A Good Way to Build Links

Submitting your articles to article submission websites can help you gain exposure. Many web designers & marketers search the databases to discover new articles they can syndicate.

A guide for submitting your articles to article directory sites…

Basic Guidelines

Article websites are used by webmasters for extra content; they use your articles and in return you are allowed an author resource box to place a link to your site and contact information.

As articles are copied across different sites, they provide a decent number of backlinks and some traffic. These backlinks are not keyword rich, but add to the overall strength of the site.

How to Submit

Submit your site to as many article directories as possible, each site is a little different, but most ask for standardized information.

You’ll need to:

  • Sign up and generate a user id
  • Create a brief bio for your resource box, with links to your site and contact info
  • Write a short, generic article
  • Add links to the copy (not all article sites will accept links in the article field)
  • Make a copy of your article without HTML (not all sites accept it)
  • Add your bio information (if the site doesn’t have a designated spot for it)
  • Usually, the forms consist of these fields: Category, Article Title, Keywords,
    Teaser, Article body, and Resource / Author box

    Final Tips

    Follow these final tips to get the best results.

  • Have a copy of your article with and without HTML to cut and paste while submitting
  • Always proofread your work
  • Keywords should be varied for each submission
  • This article is intended for those who have a very basic level of understanding when it comes to marketing on the web.
