Gaining exposure for your web article or blog is crucial in
building a following and book buyers. After writing compelling copy, titles,
descriptions and link strategies, list your blog in as many places as possible.
Your blog or website
They should become the main hub of your content
distribution. Content immediately posted on your blog will get indexed and
ranked in the search engines before the same content is published elsewhere.
e-Zine articles
This article directory currently receives more traffic than
any other directory. To obtain the maximum traffic from this directory,
re-write at least 20% of your original article before submissions. This is
easily accomplished by changing the title and rewriting a few paragraphs. If
you don’t have time to rewrite the content, submit it anyway because you’re
reaching a different audience than the search engines and you won’t get
penalized for duplicate content.
Other top article directories
After you have submitted the article to Ezinearticles wait
for it to be approved and published before submitting the same article to
several other top article directories, such as Articlesbase, Ideamarketers and
Goarticles. Each of these article directories attracts different audiences, so
your content will reach more people.
Social Networking
If you already have an Ezinearticles account you can
integrate social media with article marketing The title of your article will
automatically be tweeted on your Twitter account. This site also enables you to
get your article listed on Facebook.
Document sharing sites
Scribd is a social publishing site, where millions of people
share original writings and documents. Convert your original article to a PDF
file and upload it to Scribd. Unlike article directories Scribd allows you to
incorporate links within your content. You can upload anything onto Scribd as a
way to grow your audience, just like on your personal blogs. Choose copyright
settings, among many other options, making your documents most searchable.
Authors are uploading e-books for sale on Scribd, and keep 80% of the profits.
What’s intriguing the most about Scribd, though, is the idea of 50million
readers. Your blog certainly isn’t reaching that many people.
Video article
Convert your article to video by making a series of slides
from your content. Import the slides into Windows Movie Maker then add music.
Submit your video article to YouTube and other video sharing websites. Make
sure you always include your full website address in the description meta-tag
and also include it in the last slide to direct visitors back to your website.
Blogger (Blogspot)
This is a public blogging platform owned by Google and
therefore is rapidly indexed by the search engines. If you already use Gmail
you can simply add Blogger to your account. Every time you create new content
add it to this blogging platform. Be sure to include links within the content
and in your resource box that link back to your main website. This will boost
the rankings of the original article you added to your blog or website.
Social Media Sites
Google+ and Chime.in come to my mind, as you can easily post
your article here, if it is under 500 words. There are for sure more
possibilities on social media sites and on most you can add images and
certainly link back to your website or blog. Read also this article about
Social SEO Strategies for Start-Ups.
Squidoo
Squidoo is a micro-blogging platform for publishing content
on niche topics. It currently has a page rank of 7 which means it receives a
ton of traffic and the content is rapidly indexed by the search engines. Create
a Squidoo lens and add your article to it. Instead publishing the same article,
re-write it so it will not be viewed as duplicate content and receive its own
rankings.
Podcast
Convert your article to a podcast and submit it to podcast
directories such as iTunes. Don’t forget the link back to your website or blog.
Best of the Web Blogs
There are many paths to building links, such as link baiting
or blog roll-link swapping, but few are as easy to implement and cost effective
as submitting to blog directories, just to name a few:
http://blogs.botw.org/Arts/Literature/Publishing/
http://www.bloggeries.com/Writing_Publishing/
http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/entertainment/books/
See all 23 Blog Directories to submit your blog
Social Book Marking Plug-ins
Let others do the placement and publicity of your article on
the Internet: Install plug-ins (floating on the left side of your website or
blog is the best position) to encourage visitors to submit your article with
one click to dozens of social media sites, such as Google+, Twitter, Facebook,
Reddit, Pinterest or wherever they have an account.
Again: make sure you use anchor text within your article
that points back to your main website. Writing an article is just the beginning
of article marketing. If you want to
reach a wide audience you have to place your content in front of many readers.

Very good article…but I would like to give a shout out to
all the smaller article directory sites out there. They wont have the pulling
power of the larger directories, but they can still be useful. If you can find
a niche directory that deals with the content you are writing about, they can
be a very good source of targeted traffic back to your site or blog.
