Why Use Article Submission Sites?

Article submission is a part of online-website-marketing campaign which is utterly important to drive traffic to your website. Interestingly, if you have good quality informative article, you are sure to get one step ahead of your nearest competitor. On the other hand, poor quality articles can not ensure you success (read as quality back-links).

The more the merrier: more articles you have for people to read, the more traffic you can expect to receive. Basically, there are two ways of submitting articles to directories — write articles and submit them to hundreds of directories manually…though it is a time-tested job, is truly very effective. The other way to get your articles submitted to different sites is by using article submission sites. They can alter your article to send out hundreds of different sites. In this case, articles are developed by spinning keywords leaving you with semi unique choppy content — it is by no means a true unique content.

On the other hand, writing articles from different perspective and submitting them to search engines manually would be beneficial for your site. When you have good content in your armory, you can expect getting quality back links with a better position in the search engines.

Simplicity is the heart’s ‘Content’


Many people believe that using complicated sentences, age-old expression, literary jargon, Johnsonese enrich quality of writing and people like it…it is actually not so. Modern writing reflects different genre of ideas. We write for a purpose not for showing our literary skills. Keeping this idea in mind we should structure every sentence that can straightway say what we think.

It is really disappointing that many professional writers, who are engaged in print media and web rarely think of this matter. They keep on writing pages one after another without giving a second thought to their target audience. It should be remembered that your writing is meant for all age groups – from children to crack-jawed old people. Write to feed them all…

Besides age difference, location also plays an important role in such cases. Suppose you have used an expression, which carries significant meaning in your country while the same expression bears different connotation in another part of the world. Your effort will be in vain if such incident happens.

It is a crime when you write a simple thing in a round about way…reader will be least interested in your writing. The main reason is they won’t spend too long to decipher meaning of your sentence. If they face difficulty at the first read they would form a ‘first impression’ in their mind. And I am sure they would hesitate to read your write up in the next time.

When you are writing for a purpose, try to highlight that idea at the beginning instead of giving it in the middle or at the end unless otherwise reader will not be interested to read your article. Shed off unnecessary words for driving your point to the reader at the shortest time. Use of bombastic words, phrases and expressions is not a good sign of writing. These make copy unnecessary heavier.

There is no use of giving pain to others by using complicated sentences when you can express your ideas through simple ones. So, forget using complicated sentences. It will pay for you…
