There are an ever increasing number of article directories springing up, attemting to take advantage of the popularity that has become of writing articles as a form of web promotion. What people can be unsure of however, is which of these sites to post their article to. In this article I write about the article directories which I use.
EzineArticles
The first directory that I ever posted an article to was the ever popular ezinearticles. It has only been around a year but I have to say that it seems like about five years. This directory was recommended to me by a friend who is a jobs in foster care expert and he also offers leaflet printing. In my opinion is certainly one of the best. Each article is reviewed before being accepted, this is not true of many of the other directories, especially the newer sites.
I have noticed many of my own articles appearing in the main search engines, some after only a few days of being published. One of the first articles I submitted was called stuttering and its effects, this article is still placed in the top 10 of google.co.uk after many months.
If you are only planning on submitting your article to one directory this is the one I would advise that you use.
Goarticles
Many people, including a business contact who writes articles about obtaining cheap calls, have told me that they prefer to use goarticles when looking for an article to add to their site. For this reason alone, I always ensure that I submit my article to this directory.
Articlealley
One of the main things that impresses me about article alley is the fact that they also publish your articles on a couple of their other websites. This is without you needing to do any extra work. I always think to myself that any exposure is good exposure and this has worked very well for me in the past – it could also work well for you.
Articledasboard
I have been advised that this directory is becoming increasingly popular and is one I should be posting my article to. The site has a page rank of six which is always a good sign.
Ideamarketers
This directory is my fifth choice in order of merit and has many interesting articles.
It is hard to know how many of these directories people should be submitting their article to. I have been given lots of different web promotion advice on this subject and have decided to come up with my own conclusion. I personally normally submit my articles to around twenty of these sites but always the five above.
