Well... This thread is good only for people who start SEO and it is very general. Submit articles to get links good point, but what articles and what directories, how choose the right directory to submit? How many time can be submitted one article? Is web needed to be submitted to paid directories or not If yes what directories and so on. Author gives us very general idea about web promotion. But thank him for his job
I is a little general because there is no set formula. A lot of this needs to be decided by the submitter. I will suggest DMOZ and Yahoo Directory...but just submit and forget about it for at least three months, then submit again if your site doesn't appear. I would also suggest submitting to sites that have a related niche, not general directories (minus the two mentioned above).
