For viral marketing and free traffic purposes, there’s no doubt about the benefits of submitting your articles to the popular article directories on the net. By publishing your articles on the top article directories, you increase the chance of your article getting picked up by webmasters who are looking to add content to their own sites. When they reprint these articles of yours, they’ll have to include a resource box with your name and info as the author, along with a link to your own websites or affiliate sites. You therefore get free traffic in return. You’ll receive quality backlinks as well, resulting in better search engine placement.

Below are some of the top article directories on the web for article submission:

  • EzineArticles.com
  • SiteProNews.com
  • ArticlesFactory.com
  • GoArticles.com
  • ArticleCity.com

If you know of other article directories on the web, please don’t hesitate to share them. You may comment below with your additions. Take care!
