In this article , I will be discussing on these 2 different ways to submit articles and the pros and cons of each method.
1)Manual Article Submission
This means that you create accounts manually at each article directory and submit your article manually to each directory.
Pros : Manual article submission involves no cost at all. Also, by submitting articles manually, you can accurately place your article in the exact category which your article belongs to . This is important as directories will reject your article if your article is placed in the wrong category. Therefore , If you will to submit articles manually , you will not face this problem.
Cons : Manual Article Submission is extremely time consuming. There is a great deal of work involved in submitting an article. In order to fully utilize article marketing to improve your website ranking position , you will need to submit your articles to as many directories as possible ( i.e hundreds of directories ). It is impossible for anyone to submit articles to hundreds of directories manually .
With Manual article submission , you are limited to submitting your articles to a limited amount of directories. This would mean that you need to write much more articles in order to see some tangible results. This writing process can be very tiring in the long run , making it hard for you to maintain your article marketing campaign in the long run. For those who hates to write , I would suggest you to steer clear from manual article submission .
2)Using An Article Submitter Software
An Article Submitter software is basically a software which can create accounts and submit articles to directories automatically in a short period of time
Pros : The article submitter software comes with a list of high ranking article directories. The software can also help you submit articles to hundreds of directories automatically. It can work in autopilot mode meaning that you do not have to oversee the submission procedure. With this multitude of submission , the number of back links directing to your website will also increase significantly.
Cons : Each article directory has a unique list of category to place your articles in. The underlying problem with most article submitter is that the software is unable to accurately place your articles in the right category. This may cause your article to be rejected. Therefore, the success rate of your article being accepted by directories will not be 100 %. The success rate may hover around 70-80%. This means that if you will to submit your articles to 500 directories , about 350 400 directories will accept your articles.
If you will to compare this with manual article submission , using an article submitter is still relatively better in terms of creating high quality back links to your website.
