How do article submission sites work?

[ErikJ]

The most important thing when article marketing is to have a good eye catching title and a good article. If it is good then the search engine sites will pick up on it then the traffic wil follow. But most importantly, if the article is interesting and provides information to your target audience then other people will post your article on their site for you increasing your traffic exponentially.

So the first thing is to have a good article. From my experience writing it yourself is the best way.

There is a lot of prep time in getting this established: You must create a user account for each individual article site first, store your passwords into your IE or firefox, and THEN proceed to submit the articles.

Many of the article sites have "CAPTCHA" checks in place, so this is what prevents these programs from being 100% automated. Even though you end up still going to each website to submit the article, it auto fills in the URL, TItle, Keywords etc. etc.

After the initial 2 hour preptime it took to create accounts for each of these sites and store the passwords, I can get an article submitted to all 50 sites in about 15 minutes.

There are other tools similiar to this out there.

SocialMarker? Wow I never heard. I am going to try it.

I've tried to submit to things like E-Zine, and it was just a form that I had to copy and paste my article into.

How do you get those hits to your site? Do you insert the link to the original article at the end, or is there another step where it offers you to put the link in?

you should create your bio/info this will have the link to your site and will become part of your article, so everytime someone finds your article they will also see your site info at the bottom of your article, and if interested, will click to your site
