Hi guys, if I have an article directory where people can submit their article like ezinearticles how to promote the website? Thanks.
You need to be vigilant while approving articles you need to maintain high standard of english and maintain most revelant categoreis. Be ware of spammers as you will suerly get too many spam articles.
You can employ different methods for this. One way is to go for link exchange programs, second way would be to promote your directory in different active forums on the internet,third option would to filter out the articles you receive. Make sure you only receive fresh content all the time.
Email marketing is a powerful way to promote product. Your email marketing will begin with your opt-in list. This can easily be built by offering a free newsletter about your industry to your website visitors. You place a subscription box on your website that will capture names and email addresses of your subscribers.
You should try link exchange and email marketing. Those methods aren't so tedious and they work well.
I've thought about link exchange. But I think it will make the website less professional. Consider ezinearticles have a list of other website. Isn't it bad?
I think if you have a fairly big budget, you can try sponsored review through review me, pay per post. It really suit your website since its about article, so its wise to target to people who loves to read articles on blogs. Another way is to blast to your email list, if you don't have, start building one. An email list is really a good thing to have. Good luck!
I'm afraid there really is no way to get your name out there to where you will get a lot of visitors unless you advertise. Did you know that ezine started out advertising? Advertising doesn't have to be that expensive, anyway. Just get a few hundred bucks going, and be smart about it. You could also try to submit the really good articles to sites that may publish them for their readers. Like, for examples: Askmen, or About, but even then it doesn't even compare to advertising. But, hell, it's a start. If you are looking for article submitters, go straight to the source, them. Go to the article dumpers, like ezine, and send an e-mail to the article submitters of your choosing.
Maybe use the same methods you would use for promoting any website. Will take significant work - but use the right methods like backlinks and articles and it should help.
promote it normally like promoting other sites... forums, articles, social bookmarks, blog comments, etc
first try to get good pagerank atleast PR3. then promote your article directory through signature links.
I've had great success with Biz Ad Splash to advertise for my stationary design business. Give it a look for sure if you haven't tried it yet!
