Can someone please tell me the best ways to promote an Article Directory. How do I bring traffic to it and attract people to submit articles and read articles on my Article Sites.
Two tips for you here: 1. Contact article submission software developers as well as article submission services like Article Marketer and request for your directory to be included. This will get you tons of article submissions on a regular basis. 2. Promote it at article directory listings. Google it and you will find them around. Offer to include your site within the list.
You could try a Google search on things like "increase traffic, website promotion, article marketing etc." this will fetch tons of results including blogs and forums. You can then add comments and posts, remember to add your link in your signature. Be sure that your comments and post are informative and add value to the site everything else is spam.
