Which Are The Best Article Directories With The Most Exposure?
January 31, 2009 by Jason58
If you know anything at all about marketing online then you will no doubt have heard about article directories.
There are hundreds of these all over the internet, but that doesn’t mean it is worth submitting to all of them. If you get to know what the best article submission sites are and you submit your articles to them regularly, you can expect to get a lot of exposure and a potentially huge number of people reading your articles and clicking on your link to visit your website too.
So which sites should you be going to? Here are the top three:
Ezine Articles
This is a huge article directory and it is easily known as being the best one of the lot. At the time of writing it has over one hundred and twenty thousand authors who have realized its benefits, and that number is set to keep rising.
There are plenty of reasons why you should submit your articles to this site, but the main one is definitely that Google loves it with a passion. If you look up almost any subject on that search engine, the chances are very high that you will find at least one article from Ezine Articles ranking somewhere on the first page.
There are also plenty of good categories to post your articles in, and you will find the member’s dashboard is full of information and very easy to use as well.
Buzzle
Despite the rather strange name this site is a definite hit with anyone wanting to increase the traffic to their website.
It looks a lot more polished than a lot of article directories, and each author gets their own profile page which they can fill out with some information about themselves. This page also contains an author widget which should encourage some of your ardent readers to tell everyone about you on their web page!
And you can of course also link through to your website, to get that much needed traffic you are after. You can do this from your profile and also from the end of each article you write.
As with Ezine Articles there are plenty of categories to post your content to, and the process is made as easy as possible. This should definitely be on your ‘to do’ list to join if you are not already a member.
Search Warp
This site promotes itself as a writer’s community, and it certainly is. But don’t let that fool you into thinking that you won’t get plenty of exposure and traffic from posting your articles here.
The author’s dashboard is a great place to start, with lots of data and information on all the articles you submit. Not only can you see how much traffic each article is getting, you will also see whether each piece is getting search engine referrals. You can also generate a fan club at Search Warp, so if people like what you are writing about, you could benefit in more than one way.
Area219.com
This site calls itself a content directory, and takes article submissions on almost any topic. One of the advantages of using Area219.com is that they allow you to insert your Adsense publisher ID into your profile and then shares the ad impressions on your article pages with you 50/50.
The site is fairly new but will undoubtedly grow exponentially once people start seeing the benefit of sharing the Adsense revenue with the directory.
These are some the top article directories online today, so make sure you are a part of all of them.

One thing I have learned in the business world is that it's best to learn through a coach. When you think of it, every successful athlete has a coach, as do most business people. It's a bit of a jungle out there and a coach can help you navigate through all of the confusion.
You can really earn some serious income as a creative writer and having a graphic artist to back you means you can have a beautiful website up and running in no time. You could sell your stories or write creatively to sell something else. Dr. Joe Vitale of the Secret offers many books on hypnotic marketing and with your skills, you have a leg-up on most people!
There is a program out there that really teaches the ins and outs of how to market yourself and I feel it was worth every dime. What I like is that the whole program is done with videos so you are essentially looking over the teacher's shoulder so you can see exactly what you need to do. This program could change your life.
Hope this helps.
