subject: How To Submitt Articles For Free [print this page] There are article directories where you can submit articles for free. Article marketing has increased in popularity due to the low costs, the efficiency of traffic increase and the possibility to implement strategies without too much marketing education. If this domain is new to you, you should start by doing a bit of research to identify the top free article directories that you can work with. Once you get at least ten or twenty names, you can move on to the next level and see what each has to offer.
Before you create an account, it is good to see what such directories require for submission and whether their conditions are convenient to you. Normally, there are not too many differences between article directories. Most of the issues appear when it comes to the keyword density, the number and the type of incorporated links and the author resource box. Let's take each of these in turn and see how to submit articles for free without encountering any problem.
The keyword density is an issue for article distribution if it is higher than 4%. Normally, when the keyword predominates in a certain article, it makes it difficult to read, it becomes unpleasant for the reader and it drastically lowers the quality of the material. Keep the keyword density between 1% and 4% and it will be just fine.
The incoporated links are not accepted by all article directories. There are only a few services that allow for the use of anchor text links within the body of the articles. The rest of directories allow only for the inclusion of one or two simple URLs in the author resource box. It is ideal to submit articles for free to those directories that let you use anchor text links, because they are a lot more relevant when it comes to traffic increase.
The author resource box may also include anchor text links or simple URLs, depending on the article directory policy. As for the details included in the box: they refer to the author's bio and professional activity. This box plays the most important part because it enables readers to click on the link to your website and covert into prospects. Organize the information in the author box efficiently, without too many details.
All in all, the effort to submit articles for free may prove rewarding for a limited period of time. But this could be enough to create the financial resources to actually pay for submission with better rated directories.
