Article submission is a great tool to get traffic back to your website, whether it is a static web site, or a blog. However, for a while I was manually submitting each article I wrote, web site by web site. Go-to this site, log-in, insert article, rinse and repeat.

That drove me CRAZY! While these articles were getting me traffic, it was a very painful process. Luckily, I stumbled across two services which exponentially increased the speed at which I would submit artilces.

First was Article Submitter Plus. For $47 dollars, you could buy and download software which saves your article submission sites on the software, along with user name and password. It makes it as simple as this process: Log-in, the article is automatically downloaded for your, hit the submit button, click on “Next”, and start the process over with the next site. No more remembering URLs or passwords, this service does it for you. You can probably get about articles submitted to about 200 sites in about an hour.

This software was OK, and much better then manual submission. On a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the highest, I would rate it a 4.

However, the next service I rate at a 5 out of 5. With Article Marketer, you submit your article to them, and they submit it to hundreds upon hundreds of article directory sites.

What is even cooler is that your articles go thru a two tiered screening process before submission to article directories. Once, by a computer and then once by an actual person. If it gets thru their screening, you are guaranteed having your articles accepted at the directory. The site also does all of the formatting for your articles for you so you don’t have to worry about that. Not a bad deal at $80 every 3 months.

I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend using one of these services, since this will help you leverage your time much better so you can concentrate on building your business.
