If you’re not sharing your unique perspective and understanding of your business with readers through EzineArticles.com, you’re missing out on a valuable link-building experience. Today I’d like to challenge you to start building your article bank. Submitting articles surrounding the nuances of your niche is a great exercise for an inexperienced writer to gain experience, and also to develop helpful links from an outside source back to your Web site.
There are many article submission sites out there, believe me – I’ve gone through several. What I love about EzineArticles.com can’t be said in one sentence.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, their tutorials will develop your skill, and if you do know what you’re doing, well…you’ve probably already been using the site. If you’re a lousy scammer/spammer using unhealthy tactics, they will toss you out on your ear. It’s nice to know that when your article has been approved, you won’t be mistaken for that. Here are a few of the reasons you should take 30 minutes to build your author profile on this particular submission site and establish credible articles surrounding the niche you’ve chosen to tackle.
- All articles are available for reprint with your personal bio box attached with it.
- Your bio box includes your business information and links back to your Web site.
- You can take advantage of keywords they provide based on your content, or you can add your own to increase visibility.
- If you have a basic knowledge of HTML, you can refine your article format.
- If you don’t have any knowledge of HTML, you can write in the ‘what you see is what you get’ editor – or WYSIWYG
- When you sign up for their newsletter, they hand serve you ideas for article submissions right through your inbox.
- At every stage of your article submission, you are given advice and guidance to improve your article before it goes through approval and goes live.
The link strategy here is especially helpful if you take the time to research the keywords that your readers will be using when they look for information you divulge. Your article will be required to fit into a category and if possible, a sub-category. When you’re careful to use appropriate keywords in your category, title, teaser summary, and headers, your articles will be found when someone Google’s those terms. Remember to write for a human first, and a spider last. Don’t assume the words by themselves do ANYTHING, they don’t. Good writing incorporates keywords naturally, and thereby causes a reader to want to read your information. That practice will cause search engine spiders to notice the correlation between the words that are typed into search by a searcher, and the words used in your article.
Once your article is approved it goes live immediately. Make sure you promote it by:
- Using a URL shortener like bitly.com, or an owly link from Hootsuite, and post the article’s URL on Twitter.
- Post to Facebook with a short reason why your article should be read.
- Link to it on your MerchantCircle blog or newsletter.
- Write a blog post for your Web site and refer to your article.
- Write several related articles and set them up in a Squidoo lens surrounding that topic.
Have fun developing this skill. It will benefit you greatly over the years. The more articles you have in the directory you’ll be building for yourself, the better your links will get. Naturally, the longer your articles are live, more eyes will have a chance to review them. Meanwhile, you benefit from the link in the bio box back to your Web site.

Wow! I did not know about Ezine’s amazing service. I used to believe that Articlesbase and Goarticles are the best article submission sites. Now, I’ll be trying this Ezine and see what this site can offer me. Thanks for sharing this.
One good thing is that it allows us to write on any topic which we want, there are a vast amount of topics to choose from , so its not a great deal to find a topic of our choice. Also, it having supremacy in Google rankings helps us get more link juice to our links..
I agree, Rohit, definite advantages to writing articles and submitting them to the best locations. Any business can do this because the topic can revolve around everything from an industry issue to a niche perspective – and everything in between. That means the owner can contribute, but also staffers in any area of the company. Thank you for your comment.

I have only ever submitted one article to Ezine articles, and do have to admit that there was some visitors my website got from it.
But I had no idea about the other things you have mentioned.
I will have to get back there and write some more, and also make sure to fix my authors page.
