ArticleRanks Review

Every webmaster knows that the search engines love content. That's because people searching the internet are looking for information and the job of the search engines is to provide the searcher with what they are looking for. If you are a website owner trying to get visitors to your site, then you need to provide useful information that can be found. But with millions of websites "out there", getting people to your site isn't so easy.

In comes ArticleRanks. ArticleRanks was launched in 2009 as a network of blogs and websites that exchange content. If you are a site owner looking for content, you can join the network and receive relevant articles. Likewise, if you are a website owner looking to get your site out in the public, you can submit content to the network to be displayed at various sites related to your topic with a link back to your site so that the interested reader can stop by. These links back to your site can have long-term benefits as well (like a popularity vote from the site hosting your content in the eyes of the search engines).

Whether you are looking for free content to build your website or looking to gain site visitors by distributing content throughout the network (with links back to your site), ArticleRanks is a great option.

If you are interested in article marketing you should also be interested in social bookmarking. Social signals are important in 2011 and with the right social bookmarking service alongside a service like ArticleRanks, you can really get your website noticed.

SocialAdr is an affordable and easy bookmarking service. While you can sign up for free, I recommend being lazy like myself and paying either the monthly fee or one-time instant credits to get all of your urls bookmarked.

The beauty of SocialAdr is not only its ease of use, but also features like spinnable titles and descriptions. And the bookmark sites that are included are some of the better sites.

If you haven't tried SocialAdr yet, it is definitely worth a try - SIGN UP HERE.

If you are looking for content, you can sign up for free at ArticleRanks and submit your site for inclusion. If you are interested in using ArticleRanks to distribute you own content to increase visibility and gain links back to your site, there are two payment options. You can either pay $2 per posting or pay $39 per month for unlimited submission.

If you have a website that you want to rank well in the search engines, you need two main things: content and backlinks. In addition to receiving content from a place like ArticleRanks, you could write your own content or pay a ghostwriter to write it for you. But getting links back to your site can be a bit more difficult and this is where joining a service like ArticleRanks can really help.

One of the more popular ways of building backlinks is using article directories like Ezine Articles. For each article you write and submit to Ezine Articles, you can include two links back to your website within your author box. However, depending on the amount of other sites that are on your same topic (your competition) you may need a huge amount of articles on a free article directory like Ezine Articles to even begin to rank your site well and bring in visitors. There is also a concern that you will experience diminishing returns on links back from just one site.

ArticleRanks makes this process easier and faster as you can write one article and submit it to many different blogs and sites at once. You get more backlinks and more variety in the sites linking back to you. Over time, this will help your site to rank better and increase site traffic.

For those people who are experienced with internet marketing, SEO, and even other article/blog networks, let's cut to the chase. ArticleRanks is similar to Article Marketing Automation, SEO Linkvine, UAW and other such networks.

You can submit spun articles to the network with a max of three links per article (within the article body). The articles are then drip fed to the network over the course of a few weeks.

To summarize:
1. Three links back your site within the article body
2. Accepts spin syntax (including nested or second level spinning)
3. Drip feed distribution (controls link velocity)

The great thing about ArticleRanks, in my opinion, is that you can test drive it for just $10 on a pay per post basis. Sign up, add $10 to your account and submit 5 articles through the system and check your results. I have seen my own articles posted to 50+ sites, some with decent PR. I began seeing links show up in Yahoo Site Explorer within a week.

You are encouraged to spin all your articles to get a good acceptance rate. I use Magic Article Rewriter and export using the AMA format. In fact, I have submitted spun articles that were previously submitted to various article directories and still received 30+ distributions. For $2, I think that is a affordable way to gain more links from one article.
