Finding the Best Article Submission Services on the Web

By Martin Sejas

The easiest and most powerful way to maximize the power of your articles on the Internet is by using article submission services. No wonder they are one of the cornerstones of effective article marketing.

What Is An Article Submission Service?

An article submission service is a service which submits your articles to a wide range of article directories for you in exchange for a small fee.

What normally happens is that you would go to each article directory and submit your article to them manually. For example, if you want to submit to EzineArticles, you would have to open an account there, log in and submit the article. If you wanted to do the same thing in Go Articles, you would follow the same process.

This is obviously a time consuming process and this is where article submission services come in handy. They perform the whole submission process on your behalf at hundreds of article directories. You submit once and they do all the work for you.

Why You Need To Submit To Article Directories On The Web?

When you submit an article to an article directory on the Web, this represents a link back to your website (more commonly known as backlinks). In general, the more backlinks to your website, the higher your website ranking will be in the search engines. And the better you rank, the more traffic your website gets and the more sales you can make.

By submitting to many article directories, you can potentially create hundreds of links back to your website.

The Duplicate Content Issue

Major search engines such as Google have an algorithm which penalises those websites which copy content from other websites.

As a result, there is a fear that if you submit the exact same article to various article directories, that those backlinks will not be valuable in the eyes of the search engines and will not help your ranking much at well.

This is in fact true.

Nevertheless, the top article submission services out there ask that you write variations of your article so that it appears slightly different at each online article directory. A good article variation percentage is 30% (at the minimum).

This allows you to overcome (or at minimise) the duplicate content issue.

Which Ones Are The Best Article Submission Services?

I’ve used a lot of article submission services in the last 2 years as an Internet marketer, and I can safely say that most of them have not been great in terms of results and dealing with the duplicate content issue.

Luckily for you, you won’t have to go through such a tough learning and experimental curve. I’ve found what I believe to the 2 best article submission services on the Web today.

Submit Your Article (SYA)

This article submission service allows you to submit your article to the major article directories (such as EzineArticles and Go Articles) as well as publishers on their network who are constantly looking for content.

It has a system called Article Leverage which allows you to write variations of your article for distribution.

It costs $US47 a month, which is pretty cheap compared to the massive value you can potentially get.

Article Marketing Automation (AMA)

This article submission service is very similar to Submit Your Article but with a big twist.

It does not submit to article directories online.

And because it doesn’t do that, you do not have to submit resources boxes.

On the contrary, AMA possess a number of blogs which publish your articles if they think the content is good. Good content is rewarded by a high number of people re-publishing that content on their blogs, meaning more backlinks and better search engine rankings for you.

With AMA, it’s more like submitting blog posts and not articles. This is because AMA allows you to put 3 links on each article unlike SYA.

You cannot underestimate AMA and its benefits. It’s also cheap at $US 47 a month because you can get massive value if used correctly.

Make A Decision

It’s time to decide whether you are going to manually submit your articles to article directories or whether you are going to allow someone else to do it on a much grander and faster scale for a small monthly fee.

The best way to think about article submission services is that they are an investment with a high ROI, because this way you will realise that you would be crazy not to use them.
