Maximize Your Impact With Article Directories

July 1, 2009 by  

To get the maximum benefit from any web marketing effort, you need to pay attention to both the advertising side AND natural search engine traffic. Web advertising is much easier as there are many advertising firms that can create compelling copy for the advertising. However, an often overlooked area is natural search engine traffic. The reason is its harder to build up for each desired keyword and takes a lot of effort. Once done properly, you have built in traffic without spending a dime on marketing costs, and this traffic is permanent. Article directories are an important part of this effort and should be used for maximum benefit.

 

Using an article directory allows users to post content related to their website, and include links in this content back to their site. Currently, the search engines view some of the more established article directories as an authority source, so any posts to them get added impact in rankings. Ignoring this source of possible links is not a good idea. While it might seem to be a pain to write so much content and submit it over time, in the long run it really pays off.

 

To get the maximum benefit from using an article directory, you need to be able to spin your content. What the heck is spinning anyway? Its really very simple. It uses a computer program to help dynamically substitute sentences for one another on a random basis, while keeping the read and flow of the work the same. So you might write “The dog is brown”. If you wanted to take this and spin the content, you could easily say “The dogs fur is white” or “The dogs fur is yellow in color”. They all say basically the same thing, just in a slightly different way – all of them talk about the dogs fur color. Doing this with your articles can actually create huge amounts of “new” content from a single article you write. Of course you have to write out the alternative text that gets submitted, but then a computer program does the rest. This gives you the best exposure for your work and keeps you from getting penalized by the major search engines for too much duplicate content.

 

Altering the content around a main article allows someone to submit the content to many different article directorires and not have to worry that the same exact content is being submitted.

Sure a few of the same article is fine, but you dont want 200 copies of the exact article submitted all over the web.
