How To Submit Articles For Massive Traffic

Copyright 2005 Steve Shaw

As you perhaps already know, article submissions can drivea huge amount of traffic to your web site for months if notyears. The first step is obviously to get a good articlewritten, with a suitable resource box at the end containinga link to your site to drive traffic to your site. Butwithout submitting your article effectively, all this hardwork will be of little benefit.

In this article, you're going to find out exactly how tosubmit your articles in exactly the same way as people likeTerry Dean, Joe Vitale, and Jim Edwards have done beforeyou.
And there's no reason why you can't achieve a similar levelof success with your own article submissions.

There are three main distribution channels for yourarticles that you should concentrate on:

1. Ezine Editors
You need to find editors who publish ezines in the same'category' as your article - for example, if yourexpertise, and your web site, focuses on gardening, youshould be submitting your articles to editors of ezines inthe same genre (of course, only if they accept articlesubmissions).

To build up your list, you need to scour ezine directories(see the list at http://www.submityourarticle.com/course/ezinedirectories.php) for ezines within your genre, check each ezine to see ifthey accept article submissions, and then double check witheach editor to confirm that their details are correct, andthat they still accept article submissions - you willunfortunately find many of the listings are out of date,and some ezines are no longer published at all for whateverreason.

2. Announcement Lists
Another way to contact hundreds, if not thousands, ofpotential publishers, is through what we call articleannouncement lists.

An article announcement list is a type of mailing list thatconcentrates on article submissions. The subscribers of themailing list are either publishers looking for content,providers of that content (i.e. article writers such asyourself), or possibly both.

Every article you submit to these lists get sent to all ofthe subscribers of that list - by submitting to multiplelists, you're effectively sending out your article tothousands of potential publishers.
You can find a listing of suitable article announcementlists at

3. Article Directories
There are numerous such article directories on the web thatallow you to submit your articles, and allow subsequentretrieval by publishers. I've located several of them, aslisted at http://www.submityourarticle.com/course/articledirectories.php

After submitting an article to some of these, I'm oftenamazed at the amount of instant traffic and sales it canbring, often because many of the directories display a'Recent Articles'-type listing which dramatically improvesthe profile of your article for a short period after yoursubmission.

I've now shown you exactly how to go about submitting yourarticle all over the Internet, exactly the same methodsused by people who are now considered to be 'gurus' on theInternet. Yes, it can be hard work - but who said successwas easy?
