Content plays a vital role in the filing or classifying of different websites according to their different categories. Keywords, existing within a particular content, are some of the driving forces behind Search Engine Optimization and other web technologies implemented by major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. It is real for many websites that the quality of their page content can affect their search engine rankings as well as audience traffic.

A website with quality and catchy content tends to get more attention online.

Many people online are seeking for quality information from various sources. If your website or article provides the right details that many users need, chances are your website or article would be visited often and would get very good rankings online. However if you have a poorly written article or page content, then users would most likely shun away from your website and just forget about it.

Article Submission is the strategy of sending out articles to article directories so that they can be viewed and shared with other websites online. Article Submission is only an effective strategy if the article or content being promoted is also worth reading. If an article is catchy or well-written then chances are, many websites would love re-posting your article on their web pages. And this is where real action begins.

In the world of SEO or Search Engine Optimization and Online marketing, content that is promoted on other websites tend to benefit the source or the one who wrote the content.

In Search Engine Optimization, if your articles contain various links that point to your website, and if many people re-posted your article with the links on their websites, then you’ve hit a very good goal. For these inbound links coming from your articles on other people’s websites contribute to your page’s SEO score. And the higher your score, the better your rank in the Search Engines.

Article Submission is really effective if you submit quality content to multiple article directories. If you submit quality articles to a hundred article directories everyday, then you’ve created plenty of opportunities for people to have access or to read your article. This does not only help with your marketing, but can also improve your website ranking.

However, it should be duly noted, that your article should be placed under the proper category when submitting it. There are often penalties given to those websites which post or re-post articles which are not categorically related. So it’s best to shun away from that practice.

Another thing to remember when doing article development and article submission is to emphasize on the keywords which relate to your website. Having sufficient and high-quality keywords can impact your article status on various search engines and directories. The more optimized your keyword is, the better the classification and ranking on the search engines.

So remember that creating content or articles online, helps your website. Submitting those articles to various article directories can also greatly affect your website rankings on the Search Engines.

One of the best mediums to get your literary work across the globe is to write them all on your computer, and spread them all online. No more pens and papers. No more snail mails or fax mail chains.

In this very high-tech world, your simple composition or novel can reach the farthest ends of the world via a simple mouse click.

And now you must be wondering how this could be done, so here’s a little word-play, a story-guideline, if you must call it that way, on how you can achieve this ‘little act’.

8:00AM : You wake up to a bright new morning, and you start thinking of a new article to write. You’ve always had the passion for writing about internet-related activities, but can’t seem to get the right heading for today. Turning on the TV and hearing the latest news, you suddenly become inspired by what you see.

Written on the screen, and flashing like an ambulance car, is the big headline for the breaking news. ‘Microsoft buying Yahoo’, as what the headline says. Scrambling to your feet, you run to the nearest computer or laptop a millisecond could afford you. Flipping the AVR on, but your PC won’t start.

Oops! You forgot to plug the AVR cord in the power outlet. You plug it in, and tried again. This time your PC starts.

8:15AM : Your Microsoft XP finishes loading, and your staring at the blank page of the new document you’ve opened on Microsoft Word.

The words are racing on your head, but you can’t seem to get the perfect pitch to start even just the title. ‘Microsoft-Yahoo, the Search Hybrid’, that seems like a techie passable title to your article. You clack away on your keyboard, formulating the best story that you think can win you a million dollars.

You count the words on your article, 380 – just a little more to go to get the 500-words requirement for several article directories.

9:00 AM : A fresh 500-word article staring at you in the face. Smiling at yourself, you know you’ve written quite an article that is worthy to be viewed by top literary scholars from your university, and even a dozen or so web authors online.

Now it’s time to make the rest of the world know about your article.

9:10 AM : After a ten-minute break, you opened up your Firefox browser and opened several article directories, like Ezinearticles, Buzzle.com, Easyarticles.com, and even Amazines.com. You prepare a list of keywords related to the topic, and type a catchy summary.

You then prepare a small paragraph about how good an author you are, and add some links to your website inside the Author’s Resource Box. You get all these information – the title, the summary, the body of the article, the author’s information and resource, as well as the keywords you’ve compiled, and jot them all down on the forms provided by each of the article directories.

Press Submit, and you’re through.

9:30 AM : If you’re an avid writer or have a premium account, your article would be approved by editors quickly. But if you keep a free membership the article might go live after a few minutes to 3-6 hours.

It’s a given that you have premium membership.

9:45 AM : Your article goes live and is sent through various RSS channels for maximum exposure.

10:00AM : People from other corners of the world read your article and start admiring your work.

Now, wasn’t that easy?

This method of promotion can draw attention to your website when you are listed in article directories.

Include how-to articles, description articles about your product and informational articles about what your online business can provide potential customers.

Think creatively and generate as much content about your online business as possible.

For example, if you sell “designer custom jeans” on your website, writing articles about the history of designer jeans, current trends in denim jean fashion, how to find the perfect pair of jeans, etc. and posting it in online article directories will bring in additional traffic on your website from readers who may not have even thought they were interested in buying a custom pair of jeans in the first place.
