1. Benefits.

Anyone do Internet marketing for a while will know that writing article is very necessary to Internet marketing success. Having articles in many different article directories is a very good way of providing links back to your website, because it builds your site’s link popularity. The more links back to your site, the better position your site will get in search engines. An article directory with a high Page Rank is the best place to submit your articles to, and it is also helpful to boost your Page Rank. The best article directory may be Ezinearticles.com.

When you have tons of articles of your own posted in a article directory, you could establish your authority in your niche, people may also tend to trust your recommendations.

2. How often.

Although it may be very attractive to write a bunch of article in one day and submit them to a few directories, but be careful with it!!! Because Google may take care of a sudden surge in traffic to a link. Although we all would love a sudden surge in traffic, but it could cause Google to de-index your site in order to check out why your site can get the sudden popularity. So it might be best submit articles regularly, just like you blogging.

3. Original Content.

In the process of article marketing, don’t try to submit an article which already exists on your site. It might be considered duplicate content and you can’t benefit from it! Google may consider the site which is higher ranking to be originator of the article, and the article on your site may be considered duplicate content. It is very dangerous to do this. And also don’t submit PLR articles before rewriting! These are seen as spam, both Google and the article directory which you submit to will ban your site.

4. Use SEO Strategies.

Use SEO strategies in your articles. For example, insert keywords in your articles’ title and also the first paragraph. Don’t think article marketing so easy, you have to try your best to promote it, because you want to benefit from it, right?

5. Hyperlinks Strategy.

Most article directories allow you to insert hyperlinks in articles. So try to insert anchor text that relates to the keywords you are targeting. This would help you get a better position in search engine result pages.
