Need To Learn

July 30, 2008

Almost all the software packages and tools available on the market generally ignore the hassles related to article submission.

I list below 9 submission secrets that will enable you to overcome such inconveniences, and add to your sales turnover.

Secret #1: Do Not Use The Same Titles and Descriptions

This will help stress the uniqueness of the essays and enhance the probability of receiving individual gradings from SEs like Google.

Secret #2: Depend On Different Versions Of The Same Article That You Have Generated

Don’t just spin but generate many alternate versions of the article, selecting with care similar words and phrases keeping the context in mind, and submit them one by one, in different directories. You will then be able to get due recognition from SEs in addition to impressing and converting readers into purchasers.

Secret #3: Use Variations Of The Anchor Text

Be careful not to get boxed in by SEs such as Google, or getting your links devalued, by having a different anchor text for each link. Do not flout any of the rules laid down in any way. Work out a minimum set of rules to be followed for major directories, to better your chances of getting a large number of links.

Secret #4: Prefer Clusters That Fit Your Article Best

Many automated submissions are unable to ascertain where exactly the article has to be submitted, and routinely submit to ‘Miscellaneous’ and ‘Others’ groups; hence, your write-up does not get any attention. Furthermore, there is no standardization of categories, across article directories. For this reason, submitting to the right categories becomes that much more tedious, even manually. In addition, your article could get disallowed at many directories if incorrect categories are selected. This will also determine your Search Engine rankings since the category you select should fit the keyword used by a searcher. Use an automated submission only if it maps categories based on all the directories it submits to.

Secret #5: Keep A Record Of Submissions

If you rely on automated submissions you should get a report furnishing all directories to which your write-ups have been entered, with the time and date thereof. In addition, have an exclusive e-mail id to receive email confirmation of submissions andor approvals.

Secret #6: Resubmit Failed Submissions

Automated Submission software used by you should be programmed to resubmit articles that fail to get submitted, the first time around, so as to reduce ‘leaks’.

Secret #7: Make Sure Your Blog Site And Your Own Article Directory Have Your Articles.

With several versions of your article available, post a version each to your own blog and directory (easy to create and maintain), you should be able to maximize credits for every version of your article.

Secret #8: Send One Version Of Your Article To Your List

If you don’t have a newsletter subscription list, set one up. And send your article as part-content of a newsletter via your autoresponder. RSS feeds, adsense, and amazon links should also feature in the letter.

Secret #9: Recycle Articles

Articles have more lives than cats, especially if you rewrite them incorporating any appropriate changes since you last wrote them and are then recreated and submitted.

Wishing you the best!

Article Directory Registration – A Hidden Blueprint For Success

July 28, 2008

There are innumerable article directories on the world-wide web, and their numbers are increasing, like wild fire. Possibly, any and every person could build an individual article index. Apart from being an adsense revenue earner, they can enhance your website’s SE placement, if you create a niche article directory in the domain of your site/ blog.

There are also many article directory lists that have for some time been inactive, which have long since stopped being moderated. Presenting to these article directory indices is a waste of time. In this article, I have considered some pertinent facets on article directory indexes, and enrolling with them.

What Is The Number Of Directories You Should Aim For?

As a first step your endeavor should be to send essays to several directories, using diligence to ascertain that they are not dormant and will enable you to produce back-links. Ascertain the PR rating of the directory list you are sending to – the higher the rankings, the more the advantage although this need not be a hard-and-fast rule. Poorly ranked directory sites could become better, in the foreseeable future with serious effort.

However, an identical amount of your time is involved in enrolling with numerous directories, whether 5, or 500 although the software will have to do more work to submit to aditional directories. And with individual versions of essays getting submitted at different directories, your site should rise in SE rankings, back-links mushrooming and with traffic going up.

Laborious Effort

The method of logging on to different directories is very tedious, although the effort involved should not be overlooked, as otherwise, you cannot make your work available at various locations. The work necessary becomes even more tedious, when some directories reject the username and pen-name that you propose to enroll with, since they may already be in use. In such cases, this will necessitate logging on using different names.

