What Does Article Directories Bring to An Optin Page

Telling individuals how to build a list and letting them know what they need to do to build a list is one thing, however there is one basic point that cannot be pushed to one side if it is then without doubt you will fail. So let's take a step back and get back to the basics of what you need to get started.

I will suspect that you have a hosting package, domain name and a website, now you need to drive traffic to your site. Without traffic your email optin list will never build, no visitors no optin list it's that simple.

When you are considering how to make an email list take a step back and consider the building blocks, an optin list needs traffic visiting the site, there are a multitude of ways that this can be done but let's take a look at an one of those methods in this article which is a very simple method called article submission. I will assume for the purpose of this article that you are looking at starting to create your own email list. Article marketing may not sound all that attractive but let's look at it from a more positive angle and what it brings as it helps in a number of ways.

Let's say you write a 500 word article for instance lets call it How to make and email list. So far you have one unique article written by your own hand, note the word unique you do not want to copy and paste someone else's article plagiarism is not the route to take and search engines do not like to see this happening, it will have a negative effect on your sites ranking within search engine results, so don't do it!

Now we will discuss the manual submission process then the automatic submissions that are available to you. For the manual process you will need to visit a few article directories and set up an account with them which usually takes you about five minutes per site. You then transfer your how to make an email list content into the template on the directory site then you enter content into the authors resource box and make sure this is where you put your website page link which contains your optin box, now submit your article. Go through the same process for each site.

Negatives from using the manual submit method are that it can be very time consuming as you would want to submit to numerous directories for example 10 sites at five to six minutes per site and a hour has passed already, duplicate content on each site you have submitted to which means that many search engine will give your website little or no credit, making your articles rank poorly in the search results probably so poorly no one will find them. Another point worth thinking of is that although you have uploaded your article it is down to the site owners to approve it and in a number of cases it can be months before it is finally approved.

Positive points you will have some links back to your site, you will be familiar with article directories requirements like templates and layout etc.

Now lets look at the benefits of auto submission, so again we will take our how to make an email list article I mentioned in our manual example above. I will base this section on the software I use for article marketing called article marketing robot often referred to as AMR. This software allows you to signup for different article directories automatically you don't need to visit the site and sign up individually it does it for you and comes with thousands of directories already preloaded.

Once signed up, take your how to make an email list content and enter it into the software template. Now remember I mentioned duplicate content earlier well at this point you have an added benefit which is often referred to as spinning. This section of the software allows you to highlight words within your article and it will then look for alternative words of the same or similar meaning. You just work you're way through your how to make an email list content, highlighting words that you want the software to find alternative for and then click on the suggestions that it comes back with that you want to use. Once complete the software will ask how many articles you want produced as it will rewrite the original article and insert the replacement words it found and that you have allowed it to use into the post. I usually allow the software to produce one hundred rewritten articles it will then produce the number of articles I requested changing the original article and using the additional word that it found and that you said it could use.

Remember you can and even find alternative words for your title and resource wording I even use it for when entering in the keyword section.

This whole process for a 500 word article will take about 15 minutes or less, then simply tell the software to submit your articles to the various directories. You also have a drip feed so the various how to make an email list articles you now have can be submitted over a period of time.

Positives, less time and automated, can produce miscellaneous versions of the original article making it look unique in each case. Just remember, don't change just one word in an article, start at the beginning and go through the article and make as many changes as you can this will enhance the new articles produced.

Negatives, again you need to wait for the site owners to approve as I mentioned in the manual process above, although by using the auto process you will have submitted your how to make an email content to far more sites so this negative would not be as distinguished as it is with the manual process.

Now that you have submitted your how to make an email list article lets get back to what does it do for your optin list. Firstly your article will have been about something relating to your optin list topic. So in my example I have written an article about how to make an email list with tips etc Those looking for help on this topic that have search via the search engines and visited one of my articles from the search engine results page can then click on my link and will be taken to my website optin page, where I may offer a free guide if the visitor opts-in.

It also drives targeted visitors so people reading how to make an email list are looking for help on this very subject.

A couple of other points worth mentioning at this time is that each site that you posted your how to make an email list content has a back link to your site so over a period of time the back links to your site will increase, and by using the drip feed system they will build up slowly over time. I often hear people saying that they worry about obtaining or receiving back links to quickly as it does not look natural, producing a negative effect in the big search engines results. I tend to have a different outlook on this as I mentioned in both manual and automated negatives you are at the mercy of the directory owners in some case it can take months before your how to make an email list article is approved, so this on it's own is a natural slow feed process that you have no control over.

One major point I have not discussed but would like to touch on is to make sure your original article is a quality article and unique never spam article sites. People's time and effort have gone into producing these sites and without them where would we be. Many article directory site owners have shutdown there site due to spam, if using automated software use it responsibly, as I mentioned above, I use an automated system, so if I were to produce one hundred versions of my original how to make an email list I would view them and make sure they made sense and were of value to the reader I would handpick ten and dump the rest, I would then submit the ten handpicked articles and submit to ten article directories with page rank. The next unique content I wrote I would then follow the same procedure but submit to a different ten websites.

Although I can understand the thought process of people who submit one hundred article between five thousand sites it does not mean I have to agree with it.

Hope this helps and please feel free to comment.
