Today I started my article marketing campaign. Article writing is an effective and potentially quick way to get links and traffic. Articles can be created by making minor edits to content already published on your site, so it need not be too time consuming a task. Also, the submission of articles can be automated with the right software or by employing a third party service.

I manually sought out appropriate article directories and submitted my first article to, so far, 14 article directories. I have not finished building my list of article directories however. I have yet to search Google for: "KEYWORD articles" submit. This will show me pages I can submit certain articles to. Once i have built up my list from submitting this first article, I’m sure it will be a much quicker task in the future.

Like most things in SEO, it’s monotonous. But the rewards will make it worthwhile. Time to hit the coffee..........
