If the article is written well, it can lead to increased website traffic and more sales for your business.
A typical article for web submission should be between 250 and 750 words long. It will use keywords relevant to the your intended audience. The directories are organized into multiple categories and you must decide which category to publish under. You are also encouraged to attach a group of relevant keywords to your article and to include your business details and a link to your website, in your ‘resource box’, which is a brief paragraph about what you are offering and a call to action. Ie…”click on my webiste link to learn about this topic”. Anyone who enjoyed the article will take the time to see who wrote it, and chances are, they’ll click on your link to see what it is you are promoting.
There are many different article submission services out there. Most are free to use, but some more specialized ones charge a small fee. One of the biggest free directories is EzineArticles.com which carries the work of nearly 70,000 writers.

The real purpose of these submission sites are to provide a place for e-zine publishers to find free and relevant content. Every day, editors of a huge range of subject specific e-zines, visit the article directories and download new articles that are relevant to their audience. This saves them writing it themselves. The only stipulation made is that they must publish the article in full, without editing and always include the author’s resource box and retain the links intact.
Article marketing is a great way of having your website on the search engines. Writing one article may not get you the results you desire but a consistent flow of articles submitted to the major article directories over time will gain you solid traction giving you good rankings and back links to your articles and websites.
There are many advantages to marketing your home business on the internet by writing articles. The best part about article writing is that it doesn’t cost anything but your time. When done correctly, this can lead to increased traffic to your website and an increase in sales.
