    If done correctly, article submission will get you a lot of traffic quickly and in the longer term give you a decent backlink.

    Most people use ezine articles for submission of articles. If keyword reasearch is done correctly you can be near the top of the search engines for your article. There are other articlea directories as well like GoArticles, Buzzle, Article Dashboard, Isnare ect..

    My choice is article submission. Submitting an article to as many article directories by using an article submitter like UAW or you can do manual submission.

    You should include Squidoo, hubpages, buzzle and Weebly too.

    All of these articles will point to your money making site.

    Secondly, you can also do forum posting in relevant forums and also do quality blog commenting.

    All of these, you can outsource provided you get the right person or team to do it properly.

    Interesting. I've never heard of UAW and I read their site. Is the $67/month worth it? Also, since you mentioned them separately, can I assume that they do not submit to Squidoo and hubpages?

    First of all, I would never ever guarantee if it works for you because it depends on few factors including the quality of your articles whether it is interesting enough such that it really have the potential to get high click thru rates (CTRs.)

    Squidoo and Hubpages are not included in UAW.

    If you want to outsource, I would rather pay people to write quality articles for me and post it to top 10/20 article directories.

    Since the article is of good quality, I would submit it to my site first. Only right after that, I MIGHT or MIGHT NOT tweak or spin the article and submit to the article directories.

    If you think you:
    • Hire someone to write quality articles for you
    • You can afford to pay UAW's easily
    • You are consistent.

    Then, you can get sales.

    Bear in mind, These are just the small part of article marketing. I have not listed all of the techniques and strategies. It is very important for you to plan before you ATTACK

    I appreciate the reply. There's two things I can do well in this world (1) program the heck out of any computer and (2) write with above average skills. So I think I'm going to go down this road with article submissions. I'm starting a new venture in the finance world and need to drive more traffic to my site.

    Again, a short reminder for you... article submission is part of the article marketing strategies.

    There are a whole lot of article strategies you need to consider but since you just starting out(I assume), take action..if you are consistent though you take small steps and never quit(in your mind), you can really do good. I hope that.

    Hi stefjames,

    I would say writing quality content and interacting (blogs, forums, social websites) with others should get you quality traffic over time. Make sure as well though to consider what quality traffic is to you and shoot for that goal.

    Yes articles marketing is a good way to get quality traffic that is capable of purchasing things from
    your website. Its a good way to increase back links to your site as well.

    Use article marketing with Aweber to capture the leads, it will surely rock...

    Most article diretories have relevant categories you can submit articles for commodities investing. EZA, goarticles and articlesbase are decent enough. Although you can usually rank well with goarticles, it can be somewhat spammy since there is not preauth on anything that is submitted.

    But dont just stop there - be sure to reuse your content after it has been submitted. Respin, resubmit elsewhere. Transform it into an mp3 and upload it or create a podcast of your content and so on.

    While i think a discussion about the best article directories is something for antoher thread, this should give plenty of choices; EDIT Im not allowed to post links yet :/

    Hire someone to write an insightful article on commodity trading about 1,500 words, and post in Hubpages. Then rewrite a few shorter ones of 250 to 400 words to Ezinearticles to get links to Hubpages.
