What to Look for in an Article Submission Site

What to Look for in an Article Submission Site

Ease of Submission

With so many article distribution sites out there, it amazes me that some still
require their submitters to jump through so many hoops. When choosing one, you
should look for the process to be as pain free as possible. Asking you to sign
in is alright, but once they start requiring you to take surveys, confirm multiple
times or give a blood sample its time to go elsewhere. These sites will never
survive in the current atmosphere, so submitting your article may be a waste
of time.



SEO Friendliness

This can be determined in many ways and is important because without SEO benefit,
your article may never get past the submission stage. The first thing to look
for is if they allow live links. These exist when you submit your web address
and people are able to click directly on it. This single feature can have the
most effect on your rankings so it is crucial. Another aspect to SEO friendliness
is the way that the article submission sites urls are displayed. Static ones
(ie. /category/example.htm) are always preferred to dynamic ones (ie. php?id=798).
In most cases this means your article gets found and indexed faster.



Popularity

It does no good to submit to a site if nobody is ever going to see it. Right
now there are three major article submission sites:



Article Depot – www.articledepot.co.uk

GoArticles – www.goarticles.com

Ezine Articles – www.ezinearticles.com



These 3 account for probably around 75%-80% of the market. They get thousands
of unique visitors starving for content to use on their sites and in their forums.



The best advice when choosing a submission site is to pick only a few and stick
with them. These should be sites you are comfortable with and fit the characteristics
above. Good luck and happy submitting!
