SEO Marketing Articles is an article directory that has over 1300 authors and has published over 6000 articles. By Senior Writer

When I started my first website, I started looking for as many
article directories with high page rank as possible to submit my
article to. It did not take long to realize that some lower page
rank directories generated more traffic for my article, in turn
generating more viewers to my site. While it is true that some
of the most popular article directories provide great results,
it is important to remember that page rank is not everything.
If you are a somewhat experienced Webmaster and you have been
submitting articles for some time here is a good way to find
these valuable, hidden article directories. Copy the title of a
few of your older articles and do a google search. Most likely
the top spot and possibly the second and third are from well
established directories. Now think of all of the article
directories that are out there. I would take a stab in the dark
and say there are around fifty thousand of them. Now look at the
rest of the results. If you use an article submitter service it
is much easier to see my point. Say you submit your article to
200 directories. The first page of results probably shows a few
directories that you have never even heard of. These are the
valuable, secret directories.
So how do they provide such great results? They do this my
optimizing their site. Here are a few things you should look for
in an article directory before you submit your article to it:
- Do the links in the signature block contain a no follow tag?
If so, this is not the directory to submit to. A no follow tag
will prevent your link from gaining page rank from the
publishers page.
- Is the sitemap organized and complete? Check to see if all of
the main categories are in the sitemap. Also be sure that at
least a few of the subcategories of each main category are
included. If the sitemap is not organized and complete google
may not index the page that your article lands on for a while.
- Find out how many pages of the article directory google has
indexed by doing a search query like this: site:http colon
forward slash forward slash www dot example dot com If this
number is over a couple thousands you should be ok. If it is
under one thousand then this article directory make have
indexing issues.
- Find out the last time the page was indexed by clicking on the
cache option in the google toolbar. If the site has not been
cached for weeks then it may not be frequently updated. You
should not base your decision whether to submit your article to
the directory off of this alone. This is just something to keep
in mind.
Keep these tips in mind when you are looking for directories to
submit your article to and your article marketing campaign is
sure to be successful.
