Article Submission on Sterioids

By Brent Sweet

I just thought I would go back over a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I think article submission may be one of the best ways in the world to actually market your business. I mean when you think about it in what way could you hit more people that one of these:

- Articles become viral several webmasters use them to add content to their site and each time they do it they link to you.

- The links they add are counted as votes for your website being relative to the keywords you choose in your anchor text.

- The anchor text and vote count towards moving your site up in the search engines.

- If you rank at the top of the search engines you are displaying a free ad to more people that most newspapers circulate to.

The fantastic part of article submission and marketing is that it doesn't cost a thing to do. You can hit the largest market of consumers for nothing. Most people when they are looking for something go where first? The search engines, I venture to say they go there before going to the store. Is there really a better place to be marketing?

So if you submit articles how do you do it free?

- Just start writing. You are in business and have to have some knowledge about your field. Write up an article or two or ten about your field.

- There are tons of blogs, directories, ezines and more that you can submit your article to and get it published. If they publish, free link!

- After you have written some articles, you go to each directory, ezine, blog and submit your article for publication. Hey its going to take some time, but remember this is free.

It's a ton of work, I won't mess around. Want to know a secret? It can be a lot easier. I use a service that submits the articles for you. It is better than any submission software you can buy.

The service I use does the following:

- First of all it submits my article all over the internet to over 1000 sites. If my article is on topic for the site then I will get published and get my free link.

- When this site sends out my article they send out unique versions of it. They do this by having me submit 3 versions of the same article. Then they mix up my versions even more and distribute them. This way each site can have their own version which makes my article more valuable to them, and the links more valuable to me.

- They also have a tested strategic method of submitting articles so that the search engines give them more value. I hate wasting any time so this is just what I need.

- Best of all it is automatic. I write the articles, submit once and the site takes care of the rest.

To conclude, if you are looking for a great way to market your business, article submission is the way to go. If you have a little money to invest, your best investment would be the thirty bucks a month it costs to have professionals submit them like I do.
