Why Submitting Articles are Important for SEO and Traffic.
Writing a simple article on any subject matter can be used to generate traffic
to your website as well as create multiple valuable backlinks.
Each article submission website utilizes an author’s bio section for each article. In that bio section you are allowed to put an html hyperlink. Use that bio section to create a target phrase url that links back to your site.
Article submission site have RSS feeds as well a 1000’s of webmasters and blogs that pull articles form those sites to add to theirs. Each time your article is “re-published” on another website, you just created a free one-way back link to your site.
Over a period of time, your articles will be re-published on numerous sites. An average article on an unpopular topic can still be re-published on 50 or more sites. A popular topic can be re-published on 1000’s of sites. Each one of those will be backlinks if the hyperlinked URL is properly established in the original bio text area of the article.
As your articles age on the re-published sites, and the re-publisher work on their own SEO and Page Rank, your article on their site increase in Page Rank as well.
It is of utmost importance that you do create the proper true HTML hyperlink in the bio section of your article, otherwise the article will be re-published but you will not gain the true live link back to your main site.
Make sure you use code such as this:
<p><a href="http://www.yourwebsitename"> Your Target Keyword Phrase – www.yoursitename</a></p>
This will show the words Your Target Keyword Phrase – www.yoursitename .com with the entire line a live hyperlink back to your site.
Additional tip for checking your back links is to either use your real name as the author, or make up a fictions name that currently does not exist. Reason being, if you do a Google, or Yahoo, or MSN search using quotations marks around the authors name, For example search for “ My Author Name”, you will find all the references to that name that will consist of mainly the article you have submitted. You can see daily with a simple search what back links you are picking up through the simple re-publishing of your article. You can also check that the backlink is Live and the potential PR of those new links.
Some sites that re-publish article give users the option to make comments. You can then make a comment on your article and include a simple phrase to seek more information by going to the same site referenced in the bio while including another hyperlink. If you do make a comment, make sure you reference by name you are the author and don’t attempt to include a hyperlink not already in your article.
By the next Google Page Rank update, all your articles should have page rank of their own, all feeding back to your main site.
You should also notice some traffic in reference to your article if the subject
matter is well written and informative on the topic.
