Submit to the right article directories. There are many article directories online but what you want are those with higher page rank and one that has been on the web for at least a year or more.

Submit to your niche market. When submitting to an article directory, you will be required to choose a topic. Choosing the right topic is crucial if you want to reach out to your niche market. You want to reach out people who are genuinely interested with your topic.

Distribute articles to webmasters. Aside from directories, you can also send articles to different webmasters and bloggers. Look for sites or blogs that cater to your niche market. Contact its webmaster or blog owner and ask if they can post one of your articles on their site/blog with a link to your website.

Write more articles. Do not use the same articles over and over. Write as many variations as you can and distribute them to your chosen directories.

Follow the rules. Don’t forget to read the guidelines of submission as different articles directories impose different rules. You don’t want to commit a violation as it can get you permanently blocked from the directory’s list.

Use different bylines. When submitting to different directories, it’s a good idea to use different bylines or footers. Make sure that you author resource box contains your name and the correct link to your business website.

Submit summaries. Summaries or teasers of your article are important because it can attract a reader to check out the rest of the article.

Go easy on the links. Most article directories do not allow any link on the article itself, except in the author resource box. In the author box, you may be limited to use two to three links as well. Follow the rules to avoid violations.
