I expect you already know at least a few of the benefits of submitting your articles to directories. However you probably didn’t realize how many powerful reasons there actually are:

* Prospects Are Attracted That You Would not Have Found.

With each submitted article, you are casting your net wider, reaching new prospects that would never have found your business otherwise.

* Develops Trust.

Your articles pre-sell you to your potential customers. When they go to your site, they are more likely to check out your products.

* Brings Free Website Visitors For Years.

Both because of the articles being in the directory itself, and also on the sites of those who use them.

* Boosts The Credibility of Both You and Your Business.

For one because of the simple fact that you’re the author of a published article, and in addition to that because submitting frequently to several article directories will cause your articles to be often seen in the SERPS.

* Gives You Free Ezine Ads.

Your Resource Box at the end of your articles acts as an advertisement for your website or business. When newsletter publishers reprint your articles, you basically get free ads in their newsletter.

* Enables You To Make Greater Use Of Your Resources.

Your website content can be easily rewritten several times for submissions to article directories.

* Gives Your Site More BackLinks And A Higher PR.

Search engines use the quality and number of incoming links together with the relevancy of the anchor (link) text in calculating where to rank pages in the search results. Having your articles appearing on lots of sites obviously means you will have a greater number of incoming links. Again, this is not just from the directories, but also from other sites that found your article there and used it.

* Leads To Higher Alexa Rankings For Your Website.

Alexa ranks sites based upon how many visitors they receive. The more people who click on your Resource Box links, the more traffic your site receives

* Assists in Developing Recognition Of Your Brand.

A connection is made in the reader’s mind between the subject of the article and you.

* Funnels Highly Targeted Traffic to Your Site.

People who read your article and follow the links in the Resource Box at the end are highly-targeted visitors by the way they reached your site. You will get traffic from both article directories themselves, and from the visitors to sites and subscribers of ezines that reproduce your article.

* Offers You Free Advertising That Really Works.

Thanks to your article you are viewed as an expert on your subject. Before they even visit your site, potential customers have warmed to you and have relaxed their guard. There’s no better way to “pre-sell” your potential customers than article marketing.

* Generates More Sales.

Naturally, the targeted traffic and leads from the links in your Resource Box creates more sales. Visitors from articles frequently turn into purchasers. And they will very probably click on your Adsense ads if they don’t find what they are looking for.
