To get the maximum benefit from any web marketing effort, you need to pay attention to both the advertising side AND natural search engine traffic. The first is easier to do, as there are tons of great marketing firms out there that can knock it out of the park with web advertising. An often ignored area, or at least undervalued, is building up natural search engine traffic. The reason is its harder to build up for each desired keyword and takes a lot of effort. Once this is done properly, your website will get built in traffic daily without spending a dime on it, and best of all this traffic source is long term and permanent. Using an article directory can be an important part of this endeavor and should be utilized for maximum impact.

 

Using an article directory allows users to post content related to their website, and include links in this content back to their site. The search engines love article directories and consider some of them an authority source. Ignoring this source of possible links is not a good idea. While it can seem difficult to write so much content to be submitted to article directories over time, in the longer run it really will pay off.

 

To get the maximum benefit from using an article directory, you need to be able to spin your content. What is spinning? Its really very simple. It simply uses a computer program to auto substitute words and sentences randomly in place of what is written. So you might write “The dog is brown”. If you wanted to take this and spin the content, you could easily say “The dogs fur is white” or “The dogs fur is yellow in color”. All of the sentences are saying the same thing in a slightly different way - the general content remains the same, only minor details are changed. Doing this with your articles can actually create huge amounts of “new” content from a single article you write. Sure you have to provide the alternatives to substitute with, but then a computer does all the rest. This will give you maximum impact and protect you from getting penalized by the search engines for duplicate content submitted to article directories.

 

Altering the content around a main article allows someone to submit the content to many different article directorires and not have to worry that the same exact content is being submitted.

10 or 15 copies of the same article submitted is totally fine, but you do not want 200 copies of the exact same article text submitted to directories on the web.