How To Mitigate The Pain Of Mass Registration

Logging on to over 500 directories, a figure that service providers usually think is necessary, will involve about 50 hours of work, reckoned at the rate of about 6 minutes per directory. If you have an 8 hour day, you will need to spend a full week on the job. As already discussed, your time could be better spent. This work has more minuses than pluses. To maximize your benefit, you should register with multiple sites though it could necessitate using someone to do it for you.

Shortcomings of Automated Registration:

Many a time, you will be unable to learn about your log-in tries, since log-in lists, directory wise are not allowed by a majority of the software. Nom de plumes aren’t acceptable to some, and in other cases more than one pen name is out of the question in respect of other automated submission software. For this reason, it is essential use software that also lists pen names used by you, and amends the list, changing log-in details and directory names appropriately.

What you need to do:

It’s limitations notwithstanding, it make sense to register with as many directories as possible. If you sign up with hundreds of directories, you are sure to reap the advantages with hundreds of back-links directing enquiries your way, more direct traffic from directories, and even more traffic due to the higher ranking of your own site, ending with greater sales.

Article Marketing – The 6 Strategies That Spell Success

July 23, 2008

Everyone knows that Article Marketing features in the ranks of the most economical and powerful modes of internet marketing. Publish essays with original content that inform, and can persuade a prospective buyer, and guarantee yourself incessant traffic, without having to pay a penny, as long as you continue to sell. And you’ll never want to stop writing articles. There’s no reason at all, with such a guaranteed mode of sales!

The best reward are back-links your content is bound to yield. Every additional back-link increases the probability of high ranking accorded, to your site, by search engines.

How much more can you expect?!

So, what are the six secrets?

#1: Keep On Writing. Keep On Submitting.

Are you capable of writing and submitting an essay exclusive to every article directory? That’s what you need to do if your ambition is to take on your competition, by the horns. There are, literally, thousands of article directories that could produce back-links that the competition in your niche regularly exploit.

If you imagine one article, by itself, featured in many directories will produce as many back-links, you’d better reconsider. Major search engines, especially Google, have a policy to rate the first submission as being original, and throw out the remaining to their supplemental indices.

And if you are thinking of spinning several ‘versions’ of the first ’seed’ article, in order to offer these to several online directories, you are unlikely to strengthen your standing, in the internet market. The so-called “spun” articles are look down upon, and invite ridicule. ( Click here to read a typical “spun” article, if you need a good laugh).

So, find a way to write, write, write. submit, submit, submit.

Secret Strategy #2: Make Several Authentic Clones Of Your Seed Article

A problem with ’spun’ articles, in addition to the fact that they take up a lot of your time to generate, is that they are not proof against detection by automated searches for duplicate content used by SEs. Additionally, spun articles normally usually use the same titles and anchor-texts, thus increasing the ease of their detection.

Secret #3: Register For Submission With Hundreds Of Directories

This entails a huge amount of work, but as a wise man once said: No Pain, No Gain.   Luckily, this is a one-time effort, after which you can go on submitting articles for ever.

#4: Do Article Submissions In Drips

When articles are submitted en masse, SEs eye the back-links resulting from them, in a very short period, with suspicion. SEs prefer a gradual rise in the number of back-links over time; as a result, mass generation of links will probably work against your interests. You will merely be deprived of credit for the back-links, if providence is on your side. In the worst-case scenario, SEs could even sandbox your site.

Secret #5: Stick To The Right Category Wherever You Submit

This isn’t always possible as you can’t submit to the same category in different directories, as directories don’t have the same set of categories. Imagine submitting an article on “How To Be A Great Lover” To promote your ebook by the same name, and that is submitted as an article on “internet marketing”. Various submission software programs end up doing this. It won’t boost your sales.

The secret is a submission mode that offers certainty of submission, under the appropriate category in every directory.

Secret #6: Track Submissions: Resubmit The Ones That Failed During Submission

Submission software programs are often unable to submit your articles to some directories, for any of a host of reasons. Most of these automated submissions are devised so as to keep track of submissions, to verify if the submissions actually took place. A few generate reports which inform you about any failure to submit. You need a submission software that can resubmit articles whenever there’s a submission failure.

These 6 strategies involve diligent diligence. But if you are equal to the task, you are sure to be ahead of your competition.
