The Best Article Directories

The process works like this: you write original articles, embed links into them, then submit the articles to the directories.

Then, other people, looking for website content, will find your articles on the aite and post them on their sites (with their embedded links to your site).

There are many directories out there that allow you to post your articles for free. But I have found that many of them are a waste of time.

A few of the directories have the most traffic and thus they end up netting you the most backlinks to your site.

By concentrating on submitting articles to these sites, you can maximize the results for minimal time and effort.

The top article sites for SEO

Ezine Articles - the very best of the directories.

Buzzle - Another high quality article directory. Less traffic than Ezine Articles, but seems to net you better quality links.

Go Articles - Another good place to submit aricles. The easiest submission process.

Idea Marketers - This site will get you a fair number of links. Well managed.

Article City - Yet another quality article site.

So those are the article sites that I have had the best luck with. By composing articles, you can gain not only backlinks but also exposure in your niche.
