Popularity

It does no good to submit to a site if nobody is ever going to see it. Right now there are three major article submission sites:

Article Depot – www.articledepot.co.uk

GoArticles – www.goarticles.com

Ezine Articles – www.ezinearticles.com

These 3 account for probably around 75%-80% of market. They get thousands of unique visitors starving for content to use on their sites and in their forums.

The best advice when choosing a submission site is to pick only a few and stick with them. These should be sites you are comfortable with and fit characteristics above. Good luck and happy submitting!

Don’t Oversell

It may be your intention to sell your product but overdoing it may result in opposite effect. Webmasters are wary to use your article if it reads as an advertisement, so leave out blatant sales pitch. Instead give general advice and use About Author box to showcase your site or company. For example, a Web Hosting company will do better to write an article helping readers choose a Host rather than constantly talking about what they offer. Let reader decide!

Get It Distributed

This may not have to do with actual writing of article but is a crucial piece. After all, your main goal is to get as many people to read it as possible. Your best option is to use free article distribution sites like:

Article Depot – www.articledepot.co.uk

GoArticles – www.goarticles.com

Ezine Articles – www.ezinearticles.com

By submitted to Top 3, you can save hours of work submitting to individual sites.
