Writing Articles in Different Directories

The nice thing about many of the article directories around the web is that these directories have very high PageRanks because of the large amount of content that are in these directories. This means that any articles that make it to their database get indexed very quickly and since competitors are targeting these directories, you need to make full use of your SEO skills.

• Do research on keyword phrases that are not highly competitive using keyword tools like the one provided by Google AdWords.
• Then sprinkle those phrases in your article and add a link at the end.

Once you get it right for a single article directory, it should be easy for others. Just read the rules and guidelines so your submissions are approved without delay. Give each article a catchy title and description so potential visitors can click on it.

Public internet marketing forums are any forums that are open to non-registered members. This means that search engines can freely crawl on threads where your link can appear. Forums in general hate spammers that spread their link around so do your very best to blend in with the community like any ordinary member.

• The trick here is to put your website link as your signature and add a short optimized description to make it easier to find and appealing for others to click on. As long as the forum is related to your website and they allow signature advertisements, you should able to get more inbound links.
