It's no secret that submitting well-written, keyword rich articles to the major article directories is an excellent way to promote your business or product.

Placing online articles is probably the most effective traffic-generating technique available today. If you do it right, it can lead to:

An increase in targeted traffic
A rise in newsletter subscribers
And a boost in sales and profits

The real problem with submitting articles is that it takes a huge amount of time... I mean it can take hours per article if you're doing it manually using the article directory list below.

So what are Your article submission options?

If you want to make writing and placing articles in the directories one of your main internet marketing strategies, then you really have four options for getting the job done.

Use the article directory list below and submit your article to each of the article directories one at a time.

This can be an extremely tedious task and can take several hours per article... but it's also very effective. You can be sure that your article made it into each one of the directories exactly the way you want it to appear.

In addition, you'll probably put more time into each one of your articles than if you use the other options because you'll really want each article to count.
Use article submission software to automatically submit your articles. I used to do things this way, but it is still very time-consuming.
Use a personal assistant to get the job done. It can be very costly to go this route, but your time will be freed up to do other things... like write more articles.
Use an article submission service. This is the way I submit articles to thousands of directories,webmasters, newsletters, groups, and ezines and I highly recommend it. The one I use is Article Marketer... they offer a lot of different categories and unlimited articles for a small yearly fee. If you're planning on writing at least two articles per month, then they are a good choice.

While you're trying to decide which option is right for you and your budget, take a look at my top article directory list below. Keep in mind that there are new article directories popping up daily and their quality varies.

Do you have a really good article directory that I should add to my article directory list? If you do, let me know and I'll check it out.

By the way... I highly recommended Article Marketer in the article submissions I outlined above because it's quick and easy. So, if you have any questions, send me a message and I'll try to answer them. After all, my product recommendation isn't much good if I don't back it up!

Best Wishes,
