What are Article Directories?

Article directories are very much like other web directories, but with a slight difference.
Unlike regular online directories where they list hundreds or even thousands of other online websites, article directories list extensive amounts of articles in a assortment of different topics or niches.
These topics are broken down into separate categories and permit you to create your own free account and submit as many articles as you wish.

Your Articles And Submitting Them

When submitting your articles to different article directories it is always better to submit your individual articles and not use PLR (Private Label Rights) as most article directories will only allow unique content.
Some article directories will in fact let you use PLR articles if you have spun them sufficiently to somewhere in the region of 30% - 50%. Article spinning is a procedure where you can get any article and break it down sentence by word to create more unique looking content.
When you submit your article to the most applicable category you can also supply a resource box at the bottom of your article where you can add links to your website. Some directories only allow one link, but the majority allow 2 or three links which in turn helps you add deeper links to your site.

The Benefits Of Submitting To Article Diretories

The benefits are that for every article you write you will be creating a resource box where you can set your own anchor text employing your keywords pointing to your site. This will help get your website indexed in the search engines.
Submitting your articles to the higher quality article directories allows your article to be seen by a greater audience as these sites have very good SEO (Search Engine Optimization). The more articles you publish the better chance your site will receive traffic from the search engines and lead to sales and clients.
