There are an ever increasing number of article directories springing up, attemting to take advantage of the popularity that has become of writing articles as a form of web promotion and have in the past even used a manual article submission service. What people can be unsure of however, is which of these sites to post their article to. In this article I write about the article directories which I use.

EzineArticles

The first directory that I ever posted an article to was the ever popular ezinearticles. It seems so long ago now, where in truth it was probably only around ten months ago. This directory was recommended to me by a friend who is a jobs in foster care expert and he also offers Voucher Codes. In my opinion is certainly one of the best. Each article is reviewed before being accepted, this is not true of many of the other directories, especially the newer sites.

When you search for the title of your article a few days after it has been accepted in for example the search engine google, you are normally able to see it highly placed in the results. One of the first articles I submitted was called stuttering and its effects, this article is still placed in the top ten of google after many months.

If you are only planning on submitting your article to one directory this is the one I would advise that you use.

Goarticles

Many people, including a business contact who writes articles about obtaining cheap calls, have told me that they prefer to use goarticles when looking for an article to add to their site. For this reason alone, I always ensure that I submit my article to this directory.

Articlealley

One of the main things that impresses me about article alley is the fact that they also publish your articles on a couple of their other websites. What is more you do not even have to do any additional work. Additional exposure is always good.

I been reading on some of the SEO forums that this particular directory could be the next “big thing”; I will keep my eye on its progress. The site has a page rank of six which is always a good sign.

Ideamarketers

This directory is my fifth choice in order of merit and has many interesting articles.

It is hard to know how many of these directories people should be submitting their article to. I have been given lots of different advice on this subject and have decided to come up with my own conclusion. I personally normally submit my articles to around twenty of these sites but always the five above.

Bing from Microsoft is one of the newest search engines on the Internet, although the company’s promotions establish it as a different search tool.   The company has termed it a ‘decision engine’, and it has some exclusive features Google Search does not have.  For example, Bing’s user interface can provide the user with more accurate and pertinent data with less effort, which is something that Google sometimes fails to do.

The question is, with the innovations that the new search engine offers, how do you tailor your article marketing efforts to glean maximum results from the up-and-coming Bing?  First, let us briefly discuss the special aspects of the Bing ‘decision engine.’

After entering a search keyword or key phrase, Bing comes up with relevant results, some of which are more refined and informative than what you would expect from Google.   Some may argue that this only seems so because of the new user interface.  Bing typically displays the information that one can access with Google Search with more depth, even without going directly to the page the info is on.  Further information is displayed without leaving the Bing results page, simply by moving your cursor over the associated information.  If the information contains associated meta-data, moving the cursor over the primary information will display this as well.

It may seem that one needs to redo or rethink his article marketing strategy, but the conventional standards may still be used.  Creating well-crafted articles relevant to your niche, integrating the appropriate keywords, and submitting your articles to as many popular directories as possible (while creating the appropriate resource box or author biography) will still allow you to make headway over the competition.

The more detailed data that can be seen through Bing’s search results may equate to more convenient access to the desired information for any visitors.  Of course, as the search engine evolves, it remains to be seen if a website owner needs to tweak his or her article marketing efforts to a greater degree, for purposes of gaining more website traffic.  Despite the popularity of Google Search, you can gain traffic with Bing, as it promotes the information contained in your articles much better than Google.

There is no need to overhaul your article marketing strategies entirely, if you wish to cater to Internet users who utilize Bing.  Keeping track of any developments that Bing undergoes and slightly amending the components of your article writing service may give you the results and exposure that you wish to achieve.

I’m really excited because I have 3 weeks ago joined AMA ServiceT that the guys

and distribute your articles to high quality sites.

This is one of the largest breakthrough’s they have made in
letting you automate the marketing efforts.

Quite simply this is outstanding…. Really BIG – I know from experience

Its called Article Marketing Automation and you can visit them at
AMA.

It even lets you submit YouTube videos as well as standard sites.

If you haven’t been on a 6 months journey in Amazons, you will know how
Powerful YouTube promotions can be.

AND if you have been watching the SEO scene you would have also seen
how YouTube videos are on first page rankings for EXTREMELY
competitive search phrases very easily.

See Google wants to include new media in its search results, it
also finds that YouTube videos are not competing on the same level
as the rest of the web index.

It is MUCH easier to get a first page ranking for your own YouTube video then it is for the main keyword.

So they have that entirely covered all within this new system.

In AMATT, when submitting an article you can now also include a YouTube URL (your YouTube video that you created, or another one if you just
want your post to looking better).

Then you input some extra YouTube anchor text keywords (the terms you want your YouTube video to be in Google for)

And that’s it.

Now Automatic article promotionT, when it submits your article, will also include your video as well as link back to YOUR YouTube video, with varying link text,
Helping you get better video rankings.

COME ON this AMAT systemT is amazing.

Nobody is doing this right now, and certainly not as easy as this.

What a powerful feature for just a part of what the system really does.

Help you distribute your high quality articles to real sites giving you an instant marketing with your website.

AMATT have even been able to produce first page rankings for normal (not video) competitive keywords with over 395,000 competition pages.

What would it mean to you if you could do this exact same promotion to your own money sites?
