Article Submission hits millions and it is Free

By Brent Sweet

I talk about this all the time, but I really wanted to outline the benefits of article submission. I think it may be the best way in the world right now to market businesses. If you think about it I almost guarantee you could not get the following for free:

- Just the pure viral nature of articles. There are people all over the internet looking to add content to their sites, and if they use your aritlce they have to link to you.

- The links they add are counted as votes for your website being relative to the keywords you choose in your anchor text.

- The anchor text and vote count towards moving your site up in the search engines.

- When your website reaches the number one position for a keyword that is searched frequently you get to display an ad to those people. The volume of people seeing that ad is greater than you could hit with any single advertisement unless you are advertising in the Superbowl.

I think the most wonderful thing about article submission is that it is free to do. You seriously could advertise your business to more people over time than the Superbowl and not spend a dime. Compare that to the millions they charge for a 30 second spot. You tell me a better way to market your business.

How do you do it free?

- Just start writing. You are in business and have to have some knowledge about your field. Write up an article or two or ten about your field.

- There are tons of blogs, directories, ezines and more that you can submit your article to and get it published. If they publish, free link!

- Go to each directory that you can find and submit the article, it is time consuming but if you want to do this for free this is the way.

Sounds like a lot of work! Let me tell you what I do. I use a service that will submit articles for you, and it is better than any submission software.

Some services are scams, but the one I use does this:

- The first thing it does is blasts my article all over the internet. Thousands of sites will publish my article if it is on topic.

- Submits a unique version of my article to each one. I write the same article 3 times, rewording it, and they randomly sort my paragraphs so each article is unique, this makes more webmasters publish it.

- The site I use also has a special tested method that makes the search engines pick up and count my articles more effectively. I hate to waste any time, especially my own, so this is a huge benefit.

- Saves me a ton of time, it does all this on auto pilot, all I do is write articles!

To conclude, if you are looking for a great way to market your business, article submission is the way to go. If you have a little money to invest, your best investment would be the thirty bucks a month it costs to have professionals submit them like I do. - 15478
