Then there`s all article directories, and there`s TONS of them. It`s hard work submitting manually to them all, but then at least you know for definite that they WERE actually submitted. Don`t worry, I`m not going to make you search for them, I`ll list all my favourites here for you, and that`s gonna at least cut down a little on your work-load...hehehe

So here goes:

The first one is my personal favourite, as they make a webpage for your article and submit it to search engines for free. The rest are in no particular order:

Always add your "Resource Box" and copyright information with EVERY article and EVERY submission, it`s free advertising for you, and if your articles are good enough, they will be used over and over again.

Good Luck, Happy writing and submitting, and have fun! May you be prosperous in everything you do.

"Netiquette" is a must-have if you`re planning to use forums. What is netiquette, you ask? Basically same as offline etiquette. It is essential to have a good understanding of acceptable ways to communicate with other forum members. That`s why it`s so important to do a LOT of reading in forums before you start posting messages yourself.

This is where good moderators come into play. They check forums for inappropriate posts and spam, they keep boards clean, and make sure everybody plays by rules. Forums without moderators tend to turn into ghost-towns, with nothing but spam bots visiting them. A nice clean board needs good moderators to keep it that way.

In worst-case scenario, if you break rules in a forum, by maybe spamming, or using inappropriate launguage or behaviour, either administrators or moderators may well end up banning you from that particular forum. If that happens, they will most likely delete each and every post you`ve made, whether it`s good or bad.

Happy Visiting and Posting. Anna-Marie Stewart
