Is Submitting Articles Good For SEO?

One of the main principles of SEO is link building and one of the best and least expensive ways to do this is with article marketing. I know many of you don’t like to write and that’s OK because you can hire an outsourcer pretty cheap to do it for you. In this article you will learn what article marketing can and can’t do for you, plus how to use it for SEO.You can also learn seo here. Let’s begin with what article marketing will not do for you…

If you have been online for any length of time you’ve probably heard that you can get a ton of visitors to your site by just submitting your articles to directories. If you believed this you’re going to be disapointed. Over the last couple of years I have submitted many articles to all of the top directories like ezinearticles.com without much resulting traffic. I also have not gotten much traffic at all from the sites that published these articles so if you where expecting visitors from that source you’re also out of luck.

Today these directories are overflowing with good articles about every subject on the planet. In the past when they had far fewer articles you may have been able to get traffic from these sources but no longer. Even though you are not getting visitors from the articles themselves, don’t worry because using articles for SEO purposes will still allow you to get a lot of traffic from the search engines.

With the current state of affairs online your best bet is to use article marketing for back-links. You can use the authors resource box to give your web site anchor text links from these authority sites which is the best way to get ranked high in the SERPs. Getting back-links to your web site can take a lot of time, money or both. But with article marketing you can get an unlimited number of these links to you site for little or no money and, if you do it the right way, for very little investment of your time as well. For this to work you are going to need to get a lot of articles out there though. In order to get a lot of articles out there without spending too much time you will need to use either a web based or desktop program.

There are many options here that will submit your articles for you. Some will submit them to the top article directories while other will post them to blogs. The best of these applications will even give you many variations of your article through a process called spinning which will make your links even more valuable. If you have the money and feel your time is your most valuable asset you can also use a service to manually submit your articles for you. If on the other hand you have more time than money then one of the programs mentioned above will be your best bet since it will be a one time cost or a low monthly fee.

So as you have seen you will not recieve a great deal of traffic directly from the articles you submit. Instead focus on getting a lot of them out there for the SEO boost that all those back-links will give your site. If you use one of the applications mentioned above you can get hundereds of links every month which will have you at the top of the search engine listings even for competitive keywords.If you need more seo help check out that link.
