Using Niche Article Directories
Webmasters are now trying more and more ways of getting relevant inbound links to their websites. Blog comments, forum posts, directory submissions, link swapping to name a few techniques.In the midst of all this, article submission still plays an important part, as submitting articles do three things for your business!1. It can generate inbound links for your site. This is done when webmasters use your articles on their website or in their Newsletter.2. It can send traffic directory to your site from the article. Having a readable and enticing Resource box will send visitors straight to your site hungry for more. If you have a long article (I would suggest at least 800 words to be effective), why not submit the first part and then direct readers to your site to read the second part? This will get you traffic! Or you could run a series and tell the reader they can read Part 2 at your website.3. It positions you as an authority in your field, or give the perception of such. If a reader finds your article and then visits your site, they will have made a decision about you based on the article. Normally if they are visiting you from an article it means you have something that they want and in these cases your ability to convert them into a customer is greatly improved. So when you are writing content try and make sure it is not just a Search Engine friendly piece. Make sure you have something real to say or provide some great tips.One way to enhance all of the facets of article submission is to submit articles to the niche article sites, not just the major general directories such as EzineArticles, GoArticles and NetterWeb. While these are great resources, why stop there, dig around and find some little directories in your niche. Just as we are told to get links from relevant niche sites, why wouldn't we submit our articles to relevant niche article directories, surely this makes sense?Some of the article submission services do offer some niche directories but in the main you are better searching for these gems in Google.
