Sunday, July 18th, 2010An important part of any site’s SEO is backlinks. There is still remaining 1 very easy way of getting a huge amount of backlinks for your site and it is writing articles and submitting them to article directories.
In this article yes im doing what i preach check me out! I will give you the top 5 tips on how to use article submissions more effectively. Dont just create article blindly and submit them to the wrong places. Instead follow my top 5 easy tips heres the tips.
Article submission Tips
1. Unique Articles
When i put unique articles i mean each directory you submit to gets a unique article. Only creating one article with a few words changed here and there, this wont do. If you would like to spin the article. Do spinning correctly dont just spin the odd word Google has technology to pick this up its called LSI.
2. Link Text
As you are aware the benefits of using article directories to host your articles is that you can have a link to your site with the link text of your choice. This is when most fall down. Dont put out 140 articles with the same link text. This sticks out like a sore thumb to Google as someone trying to spam their index. Try to mix it up a bit like using the odd click here or “your site url” make it look natural.
3. Quality Quality Quality Quality Quality
Dont just keep the good stuff for your site. You probably always put up good quality articles on your own site and put up bad or lower quality articles on Article directories. If the article is good quality and therefore has a lower bounce rate Google is more likely to count the backlink. so treat others the way you would like to be treated.
4. Grammar, Spelling.
there’s nothing more worse then spending hours writing articles for them to only get rejected for poor spelling and grammar. You would of wasted your time when you could of been doing other SEO tasks. So simply spell check everything or pass the aricle to a friend or partner to skim over and proof read.
5. Outsource, Outsource
The old saying why have a dog and bark yourself. Article submission is a time consuming task which you could outsource, with sites like Elance.com which may cost you up to $100 a month to get this outsourced. Which is for me money well spent, even while I sleep people are building links to my site.
