Here is a quick review on some of the top article sites that you should submit your article to and why is it so
EzineArticles.com

EzineArticles is by far the best article directory on the web. It has a Google page rank of 7, and all articles are reviewed prior to being published, so only good quality, credible content gets through.

It’s not uncommon to for your articles to develop a page rank of 2 or 3, which is great for ranking well in Google and developing back links to your website. Also, because of their high page rank, even moderately high competition keywords from EzineArticles can get your articles in Google’s top 10 results.

One of the downsides to EzineArticles is that all articles need to be reviewed prior to being published, so it may take up to 3 days for your article to show up on the website. But on the plus side, EzineArticles is the most used site by ezine and web publishers because of the good quality of credible reviewed articles. Then, your reviewed article will spend a short period of time in EzineArticles PR7 homepage, allowing you to gain maximum exposure.

Another great thing about EzineArticles is the fact that on Google’s search results appears the actual title of your article. This way, when someone searches for your keyword phrase and see that the title of your article appears in the search results, they will definitely be excited about it.

Another downside of EzineArticles.com is that they don’t allow you to post affiliate links in your article’s resource box.

Article marketing, or more specifically the bum marketing version of article marketing, is one of the best ways to use content to your advantage. But the most important part of it is what’s at the bottom – the resource or about the author box.

Everyone knows what a resource box is: a paragraph at the end of an article containing, among others, a brief bio about the author and a link to his/her website.

The sole reason that many articles exist is this resource box. You might ask yourself why this is such an important part. There are three major benefits of a good resource box:

• First, you build up links to your website, which increases your Google page rank.
• Secondly, people will click on those links, which take them to your site or that of an affiliate, where you can hope to sell or earn a commission.
• Thirdly, a resource box helps build branding and name recognition around your name/business.

Your resource box is the only place you may sell in your article. Some people might divide the article in two pieces:

• The body of the article, in which you “give”
• The resource, in which you “take” (in form of visitors, page rank, or commission)

Just came across this really neat trick at Neil’s blog where he manage to increase traffic to his blog by over 11% just by adding a few lines of rules in the robots.txt. Just for those who are not sure what robots.txt is, it is basically a text file which you can use to control how search engine crawl your site. Basically what Neil did was denying the search engine bots from crawling the trackback links, comments and few other stuff that could possible cause duplicated contents issue and so on.

Here’s his robots.txt which is for movabletype blog.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /t/trackback
Disallow: /t/comments
Disallow: /t/stats
Disallow: /t/app

So for wordpress you might want to disallow bot from accessing your monthly archive pages or any other pages that might trigger the duplicated content issue.

What if I tell you that my friend Richard was number one in Google for a search term that brought up 24 million pages and it only cost him $30?

Also, he rank number 6 - 8 for a term to do with holidays - and no it’s not obscure as there are another 1.2 million sites using it!
