Article directories are sites that consist solely of free articles. These articles are usually submitted to the article directory by whoever owns the copyright to them as a promotional method. Each article has the authors resource box placed directly below the content so that whoever reads the article will know who wrote it (or at least who owns it) and will be able to get in contact with or visit their website for further information. The links placed within the resource box of the articles is one of the best ways to get your site or sites found by the search engines. Some of the bigger article directories get spidered by the search engines regularly and when your article is found on one of those sites the spiders will of course follow the link from your articles resource box and find your website. This helps you to get your website initially indexed in the search engines and of course the more sites linking to yours also helps to increase the importance of your site in the eyes of the search engine and hopefully see you rank higher for the subject. Article directories are also a great place to submit your articles so that they will make you money. By using this method, people who are interested in your product or service will see your article, view you as an expert on the subject, and will visit your website. Even if you cannot write or do not have any knowledge on the subject on which you are promoting (for example if you run an affiliate website), you can always hire a ghostwriter to do the work for you. Getting quality articles written will be expensive up front, but they will pay for themselves in no time, either through affiliate sales or selling your own services, and everything from then on is pure profit. Let's take a real life example. Imagine that you are an accountant working from home. You write an article about an accounting topic and submit it to various article directories. Those who are looking for the subject you wrote about will read your article, see that you have the knowledge and skill that is needed to do a job for them, and visit your website or contact you via e-mail. Your article just gained you a new client who may use your services regularly, but will definitely give you a nice profit at least once. Furthermore, since you have posted it on a free article directory, others who have affiliate websites about accounting will inevitably use your article for their website. Since they must attach your resource box to it, this will bring you even more exposure for every website that re-posts your article. This is because you will be benefiting from the traffic that they get to their website. There are now thousands of article directories available for you to utilize. You are better off to submit a copy of each of your articles to every one of them for maximum exposure. At the very least submit your articles to the biggest directories. It will eventually help to bring more traffic and customers to your website, which will lead to new orders and more profit. Hopefully it will also improve your search engine placement for your website as well.
