If you are article marketing and you should, then there is one directory that should be at the top of your list: EzineArticles.com. This site is considered by most to be the top dog in the article directory arena. There are a couple things I have learned about anchor text and submitting to EzineArticles.com that you should keep in mind.
- When you are using anchor text in your EzineArticle.com author’s signature box, you want to keep the length of the keyword (visible link) to no more than 3 words. Otherwise your article will be flagged and it will not be published until it is revised. If you want to use your article title as your anchor text, then pick the keyword part of the title as the anchor text.
- Limit your URL links to the bottom part of your article. EzineArticles does not allow them in the first three paragraphs. Your article is to be informative not just another advertisement of your product. As they say: “The article is your give and the author’s resource box is your take”
- Don’t worry if the editors flag your article after you submit your article. 4 out of 10 of my first articles I submitted were flagged with problems. They may flag article because of keyword density, affiliate links, or html code not allowed. They allow you to revise and edit your article to correct the problem areas. Once those areas are revised resubmit the article and normally it will fly through.
Article marketing is a great, low-cost way to promote yourself or your business, and EzineArticles is the top place to submit your articles. Follow the simple editorial rules and you will have no problem submitting your articles.
