How I Manage My List of Where I Post Articles Online


Article Marketing Connects you Directly to ReadersEven brilliantly-written articles can't "toot your horn"unless they get in front of people who'd care enough to readthem. And widely posting articles online is the most directway to make that occur. Posted articles bring a businessmany benefits

Keyword-focused and information-rich articles appeal to both humanreaders and search engines.

Your List for Article Submissions is the Crucial Link thatMakes it Work

The quality of your submission list determines how manypeople get to read your message. Unless places you submit toare in synch with your message, products and services, mostof your efforts are wasted. It's worth your time tocustomize and polish your list.

1. Expanding the List

I spend at least as much time each week tweaking my list aswriting articles to post. As I travel the Internet, myantenna stays tuned for suitable websites and ezines.

Assessing Websites

- Is this a quality, visitor-friendly site? - That's totally subjective - but if not, I won't send articles there

- Does it reach the readers I write for?

- Does it use articles? If so, are they by authors unaffiliated with the site?

- Is there a submission form or author guidelines?

Their authors are considered. Am I familiar with their work?Is it worthwhile? Sometimes I Google an author's name tosee what else they've written and where it appears. Often Idiscover a slew of appropriate websites unknown to me.

I regularly query search engines for targeted keywords, orthe group I want to reach (chiropractors). From thoseresults, I use Google's "Search within Results" feature andtype in phrases like, "Submit Article" or "Newsletters."That links me directly to possible candidates. I won'tinclude a site without visiting a website and feeling thatit's a match.

Whenever someone requests permission to post an article ofmine I offer similar (and future) ones also. They found me!That's another emotional payback from posting articles.

2. Culling and Upgrading Listed Sites

Starting a week after posting an article, I query Googlewith the title (in quotes) in the search box. I notice whereit shows up, then re-check regularly. Results are logged foreach article. When it appears on websites not already on mylist, they're added.

Requests to be removed from the list are honoredimmediately. Addresses for undelivered submissions areupdated or removed.

3. Organizing the Addresses on the List

I consider Ezine Announcer, http://tinyurl.com/53wo9invaluable for posting articles. Its auto-fill featurecompletes online submission forms easily. And it does a goodjob sending customized email submissions. But I find itsmost important use to be mailing list management.

My own submission list exceeds 1000 addresses, so it becametoo difficult to keep organized and updated. Ezine Announcercomes with 1700 addresses included (plus purchasers receivefuture up-dates). That's a good start if you haven'tdeveloped your own list already. However, I found that myown tested list was much more extensive for topics where Isubmit the most. By merging my list with that one (andeliminating overlap) I've now got the best of both. Andthey're arranged logically.

Customized Categories Save Posting Time

Ezine Announcer has several general categories (like ArticleDirectory) and numerous narrow topics (like Finance orHealth). It's a simple matter to move an address from onecategory to another, or to add additional categories.

I split the Article Directory into several parallel

directories, which simplifies posting. Reorganizing

categories further streamlined the posting process - saving

hours on each article.

New Directory Categories

- My A list (and high Google Page Rank)

- Password required (which tend to have more complications)

- Submit by email

- Must exchange links

- Special requirements

- Many topics (not primarily business)

- Troubled sites (below)

When I encounter a site with problems (temporarily down,weird error messages) I move it into the troubled category.They can be checked or removed later. But suchirregularities no longer delay the posting process. And Ican deal with them when convenient.
