One thing that helps your organic search rank is building incoming links to your Website. What better way is there to build links than with articles that you’ve already written? Most people know that building incoming links to your Website helps increase your search engine rank. However, some marketers are clueless about where to start. Submitting articles online is one of the easiest, most effective ways to get on track and boost traffic.
If you publish articles off line, have a blog, eNewsletter, or a helpful resources section on your site, chances are you already have an archive of articles to submit online! If you haven’t or don’t write articles regularly, you most likely have what you need to get started. If you aren’t confident in writing for the Web, hire an journalism or business intern to elaborate on some of your thoughts.
Why are articles important? First of all, it makes you look like an expert in your field. Second, it is a LINK to your site. Once you have some relevant articles, it is time to place them all over the Web. The following is a list of 10 different free article submission sites:
- EzineArticles
- GoArticles
- ArticlesBase
- iSnare
- Amazines
- Article Basecamp
- Article Click
- 1888articles.com
- Buzzle
- ArticleAlley
Most likely, each site will require an account. A spreadsheet is an easy way to keep track of articles and account information. Once you have established your accounts, make sure that your Bio allows for a hyperlink to your Web site. If the submission engine allows, place as many tasteful links as possible throughout the body of each article as well.
Now that you have a list of places to submit articles, what are you waiting for? Go spread your knowledge. If you found these sites helpful, please leave your feedback or tweet about NuRelm’s blog The Website Owner’s Manual.
