As a future article writer, you should have a few favorite places where to publish your work. Off course these web sites should generate some amount off traffic because that traffic will be your readers and customers. People who will read your article, share it with friends, republish your article on their websites, buy your product and if they want more information about you or your product, they will follow your backlink which will generate incoming link to your site.

Goarticles is article search engine and directory for republishing contributor's articles. They have a solid page rank 5 or 6 in Google and Alexa Traffic Rank is 2,502. They provide free RSS and JavaScript feeds for all. If you register and publish well written article, the guys will review it in a few days (in many occasions day or two) and approve it. Big advantage of this article directory is that you can resubmit, edit, and delete your article even if it is published. It is no big deal for today's business, but a lot of article directories don't offer this live saving feature.

Goarticles is my favorite place for publishing articles, they are quick and relevant, they will publish any good written article, and what is most important they are updated daily and having a big amount of visitors, website owners and potential publishers. It is a must. My rating for Goarticles is 5/5.

When submitting articles around the internet, you already noticed that many of article directories include ?Powered by Articledashoard.com? link at the bottom of their website. Why? Because Article dashboard is the biggest article network and the internet premier source for article distribution. And you can have the same software for your own directory. Register and submit your article in they directory and it will be distributed around they network in just a week or two. Don't get surprised if you find 200 or 300 back links to your websites in few weeks generated distributing articles thru Article dashboard.

Steady Google page rank 6 and Alexa traffic rank 3,503. Same as Goarticles, they provide option to edit, delete and resubmit your already published article.

Maybe 3-5 days until approval, but for waiting they offer you a complete solution for Article Directory marketing. From their homepage you can download the exact software that powers Article Dashboard. And it is for free. My rating for Article dashboard is 5/5.

I would like to say that this directory is something like expert union of article writers but, I will not. Ezineartilces.com is the same as Goarticles or Article dashboard or many others article directory with a few differences. Submitting article is not as easy as it should be. Your article must pass detailed manual review and get approved by their webmasters and administrator. It takes longer then other directories to approve article but when it is approved, author of article becomes an Expert author. Here you can find only quality and professional articles with no typo, grammar, and spelling mistakes.

You can edit, republish and delete your articles at any time. As an expert author, you can upload your photo and fill in your bio and soon you will be noticed by other visitors and authors. By doing this, you get more credentials online. People will trust you more while reading your work. Google page rank is 6 and Alexa traffic rank is 656 (very high). A lot of traffic going on there so this is the perfect place to publish your work. Administrators will do their job and your article will be seen on many places around the internet. People who publish others articles on their websites just loves ezinearticles.com, because they trust their quality content and will take any article to republish. My personal rating for Ezinearticles is 5/5.

Is it the most robust article directory on the internet? Maybe. When you submit your article to this Isnare, it takes a little bit longer for your work to get approved and published. That is, because they have a lot of submissions and not enough stuff, or they really read your article few times before publishing. In spite of all that, this is one of the best directories I have been using it since my online existence. Google page rank is solid 6, and Alexa traffic rank 5,297 should be enough for any article writer. But if you want more then just submitting your text online, Isnare offers you, for a small amount of money, distribution to over 40,000 publishers and article sites. You can edit and delete your articles when ever you like. Personal rating for Isnare.com is 4.5/5.

There are a hundreds of article directories where you can publish your work. Just visit Google or Yahoo and type in article directory in the search box.

When doing marketing and submitting your articles, you can do it in two different ways. First is Manual, and second is automatic submission. The second one is faster, produces more submissions, but it is maintained by software. When you manually submit your articles, administrators will know it and will give you credits for doing quality work.
