Article submission has always been a popular SEO technique for getting backlinks to the site. Many people are using article submission to promote their website, product and services because it is free of charge. Most of the major article directories don’t charge a fee for the author to publish their articles on the site. When submitting to the article directories, it is important that you read the submission guidelines so that your article will have lesser chance of getting rejected by the editor.
The article must be optimized with keywords. If you optimize the articles with keyword, you will be able to rank well for them on the search engine. The keyword should have low competition. If the competition of the keyword is high, you won’t be able to rank for them. The highly competitive keywords are dominated by the websites that have high authoritative points. The article should contain at least 3% of keywords. Some article directories are very strict. If one of the keywords exceed more than 3%, it will give you a warning and prevent you from submitting it until you make the changes.
There are many keyword density checker software or online tool which you can use the check the keyword density of the article. If you want the article to rank for several keywords, you can aim for several keywords. You can use a keyword research tool to find the keywords which you will be aiming in your article. The keywords should receive sufficient traffic. If the statistic shows that the keyword has little traffic, it is best that you don’t use it because there people probably won’t be searching for it.
The ideal length of the article is 400 – 500 words. The article should not exceed more than 700 words. If it is too long, people will not read it. Most visitors are willing to read articles that don’t have a lot of words so that they can easily skimp through the content. By skimming through the content, they can save a lot of time and move on to another article quickly.
The article should only deal on the main points. It should not contain too many details. If it is rich with details, the visitors will no longer be interested in learning more about your website. By providing limited information in the article, the visitors will be eager to visit your website to learn more information.
Many article directories forbid you to use duplicate article for submission. PLR articles cannot be used to submit to the article directories. If you don’t know how to write original article, you can hire a writer to help you. Many SEO companies provide article writing and submission service. Every SEO company has a different pricing so you should do research on each of them. The price should not be the primary deciding factor. The quality of the article is more important. The cost of the article writing should not exceed your budget. If you order in bulk, the SEO company may give you a discount.
