Generate Backlinks To Your Blog By Submitting Online Articles

Posted on August 21st, 2007 in Search Engine Optimization, Drive Traffic To Your Blog by Stephanie

A great way to generate backlinks to your blog is by submitting online articles.  Ezines Articles is a popular article submission website which serves millions of unique visitors monthly and allows you to add a link to your blog/website underneath your article which therefore gives it increased exposure and credibility.  If you write an article that is related to your blog’s main subject area and submit it, if your article is good then publishers looking for new material for their ezines, newsletters, etc. will publish it on their websites and will give you a link back to your website in exchange.  Helpful, well-written articles are snapped up daily by thousands of publishers from around the world in virtually all industries so you could potentially generate a lot of links from a single article which should help your search engine optimization.  Also readers of your article will see you as a credible source since you have been published and if they like what you have written, then chances are they will click on the link to your blog so this will also increase traffic to it!

This is actually one of my favorite ways to build links from relevant websites. Unfortunately most websites that use articles from these databases are not that great but on occasion you can get a link from a PR3 or PR4 website.

I do my best to submit at least 1 article per week (on average) for every websites that I own.

Execellent idea. I can imagine that a particularly well-written article in the proper niche could really pay dividends. Thanks for the suggestion.

A good way to submit article and get more backlink, but this really time consuming. We need to prepare an article at least need one hour to complete it. Not really worth to do so. Just my opinion. :)

An oldie but a goodie. No doubt still one of the best way to get keyword targeted links to your site. My recommendation is to make sure you automate this process as it is quite time consuming. I submit new articles for domains every other day. All I do is write it and place it in a software that is fully automated and sends it to 200 specific Article directory I have chosen because of PR and letting the author add links inside the post instead of the Author signature.

Best of luck

I agree that articles can be really powerful, you just need to think a little laterally and go about it systematically.

If you’re going to try article marketing, I suggest you need to keep at it as just doing the odd one or two, especially for competitive keywords will not really do anything.

This means either putting in a lot of time, or paying to get the whole thing created and automated for you.

Vic, can you tell us which software you are using?
This concept has been around for years, but I am finally realizing that I will have to make the time to write good articles, but if the software you mentioned is good, it will be worth the trouble whether it is for your blog or website.
Thanks

Still article submission is going strong and stays a good method to get backlinks.

Links inside content is the way to go this days.

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for the article. I knew somewhat about SEO, but I wasn’t too familiar with it. With your article, I now understand the process and I understand why some blog and why some write great articles. Thank you for the post and I appreciate the knowledge you have given me.
