Proper article submission is done by manually submitting original articles, written by you, to the different article directories,such as ezine or goarticles or articlesbase. The articles should be different to each directory. Of course, that is debatable, depending on who you talk to. Spme people will tell you that it doesn't matter, a link is a link, while others will tell you it needs to be different. Original articles will give you a better link. This is extremely time consuming, which is where the article submission sites come into play. You can pay to have it done for you, but the quality of that is also questionable. They will spin the article for you so it is different, but a lot of times it ends up not making any sense. Of course the goal is to have your articles syndicated, which will multiply your links, so quality content is always better. Forum submissions are just what I am doing now. responding to questions or comments on different forums. Both types will give you back links and both types are suggested. There are other finer details to your question, but that is the readers digest version. Hope that helps
