Blogtomic - Learn the secrets to Blogging for cash.

I was over at Ideasandmoney and ran across a great post called “Submit Articles - Increase Your Blog Presence”. The post definitely shows how powerful article sites are if you submit to the right directory with the right keywords your article may become ranked Number 1 on Google. “When you submit and article in one of these databases you can embed your links. These articles will be stored in the database, usually ranking high because they are trusted sites by Google.” - Ideasandmoney

Sounds great. So what is a Article Directory? Well its a website that host free articles that are put in a database with your information/copyright and backlinks so that articles can be easily found and read by hundreds of people, and in return you gain traffic. A pretty good free promotional method for your blog.

Using Keywords in your articles:

Using a Keyword Suggestion tool is a great way to see what keywords are being searched for by millions of people a day. You can use this to decide on what articles you submit to the article directories. People are always searching for information and using these keyword-rich articles is a sure way to dive more traffic to your blog and give you a good rank in search engine searches when someone is looking for a topic you might have wrote.

What are the benefits of Articles?

1: It’s a free and easy. Most likely if you are a blogger you already have some content you can add. All you have to do is sign up and start submitting your content. Some sites you may have to wait a few days to be published in there database but the wait is worth it.

2: You obtain more backlinks. Not a bad deal most people spend a good bit of money to have links back to there site and this way is free of charge, plus if other webmasters use your articles there is an even better chance of getting more backlinks and traffic to your site. Make sure to add a terms of use to your articles so that your copyright and information remains of the article.

3: You get Noticed: Article directories are a quick way to get your site noticed and gain more readers. Chances are if they like your article on the directory site they will come looking for more information on that niche and visit your site. Plus your article will likely show up higher in most major search engines.

4: Traffic, Traffic, Traffic. Adding articles will help increase your traffic and give you another alternative traffic source to your blog, and it’s always good to have more alternative sources than too few.
