Article Directory List

Article Directory List is dedicated to bringing you a definitive article directory list of over 300 active article submission directories that are available for you to submit your articles to.

The article directory list here is by no means exhaustive, but with over two hundred article directories and ezines that accept articles, you have a huge choice for submitting your articles to. 

Brand New PLR Articles For Sale - Cheap! 

Date: 6th July 2009 - Terry Didcott

PLR articles can have many uses, from adding content to blogs, static websites and for submitting to article directories who are not so demanding on the quality of articles submitted, which includes most of them.

If you are looking to generate backlinks from article submissions, but find that writing the articles is too much like hard work, then PLR articles can save you a lot of work. That means they save you time that is better spent on promoting your website or blog and getting more backlinks for it.

I'm a professional content writer and the articles I write are always top quality, because they have to be! So I've decided to turn my hand to creating a brand new batch of 10 weight loss related articles, all over 500 words (some over 600 words) that are original and professionally written.

As I'm having a small celebration here, I've decided to sell all 10 articles together in a package for the crazy low price of just $8 per pack of 10 articles.

Yes, you read right!

$8 for 10 brand new PLR articles!

That works out at a measly 80c per article!

These articles, because they're so new won't be found anywhere online to begin with and I have no plans on using them myself, so they're unique off the bat. Not only that, but I'm restricting sales to just 30 packs, to preserve their value. This gives you an incredible head start by getting them sited on article directories with your name and links to your website on.

If you are interested to learn more and get your hands on them before they all go, head over to my page at:

Remember, there are only 30 packs maximum on sale. When they're gone, they're gone!

Why Submit Articles? 

It's becoming fairly common knowledge amongst Internet marketers and webmasters alike that in order to promote your website, blog or online business, a powerful and free way of generating targeted traffic is to submit articles to article directories.

To do this manually can be a slow and painstaking process, but a necessary one if you want the search engines to rank your site as well as deliver that traffic to your site. And not just traffic, but also those all-important inbound links to give your sites the authority they need to compete in the search engine results.

Well, here's a ton of help in that process.

In this article directory list, I've listed over 300 of the main article directories to save you the hassle of finding them all for yourself.

Of course the process of submitting articles will always take some work, but then when you think about it you are doing that work for the good of your online business which will make money for you the more it grows. Article marketing is a big part of that growth in obtaining the all-important backlinks that your money making websites need in order to gain authority and rank in the search engines results.

If you know of any more article directories, please feel free to add them to the plexo below.

What Are The Pitfalls? 

11th September 2007 - Terry Didcott

One of the main problems a lot of new marketers run afoul of is that of duplicate submission.

By that I mean writing an article then submitting it to more than one article submission directory. The first one you submit is fine, because its an original - it's unique content that the search engines not only love to see but will give you much more PR love for doing it! But when you go and submit the same article to directory number two, it is not longer unique web content, but a duplicate of the one you just submitted to directory number one.

The search engines hate duplicate content and will penalise you for it. They will also penalise the directory that displays it, so you may find that increasingly, more of the top directories will refuse to accept a duplicate article.

If the search engines dislike just one duplicate copy of an article on the web with your link attached to it, imagine how much damage you'd be doing to your potential PR by submitting that exact same article to 200 directories!

It's a definite no-no!

So you can see, you need to take an article and change it around a fair bit before you submit it to another directory. Just to be on the safe side.

Because after all, you are doing this to gain favour with the search engines, not make them penalise you for it!

Article Marketing as Part of a Home Business 

Article marketing as part of a home business is a highly important aspect of the whole online business model. When it comes to promoting your home business and its main website, works in a twofold manner.

1. By driving targeted traffic to your main home business website

2. By increasing the SERPs authority of your home business site by increasing the number of relevant backlinks pointing to it.

These two factors represent the major source of income that you can expect to derive from your website as targeted traffic are visiting for the simple reason that they want what you are offering.

This obviously differs enormously from the social traffic that you can far more easily attract for this one especial reason. They are not targeted and therefore not necessarily interested in what you are offering by way of monetization on your website. They come simply ou of curiosity to see what your site is doing showing up on their social outlet.

