Submitting well-written content to article directories is a great way to build a reputation online as an expert in a particular topic. Since the best directories are considered authority sites, they are constantly being crawled by search engine bots, allowing potentially thousands of users to see your articles. And if you are planning to use an article marketing strategy to drive traffic to your site, these directories are also a key tool since you are allowed to embed clickable back links using anchor text in the article or in the resource box.
These directories can generally be divided into those that allow you to submit articles for free and those that charge you a weekly or monthly membership fee to be able to upload articles to their site. While a free article directory may save you money in the short-term, in the long run it may result in lost sales due to the ads that are included with the articles. However, when you are starting out and have a limited budget for marketing, these free sites may be a good choice until you have the money to move up to a paid site.
When submitting content to an article directory, there are a number of guidelines you have to keep in mind to ensure that your article is accepted and achieves the desired results.
1. Articles for directories must generally be 500 to 800 words long.
2. When you include relevant keywords or key phrases in the article to get ranked on search engine results pages, keep the number of keywords to no more than 2% to 3% of total word count since including more may be considered “keyword stuffing” by search engines and result in your article being penalized.
3. Think up of a catchy title for your article that will catch the user’s attention on the search engine results page and cause them to click on the link to it.
