Article submission to free reprint article directories is a most effective viral marketing method. Its advantages are numerous, and include: fast visibility to major search engines, credibility boost, targeted traffic and targeted Back Links to your website, and many more advantages. For the above reasons, many online marketers, site owners and copywriters now engage in submission to article directories. In order to give an article maximum exposure, the article author / submitter must submit his article to as many directories as he can, which makes the submission a tedious process. Many authors try to save themselves the bother by registering to automatic online submission engines which are solutions intended at taking care of the article submission process. However, it is important to note that those automatic article submission services may harm the authors copy-rights as the following description notes: Automatic article submission engines are mainly automatic, and relate to submission forms in a most general manner, thus not giving any special attention to the submission form fields. By doing so, the received articles are not necessarily transmitted in the correct manner to the article directory, so that the result is usually articles with mixed and/or empty fields, and from my experience especially the resource box itself and its links. In most cases, such an article is rejected for publishing, but bare in mind that in case the article does get published, this may result in your article appearing free for reprint use, with no resource box or back links to your website. Being the chief editor for free-article-zone and an article author myself, I witness that phenomena occur on a daily basis, and do hurt for those authors who put much of their time into writing unique and valuable articles, only to have their efforts washed down the drain with automatic article submission engines faults. The best advice I have for other authors is to make the time and submit their articles manually. If you do not have the time for massive submission, the second alternative may be to browse through article directories, mark a few that seem like they have quality content and are managed by human editors, and manually submit only to those directories. If you insist on using automatc submission services my advice is to take a moment to evaluate an automatic article submission service before using it see articles submitted by that engine in different article directories before you use it, and make you choice only after investigating the service efficiency thoroughly. Good luck! |
