3 Essentials Before You Submit To
       Article Directories
One of the oldest yet still more effective techniques in
 driving targeted prospects to sites and converting them
 into buyers is information-based marketing. This is why
article writing, submissions and publications are at an all-
                         time high.
There are many tools that you can use to make the process
of distributing your articles easier. However, although this
   is invaluable in getting your article exposed to more
sites, there are common mistakes that some people make
       before submitting their articles to directories.
Let us take a look at the more common mistakes made in 3
                          key areas:
1) Confusing the reason to promote articles with the
               reason to write them.
In article writing, the main benefits of you promoting
them is branding, lead generation and promotion, which
          are all part of your optimization efforts.
However, there is one reason why you write articles, and
  that is to inform your audience about a subject. It is
  greatly important that your article is based upon this
fact, or else you stand to fail in the promotional benefits
                     as outlined above.
Of course, it is also highly important that you figure out
how to get people to read you article, and then to click on
your site link in the resource box. I have produced a couple
of articles that cover these areas so please check them out
                               :-).
2) Failing to realize and maximize the promotional
         opportunities of article marketing.
You will more than likely already know that your article
   can generate links back to your site from the article
   directories themselves, and also from any sites who
publish your article from these directories. However, did
 you know that you can attract more visitors and better
       search engine results from the same article?
The first step to achieving this is to provide relevant
  keywords at strategic places in the article. However, do
not overdo this. A good benchmark is to aim for between
    a ten to fifteen percent keyword density. I won't go
further into this here as I've discussed this in other articles
but if you would like to find out more, look out for more of
                 my article marketing articles.
You shouldn't just aim for your article to be accepted by
 article directories, but should ultimately aim for it to be
used by publishers who scour the directories for website
content. You should not underestimate the potential that
  this can have on your promotional efforts, as many of
  these publishers may have hundreds or thousands of
     regular visitors who could then view your article.
Start out by having a plan of what you want achieved and
 make sure that you reach your targets. It is important to
  do this so that you can reap the maximum benefits of
               every article that you write.
3) Creating articles with content that does not help your
                         readers.
Maybe your only plan is to create an article and get links
back from article directories, and that any visitor that you
                 may get from this is fine.
Well you may need to think again. Many article
directoriesclamp down on the amount of articles that they
 accept that are simply not up to standard. And even if a
poorly written, uninformative article does make it into the
   article sites, then the potential of being picked up by
   webmasters seeking quality content is certainly lost.
The benefits of one publisher with a hundred thousand
 website visitors picking up your article should be enough
incentive for you to write an informative article. This is by
 no means impossible, and you may find that this value is
 conservative in what you may achieve from a number of
       publishers running your article on their site.
Researching into a topic that is sought after is important.
  There may be many readers of this article who will feel
that this information is all well and good but feel that they
   cannot write an article well, or may not know enough
  about a certain subject to write an article. This is by no
 means a dead-end. There are many places where you can
research into a topic, or hiring a writer might be an option
                    worth considering.
The choice really is yours on how dedicated you are in
 increasing the exposure of your article, and consequently
   your website. On a basic level you can choose to gain a
few backlinks from article directories, or with a little more
   effort you can enjoy massive exposure from providing
                       quality content.
