Distributing Your Article
I usually build my web site with one article of about 1,200 words, divided into three sections of about 400 words each. Why 400 words? because with 400 words you can cover in-depth subject. I will explain why I divide it into three sub articles later on.

After you have written an article and arranged the resource box, now you are ready to submit your article to article directories, there are many article directory sites and few with high PR article directories sites.

In each of these sites you will find Thousands of articles in hundreds of categories and sub categories.

Why all these authors submit their articles for free to the Article Directories sites?
you guessed it, they all need back-links to their sites.

On the other side of this coin there are the web site builders that have no time or talent or both and they need badly content to their sites, what do they do, yes, you guessed it right once again, they come to the article directories sites and pick a good article/s to put onto their sites for free, all this, as long as they keep the author’s resource box with a live hyper link to the author’s site.

Once your article is put into many article directories it starts to develop a life of its own. Web site owners paste it on their site pages, Ezine publishers might grab it to their electronic magazine, online as well as offline publishers and editors who are always on the look out for good content and interesting info might use your article for their needs. Bloggers can put it on their blogs and by that enables your article to be syndicated via RSS feeds all across the web.

The wide spread distribution of your article can bring some traffic to your site on its own merits and might even serve at time as alternative to SE traffic.

All this creates a snow ball effect that can build your site’s PR and establish you as an expert in your field.

What is Anchor Text and How to Create It?
The back-link should be in the form of anchor text link, this is a text that describes your main theme of your site, underneath it “hides” the hyper link to your site.

link it would be in blue color text.

How To Get Your Articles Seen By More People
As the owner of 6 article sites and 4 article blogs, I am offering some tips to get your articles seen more. More views, more clicks, more money.

1. Proofread your article. Proofread your article. Proofread your article. You would not believe how many spelling and grammatical errors I see.

2. Follow the submission guidelines. Some sites allow links in the article, most don’t. Some sites all 3 links in the author's resource box, some allow only 1 or 2.

3. Check and double check your links in the resource box. I have seen many times where the HTML is incorrect and your link is not clickable. I also see improperly formatted HTML which will mess up the page. This is usually from not closing tags.

4. Many article sites automatically send email telling you that your article was accepted. Click the link, visit the site, and if you can social bookmark your article, do so. This will result in more links to you site and more people reading your article.

5. If you have a web site, link back to the article directory. This helps the article site with more links which will eventually result in a higher Google page ranking. This, in turn, will get more eyes on your articles.

Article marketing can be very profitable if done properly. It can be even better if you help us article directory sites help you. The more popular my sites are, the more your articles will be seen.
