October 23, 2009
This article is about writing articles for the purpose of submitting to article submission sites. The reason for submitting articles to these sites is so they are available for the search engines to find when people search for them.
This is part of a marketing strategy to generate free leads. With article submission you can generate unlimited free leads based on how many articles you submit and how well you incorporate compelling content in your articles.
Listed below are the sections of an article required on the submission sites. Write your articles in some type of text program. Don’t forget to spell check!
Title – The title of the article. Make this as compelling as possible so people click on it when searching the internet. The title must contain your primary keyword.
Article Summary – A small description of what the article is about. 2 – 3 sentences and must contain your primary keyword.
Body – The main body of your article. This needs to be 500 to 700 words. Make sure you sprinkle your primary keyword throughout the article including in the first sentence. Don’t over due it. If it is 1000 words or more break it up into multiple articles.
Signature or resource box – The author signature or resource box is where you add a little blurb about yourself and a link to your website or blog. You should put at least two links. One to your website or blog and one to the original article this article was taken from. Which means you should post this article somewhere on the internet. I suggest using it as an article on your website or blog and link to it there.
Category – Choose a category that is appropriate for this article from the list of categories the particular site offers. Some sites are specific to a particular niche, other sites are more general and cover many niches or subjects.
Keywords – Add keywords so people can find your article through the search engines.
Keywords are words that relate to your article and its topic and are interspersed in the article itself. In general, your main keyword should be listed in the title, in the first sentence, sprinkled throughout the article and in the last paragraph. The secondary keywords just have to be sprinkled a little throughout the article.
Now that you have your article what do you do with it? You need to submit it to the different article submission sites. These sites hold articles that people write and the search engines crawl the sites and show the articles in their search engine results.
To submit articles to the article submission sites you need to set up an account on each site. Just go to the site and fill out the registration with your name and email address and set up your pen name. Once you have registered you can log into that site and submit an article. Click on the link for submitting articles, copy and paste from your text file article you wrote to the different sections in the submission form. Follow the rest of the direction and submit the article.
Below is a list of some article submission sites. These are some of the bigger sites. You can submit to these site and get free lead generation. You can search on the internet to find more niche specific sites for your needs.
