There are alot of reasons why people use article directories. One of the first things is the obvious to most people.. The Vast numbers are looking for information on a topic. They searched it and we have and article or two that fit the keywords they used in the search. Maybe there just looking around! Whatever the case,ppl are going to use the internet to find and research topics so they can be more informed. Make better decisions with more detailed information to base it from.

So...since there are so many looking and searching , we have an opportunity to provide the masses with what they are searching for...Right! Lets ask a few questions of ourselves. For the record I am 47,male so these questions will probably reflect that lol.

1. What do ppl search for? =What do you search for?
2. Do ppl always now exactly what they want? Not as much as you might think.
3. Do ppl always know where they will find what they want? would guess no! Not really a guess:)
4. Are there ppl out there that know what and where? Of course there are!

Point being that the more useful information a site has..that ppl are looking for..the more ppl will end up at your site. So ppl will use article directories to get content,spread there content which in turn they leave links to there sites and so on. Get the idea?

Have fun writing about things that interest you and spead the word about it! Leave links to your pages and increase the traffic. Get free content for your pages and post them with the authors links intact. This way we all win and get more traffic!

There are two ways to build up backlinks with this tactic. First, you may pepper links to your own websites within the articles you write, since many article directories allow links to be submitted within the submissions. Secondly, each article will have a link pointing to your site at the bottom of the submission, in order to show who the original author of the article is. These links are especially effective because many people will use articles from these directories on their own sites. Whenever your article is used on someone else’s site, you gain even more backlinks. This means that the return you get is nearly perpetual!

You can add your "resource box" at the end of the article and any site or ezine which posts your article must also post your resource box which includes your websites URL.

This will not only increase traffic to your website directly but will also increase your all important "link popularity". This will improve the ranking of your website for given keywords on all the search engines.

Writing articles is a superb linking strategy! Here is the process and how it works:

1. Send out articles that you've written.
2. Articles are then reprinted in newsletters or on websites.
3. People then read the articles.
4. They then click on the link to your site at the end of the article.
5. Suddenly you have traffic coming in!

You receive free advertising and webmasters recieve free content, this creates a win-win situation all the way around! That is the magic of writing articles!

Additional strategies

Tools are one of the most popular techniques used to gain links. Examine some of the popular tools in your industry that have attracted high-quality links before. Then have a programmer create a mash-up of those tools. That way, users can find the answers to all their questions in one location.

Creating compelling content is only part of the job. The next aspect is the promotion. This can be incorporated into your traditional media campaigns, such as print and radio. You can also take advantage of social media outlets such as Netscape and Digg. Below are three promotional methods that can help you spread the word.

1. Bloggers – Find the influential bloggers for your industry and get them to write about your new content. Think like a politician in how you approach the bloggers. Some might be seduced with flattery, while others expect a kickback.

2. Newsletters and Ezines – Often, sponsoring newsletters is fairly inexpensive, making it easy to run ads in several ezines at a time. This can help to promote buzz by getting in front of a targeted audience.

3. Pay-Per-Click – Purchase inexpensive keywords related to your new content. This can be especially beneficial for helping to increase traction for the sites that do not rank well.

In addition, the branding and exposure from the PPC campaign will be beneficial. People are more likely to link to sites they are familiar with or have seen before. It is all about trust.

There are many other ways to promote the content, particularly for those who are good at guerrilla marketing. It is also important to keep the buzz up as the campaign progresses. If things seem to be slowing down, it might be time to contact a few more bloggers or have a radio personality put in a few more plugs.

Take full advantage of all the linking possibilities with great content. It can lead to some great backlinks and new customers at the same time.

So have fun and build your Link popularity today!
