How frequently to submit articles?

Serious article directories will only allow you to submit one article per week. There are, however, those that will allow you to submit as many as you want, as often as you want.

While this may be something that you want to do, you should also consider the fact that search engines don’t like it when you build too many inbound links in a short period of time.

The best thing that you can do is to write and submit one article per week. However, remember that you only want to submit one article to about ten directories each week. There is a list of the twenty top article directories in the previous section of this report. This means that you could actually write two articles each week, submitting the first one to the first ten on the list, and the second one to the second ten on the list.

Yes, it is slow – especially if you are hoping to build inbound links. But it is well worth it to take it slow, for numerous reasons. You should also consider the amount of time it takes to write and submit one article per week. Many people just don’t have that kind of time, and cannot afford to pay for a submission service.

There is another option for wider distribution in a shorter period of time. You can start building your own database of ezine publishers that accept articles in your niche. Simply visit an ezine directory, such as Ezine Locator at http://www.ezinelocater.com/. Search for ezines in your category, and look at each listing to see if they accept articles. Start adding those article submission email addresses to your Autoresponder.

Now, you can write three articles per week, and easily get them submitted. One article to ten article directories, one article to another ten article directories, and a third article sent to hundreds of ezine publishers for inclusion in their newsletter.

Because many ezine publishers put each issue of their newsletter on the Internet, you don’t want to send them the articles that you’ve published to the article directories. Use an article that you’ve written for ezine publication specifically.

Be very careful with your database of ezine publishers. Make sure that you send a request first. Simply ask them if they would like to receive articles from you for possible inclusion in their publication. If they say yes, put them in your Autoresponder. If they say no, leave them alone.

There is no maximum limit when it comes to how many articles you should submit over time. Even those marketers that have been in the game for years still write and submit articles each and every week – or they have someone do it for them at the very least.
