Article Submission Directories - Are the beneficial?

In the world of search engine optimization, the latest techniques are starting to cost SEO savvy webmasters a great amount of money. This remains true with the subject of one way links where you can easily pay hundreds and thousands of pounds.

However, there is a technique that can obtain them almost for free although there are a few drawbacks.

One way links and backlinks are ultimately one of the largest deciding factors in Google’s decision on where to place a website in search results. The more quality backlinks a website receives, the better it will fair in search engine results.

However, the full benefit of this can only be reaped when a website linking to the website in question has related content and is trusted by Google. This means that submitting an article to a trusted article directory with a link to your website, ensures that both the safe website and related content issues are addressed - and SEO benefits will inevitably result.

Another great benefit is the targeted traffic that arrives to the website being linked to. If readers are reading the article and find it useful they will very likely think the same of the author’s website. This means that very loyal visitors could result as long as the website is filled with good content and has something to keep visitors coming back to.

Since most article directories see approval times of 48 hours, seeing a nice stream of traffic in just a few days is entirely possible.

Not everything about submitting to an article directory is a benefit. First it takes time and money to get the content written for article directory submissions and then it is long gone after the article is submitted to directories.

Using it on a webmaster’s website then becomes useless as Google will likely see that the article has already been submitted to article directories and filter it out of search results.

This goes to say that submitting an article to an article directory means you most likely won’t be using it on your website.

Another downfall to article directories is the Google PR that most of them carry, which is fair to say 'none'. Most one way links should be of high PR so the PR is passed onto the webmaster’s website.

While some article directories may have good reputations for excellent PR, it could be a long time before any PR benefits are seen. This usually isn’t the case when you can buy one way links.

Article directories have in the past been an important source for marketing and SEO development. It will take a little extra time and money to get quality articles written especially for the directories. However, submitting to quality article directories with a good PR can often be a valuable one way links resource.

Overall, this method can be great for rising in Google's search results for targeted keywords and getting backlinks.
