For online marketers, automated article submission software is a valuable tool to help them to their job. Content is the most important component to any Internet marketing campaign but it is worthless is no one sees it. To generate significant traffic you need to distribute content to lots of places. Distributing content can be time consuming but fortunately there are a number of SEO tools to make it easier.
Many associate automated submission with junk content and spammers which is where it gets its bad rap. Junk content does nothing for readers or for the website owner. In the right hands, automated article distribution are very powerful.
Articles are essentially short pieces of content that serve to get someone interested in visiting your website to learn more about what the article is about. Article marketing should be a fundamental part of all Internet marketing campaigns. Articles can drive traffic and they build back links to your website which helps in SEO. There are a lot of places to distribute content to get exposure to a wide audience and build backlinks from a variety of sources.
In content backlinks are very good backlinks and that is what article marketing provides. The best backinks have relative anchor text, are near the top of the article that is on an authority website.
Duplicate content is a much debated concept among online marketers. Duplicate content will not hurt your site but unique content is better. To turn one article into many unique articles many people use article spinners. Article spinning can be anything re-writing an article to software that automatically replaces words with synonyms. It is best to avoid the fully automatic spinners. Spend a little extra time and use one that you can control. In about the time it takes to write an article you can spin it and create hundreds of articles. Also take the extra time to spin as much of each article as you can. The extra time it takes to thoroughly spin an article will create more unique and more readable articles.
Once you have your unique spun articles it is time to distribute them. Two primary places to distribute them is to article directories and blogs. Automated software tools are available that distribute to both article directories and blog networks. Ideally, links to your site appear natural and are not all from one type of site such as article directories so consider distributing your content to article directories and to blog networks. Article directories often have authority and high page rank but usually limit backlinks to the resource box at the end of the article. Blog networks allow links within the article
Article spinners and automated distribution tools some it all shapes and sizes. Pretty good free versions of both are also available. Some free ones are limited versions of paid versions and others are just free but are generally less effective than paid tools.