So if you're running your own Internet Home Business and want to get the most from its website, then you should certainly make full use of article marketing to generate those diverse and keyword anchored backlinks to your site as well as directly driving targeted traffic from the article directories themselves.

Fast Bookmarking Site 

While article marketing is one of the best ways to promote your website, in order to promote your blogs, you can actually use your posts as their own promotion machines.

There are several pligg based websites around where you can submit your blog posts to, such as digg, reddit, bloggingzoom etc. These are the ones most blogger know about and use regularly to boost their posts' indexing times as well as their SERPs authority.

But why just stop there?

To promote a blog post, doesn't it make as much sense to submit it to as many of these pligg driven sites as possible to get the most promotional juice?

So when you hear about a new pligg site coming online, as a promotion savvy blogger, you're going to take full advantage of the fact aren't you?

Well, here is a blatant and full in your face plug for my very own first step into the pligg arena. My new site, thefb.net is online and accepting blog posts direct from the site. Its already a PR2 and will doubtless improve on that in the next Google PR update as I'm getting plenty of links to it. Which all means that when you submit your blog posts to TheFB, you're improving your blog's SERPes authority with each additional submission.

So where can you finf TheFB? Right here at this link: Fast Bookmarker

Give a try, you'll be glad you did!

Your Resource Box 

14th September 2007 - Terry Didcott

Most, if not all article submission directories allow you to have what is known as a resource box, or bio box.

This is where you can write a little about yourself and your website that you want the article to link back to including an anchor link to your site.

In the anchor link should be text using your main keywords or site title for better SEO and more weight with the search engines.

After all, this is all about getting traffic to your site, for which you need a link to that site and possibly even more importantly a one-way back-link from the article directory to your site, which is why it should be enclosed in "<a> </a>" anchor HTML tags.

This gives you the double benefit of link juice from the article site plus keyword authority to your site, which will help it get a better place in the search engine listings.

How to Use Keywords to Rank in the SERPs 

Keyword research methodologies are some of the most closely guarded secrets by affiliate marketers. Knowing how to mine for low-cost, high revenue keywords is the key to affiliate success for anyone who wants to use any type of search in their marketing.

Of course, there are many ways to find good keywords but you'll also need a tool for researching them once you've found them. That's because it's no good having a great sounding keyword that you know you can fill a whole site up with content for if no one searches on it.

Take my main site, The Honest Way. What a disaster that was as far as keyword research. I bought the domain and built the huge website before I knew what I was really doing in terms of SEO and keywords and now I've got a white elephant in monetisation terms because its main keywords are virtually un-searched, meaning low numbers of organic search traffic meaning low clicks on ads.

A much better site is my newer how to make money online site, which is actually called Money Hints. The keyword "Money" is in the title, so its just a case of manipulating several long tail keywords around "money" and using them in anchor text links as above to send link juice and keyword authority to the site. Recently it was ranking no.2 in Google for how to make money with SEO which is a good long tail keyword with a decent number of monthly searches for not so stiff competition.

Unfortunately, the competition in that niche as a whole is very stiff and lately the site has dropped. This is not really a problem as there are thousands of better niches out there to target. Its just that all noobs tend to come into this game and immediately start to build sites in the MMO niche, without realizing they haven't got a snowballs chance in hell of ranking for most of the related terms!

Wordpress MU for Multiple Blogs 

For those who like to blog, there are a growing number of free blog hosts springing up all the time that allow you to set up your own free Wordpress hosted blog with all the functionality and flexibility that comes with it. That also includes a great collection of great blog themes you can choose from as it goes without saying that Wordpress is probably the most popular blogging platform out there.

There are also some private members forums and universities that use the Wordpress multi user system for their members or student and teachers. In fact any business or company with a group of employees can similarly set up one of these for all their people to likewise set up blogs Blog Subway is one such private members forum host that is a closed shop for members only, but it goes as an example of what is possible if you want to do the same.

With a Blog Smack type of forum that keeps spammers out by not allowing any user registrations at all, you are also creating Google friendly hosts that will produce only good, relevant and useful blogs for their index, which is what the want.

So the blog tides are turning in favour of bloggers having more choice and more freedom to create their blogs across a number of different hosts, which in turn means more diversity and interest in an already popular area of the Internet.
