Hi, An internet marketing consultant suggested that whilst it will do no harm to submit to as many article submission sites as you can, the really important ones are; ezinearticles articlebiz goarticles easyarticles buzzle isnare They then offered to submit the articles I write on my behalf (for a fee)!! I was wondering if they would do anything that I can't and whether I could submit articles just as well as them. Is it rocket science or can I save money and do it myself? Jimbob
Hi, There is nothing to be gained by paying someone. You can just as easily do it yourself. Here is a more complete list: 1: EzineArticles.com 2: Buzzle.com 3: ArticleDashboard.com 4: Amazines.com 5: IdeaMarketers.com 6: ArticlesBase.com 7: ArticleAlley.com 8: EasyArticles.com 9: GoArticles.com 10: ArticleCube.com 11: WebProNews.com (Internet Marketing Topics Only) 12: SearchWarp.com 13: ArticlesFactory.com 14: ArticleBiz.com Best, Scott
The "hardest" part is having the motivation to sit down and write all the articles.. It's very easy to submit them. The best two, IMO, are Ezine Articles & Go Articles.
I agree with the previous two posters. If you can make the time to do it yourself, there is no reason to pay someone to do it. Writing the articles is the difficult part because it can be time-consuming and it's hard to come up with a number of articles on the same topic sometimes. Once the articles are written, it is just a matter of signing up for the directories and submitting your articles. That is the easy part.
in this or any other case when you outsource a task you should evaluate how long it would take you to do it (if possible) and how better you can use that time. if you were to gain more by outsourcing the task then it's a no brainer but if not then you should do the task yourself. submitting the article is the easiest part actually (if you concentrate on a small number of directories) once you get the hang of it submitting them will take no longer than 10 - 15 minutes.
My experience is the same as Avonlee1983... ezinearticles and goarticles are the two most effective sites for article marketing.
Thanks for all of the replies, which I really appreciate and find very useful. It has been suggested that I write articles that focus on 'longtail keywords', submit them to the above article sites and them bookmark them using socialmarker.com. Any comments on this? Jimbob
There is software designed to submit articles. I haven't tried them so I don't know how useful they might be. Just make a search on Google for 'article submitter' and see what you get. I'd like to hear if anyone has experienced such article submitter software.
submitting articles is very easy... just sign-up on article submission sites and submit your article. but try on focusing on a few article sites that really gives you traffic.
BTW... someone suggested searchwarp.com... it's a good community of writers, but I just recently found out that they so kindly a nice "nofollow" attribute to any links in your article or ressource box. So if you are looking to do any SEO through your article writing, Searchwarp won't help you out. __________________ Cheapest Gas Prices | Gas Finder
Solton provided a good list to use. It is important to remember that if you submit the same article to all of the sites, you will end up with only one link after a few weeks. It is more work, but if you change the articles by about 30% and submit a unique one to each directory, you will end up with more links.
