Article marketing is one of the most important aspects of your overall marketing system. In an upcoming lesson you will learn how to optimize what you do with article marketing. You will learn what kind of information is most important, the length of articles (word count), how to instantly grab the reader’s attention, where to post articles (besides directories), how to turn your articles into money makers, and much, much more.

For now, select ten directories from the list below that you can submit your articles to. One that I always recommend is www.ezinearticles.com. Not only is it one of the most popular, when you know how to position your articles you can gain incredible visibility.

The directories listed in this resource are categorized by PageRank.

PageRank is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank websites in their search engine results. PageRank is a way of measuring the importance of website pages. According to Google: PageRank works by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is. The underlying assumption is that more important websites are likely to receive more links from other website.

The higher the number, the better the ranking.

Make sure the directories you select are appropriate for your market. This may take a bit of time to research and then register. A good starting place is between 6 - 10 directories that you submit to on a regular basis.

The following guidelines are provided for you to get the most out of article marketing.

1. Information, Information, Information Don't ever forget, the major reason anyone is reading your article is for the information. Make sure your articles have at least some! The more timely, the better.

2. Keep It Short And Simple Writing for the web and ezines is different than writing for off-line publications. Keep your writing brief and write in short paragraphs. Be concise. Be precise. Talk directly to your reader and trim any unnecessary fat. Be lean and meaningful.

3. Put Your Reader's Major Benefit In The Title Always put your readers first, give them the main reason they should read your article in big bold letters at the top of the page, i.e. in the title.

4. Take Full Advantage Of Article Directories Kick-start your articles by submitting them to popular online article directories. These already have a large clientele looking for your articles.

5. Use Autoresponders For Your Articles Set up all your articles on autoresponders. Have a Master Autoresponder -- listing all your articles. Automate your genius.

6. Post Articles On Your Site Place all your articles on your site. This builds trust and creditability. Not to mention all that 'keyword drawn' traffic from the search engines.

7. Use RSS Feeds To Syndicate Your Articles Place your articles in RSS Feeds and syndicate them to all interested parties. RSS is Hot! Google Blog Search. Microsoft's RSS Powered Longhorn. XML Sitemaps...

8. Use Affiliates If You Have Them Let your affiliates brand your articles with their affiliate IDs and promote your articles for you. Win-win situation. Harness and harvest your affiliates' energy.

9. Cross Reference Your Articles Get more bang for your links. Place links to your other articles in the article you're writing. If you're offering helpful advice, most ezine editors and webmasters will let you do this. Self-promote. Self-pollinate.

10. Place Your Articles In An eBook Place your most popular articles in an ebook that can be branded and passed around. A great viral technique that works. Your greatest hits for all the world to enjoy, again and again.

Happy writing -- go get 'em!
