Now that you have
submitted your
sitemap and you are working your
link building strategy it is time to start submitting
articles to the article directories.
Submitting you articles to article directories is another
tool in your arsenal to gain important one-way links to your
website. This technique, if used properly and not abused is
very powerful.
Article
Preparations
There are certain preparations that you need to make before
submitting articles to article directories. You need to
create several spin-offs of the articles on your website.
You do not want to submit the same article from your
website to the article directories.
There are several reasons for this. The biggest reason is
that you don't want another website to be indexed and
credited for (in the eyes of the search engines) the content
that you have on your site. Another reason is the fact that
other webmasters who would use your content will appreciate
the fact that it is not the same as the article on your site
and will be more likely to use it. You want to be fair to
others that may use your article for linking to your website
so the best thing to do is make several spin-offs of your
article.
You
need to ensure that each article you submit is at least (at
least) 20% different from articles on your site.
Here is
an easy way to do this:
I am going to use a golf shoe
article and then proceed to break it down. Here is the
original article:
You must
pick the right golf shoes!
If you pick the wrong golf shoes you could
make disastrous errors on the golf course.
Read every word of this article because
picking the right golf shoes is crucial to
your success as a golfer.
Choosing the right golf shoe depends on your
feet. Basically, golf shoe or not, shoes must
be comfortable to wear and should fit good.
Also, the shoes should fit your budget as well
as your lifestyle.
Review Before You Buy!
The best way to pick the right golf shoe is to
know your shoe size and your budget. There is
no better way to find the right golf shoes
than to read reviews of the most popular
brands and then make an educated choice as to
which golf shoe will be best for you.
Brand it or not
The brand is not as important compared to fit,
comfort and style. You may have the shoes that
Tiger Woods wears but that does not mean you
will play like him if you wear the brand of
golf shoes he wears. Be realistic. If you
prefer the slip-on golf shoes rather than the
ones that you have to tie, go and get those.
It is your opinion and preference that counts
more than anything else. Listen to what your
feet are telling you.

[Title 1 Body Section]
I have made 4 spin-offs of the title section and the body
section. This task can be time consuming but the more you
practice it the better you will get.
Now you can create a
bunch of different section 1's. As many as 16 (4 titles X 4
bodys = 16). You can even swap one paragraph in the body
section for another in your rewrites and get even more
variances.
As you can see from the video it is easy to spin off even
more articles from the original 4 re-writes. Just be sure to
change up the flow of your new spin-offs so they too are as
unique as possible.
The basic idea is to break you article into sections an then
do several rewrites of each title line and each paragraph
within your article. The power of submitting articles for
republication is undeniable as you will see shortly.
You just need to make sure that you are not submitting the
same article over and over again. Other webmasters will
appreciate the fresh content and you will be rewarded with
great new relevant links to your site.
Another strategy is to just re-write the articles all
together. As we get more advanced in coming tutorials you
will learn how to automate much of this work.
Submitting to Article Directories
After you have created several spin-off articles it is time
to begin submitting them to the article directories. You
should take this process slow and easy because you don't
want to gain backlinks too quickly. Not only will you get
backlinks from the article directories but, if your content
is good, other webmasters will come in and grab your article
and place it on their site with a nice link back to your
site.
I know that this may all seem like a ton of work but it will
be more rewarding for you financially than trying to take
shortcuts or trying to find a "magic button" solution.
If you recall previous lessons, it is a bad idea to try and
gain backlinks too fast. Submitting to article directories
is no different. Take things slow and easy.
Just follow each sites instructions for article submission
and don't try to do too much too fast!
Conclusion
Watch this video from Jason Potash to get an idea of how
powerful article submissions can be as a backlink building
tool:
The video from Jason Potash proves that article submissions
are a powerful tool to add to your arsenal. You need to
create spin-offs of your original articles from your website
for submitting to the directories. Doing this, your articles
are more likely to get picked up by other webmasters and you
will avoid duplicating your own content and propagating that
duplication to all corners of the net.
