When you start a website, you see that you have a few people coming to your site. You might have one or two stray visitors coming to your site from different places, most likely by accident by direct referral which means that they type it in the address bar by accident. You do some research that says that you have to pay to get your site listed on another site or that you can advertise your site on other sites which have traffic pouring to there site. This is a misconception that I hear pretty often. There are many strategies that you can use, but since you can write books about each strategy, article submission is the strategy to be focused on at the moment since it has one of the biggest effects over time.

Article distribution is a strategy that I have used since I started internet marketing. It is a strategy used widely and that has been used for a very long time by many people. Since many people have come to realize that getting links to your site is a way to increase your standings with search enignes. the search engines have refined there criteria and made it harder to rank well using links. Search engines add more importance to 1 way links which distributing article allows you to build.

There are a few rules of distributing articles that anyone deciding to practice article distribution as a tactic of building links should abide by. The first of which are about the way you write your articles. When article are written it must be known that articles are read by the directory and webmasters that are looking for articles for there websites. Articles must be at least 300 to 500 words to even be considered by many webmaster for there sites. The vocabulary of the article must be the same as in all other articles written on the topic on other websites. This can be done by looking at other related sites and by searching for articles. At the bottom of the articles you write you can add a signature with a link to your site in it which is the key to all the traffic and all the positive aspects of article distribution. This signature must be short or it will add a negative effect to the article and webmasters will not like them.

Another element of article distribution that must be noted is where you are distributing those articles. Article directories are sites that allow you to submit your articles. They ask for registration and then allow you to submit articles for no cost. The reason article directories allow this service for free is because articles that are submitted to them count as free content and they are increased in search engines which they love.

Duplicate content is another issue that comes into play when distributing articles. The question of how to distribute those articles comes up. This can be done through many different ways. You can distriute articles to many different article directories very quickly with article distribution services. The only reason for this is to advertise your articles better. The link on these articles that you write do not count very much until they are place on other websites by webmasters. This is when you know that your articles are working. Article services will place your articles on many article directories which will give you hundreds of links to your site but these only count in MSN. Google will not see these links and they will not count toward your ranking since they can differentiate which come from directories and which come from real content websites.

Some article that are very well written are place all over them web by man webmasters. This will add an immense benefit to your websites ranking in search engines. Webmasters are always looking for content but since articles that you distribute are duplicates, articles will only be picked up by new sites that use those articles for there visitors. You may think that this wont help you but since the articles are on the site and probably will be for a long time, as the site grows, so too will the importance of your articles. In addition the link to the other webmaster site will add another negative effect to the site that webmaster do not want but are willing to take because of the content.

Article will also give you an "expert" standing with the general public. People will see that you are writing well about the topic and that you are offering useful information that people want and they will see all your articles. Webmasters will see all your aritlces and travel to your sites. This will help you increase the amount of loyal customers you have because of the importance people are placing on the information in your articles.

Use article distribution to advertise a website. Links will be built over long periods of time gradually adding massive amounts of value to a website. It will increase the amount of traffic that will come to your site and article distribution will rise your standings in search engines for the key words that the article is about and the anchor text that the link in your signature is. Use it wisely and have fun writing.
