Effective Site Promotion Using Directories

By Victor Krumm


Article writing is crucial to effective webpage promotion and, like site directories and social media web sites, easily adapts well to automation.

Better yet, you can build web traffic and get back links at the same time.

Unsolicited one way back links, the kind that a search engine favors and which, over time, will improve your web site in the all-important Search Results.

If you are not familiar with article writing or article submission directories, don't be anxious. An article promotion directory is simply a website that accepts, free of charge, and posts articles that its authors write.

Everybody benefits.

There are many thousands of free article submission directories. They make their revenue from Adsense and other advertisers on their sites and are tickled pink to continually get new content.

You will benefit, as well , because article writing is a surefire route to promote your website, get exposure and new visitors to your net page, and get back links. You cannot beat the cost (free) and, in return for allowing you to post your articles for nothing, each article promotion directory grants you the right to create at least 2 back links to your website.

Any person can use your article on their blogs or sites, so they benefit, too.

Keep in mind that search engines rank pages, not internet sites, and that 2 of the factors influencing a page's ranking in search results are the number and quality of back links pointing to it. Thus, when you employ article writing as part of your web promotion strategy, it's in your web page's best interest to get as many one way back links as it can get.

Google Page Rank is assigned to each article submission directory and they'll rank anywhere from PR0 to PR8. The higher the page rank, the higher the quality back link---so always post your articles to a high Google Page Rank article submission directory as well as a wide variety of other article directories.

Tip: Your web browser probably has a free "add-on" extension that will display a web site's Page Rank. Google Chrome has several such add-ons, including: SEOmator (which also displays "no follow" links) and S.E.O Chrome (which also displays the amount of backlinks). Other browsers typically have similar free extensions.

For optimal results, use modern "spinning" technology to create unique versions of each of your articles and post to hundreds or even more article directories on a constant basis.
