Writing articles is considered one of the best ways to  market your website. The great thing about article writing is that its is free. You do not have to be specialized in the topic or the field you are writing about. Just choose the area that is connected to the topic of you website, do some research using Google, Yahoo or Msn, so you will easily have more information on the subject you want to write about.

Article Submission to Directories:

when you finish writing your article, you can can submit it to article directories for free. There are tens of hundreds of article directories online, you can very easily find such directories online using search engines. However, and to get started, below you will find the best 5 article directories that have always had the best rank within all.

• Article Dashboard
• Ezine Articles
• Go Articles
• Idea Marketers
• Article City

For each article directory you should follow the instructions for the article formatting. Some directories, if not the most, require articles without formatting. it will save you time and efforts to write unformatted article with no hard lines breaks in a text file. It also helps prepare a quick description for your article as well as your keywords because some directories also require such information to be submitted along with the article.

Never forget to include a resource box at the bottom of your article as this is your chance to direct readers to your website. When someone reads your article, the chances are he/she will be interested in your topic more. Subsequently, you get your readers to visit your site.

Article Submission Services & Article Submission Software:

In case you do not have enough time to submit your article manually to all of the article directories, you may want to hire someone to do that for you. There are many websites that offer such service, but the best two tested and professional article submission websites are:

• Article Marketer:  This is also a very good article distribution service and there is the option of a free service for those on a tight budget.

Or alternatively,  you can use software to automatically submit your article. As example,  Article Post Robot  allows you to submit your articles automatically to over 240 article directories and over 50 announcement lists.

You Do not have time or you do not want to write your own articles?!

You can easily pay someone to write your articles as a solution if you do not want to that yourself. That's called Ghost Writing, so you get a 100% original article and it all yours to display your name and resource box to it.

I highly recommend  Private Label Rights Articles to write your articles.

Annd a cheaper option is to buy a package such as the Viral Article Toolkit. If you get that, you receive 199 rebrandable articles, which you can use and publish with your own personal resource box. You can change these articles in any way you like to make them more personal, or you can just leave them as they are.

Once you start writing all these articles and getting them published you will find that the number of visitors to your site increase and your search engine ranking will also be given a boost as a result of all these extra back links.
