I thought it would really great and really handy if you had a list of the top article submission directories right at your fingertips for your article marketing efforts.
Article marketing is key to getting more website traffic and tons of targeted traffic. Often, you really don’t know which is best. So I checked a bunch of listings and here is what I came up with:
I don’t find the page rank to be the most important thing when your goal is to get a lot of clicks. To get clicks on your author resource links, you need directories with the most traffic.
The PageRank can be an indicator of the value you get to your SEO back linking efforts from the article directory. Though PageRank is not something that is updated real time, and its relevance is believed by SEO experts, to be kind of falling off the scales of importance.
Good luck with your article marketing and may it bring tons of targeted traffic

Thanks to numerous sites, like:
http://www.vretoolbar.com/, http://alexa.com, and many others for their great information.
I was doing a little searching around the online traffic and targeted traffic websites and blogs. I do this a lot, because I want to find out if anyone is really putting anything truly useful and new out there.
Today I found what might be called a common theme. It is method, many say, to increase online traffic and create tons of profits. You probably would like that I’m thinking.
But what could be so good that so many were writing about it?
Well, you won’t believe it, but it was about writing a newsletter. This theme was really beginning to irritate me. Why?
I saw post after post telling newbies and any readers that came their way that simply writing a newsletter would get you traffic. So ask yourself, “If I just post a newsletter, and have no list, and have no traffic – is a newsletter going to generate tons of targeted traffic?
I think you know the answer. If you are really going to increase online traffic, then maybe it takes a little more work than just writing a newsletter.
Now there is no doubt that a newsletter is a great tool and you should have one. It is how you generate sales, and direct your traffic from your opt in list to the places you want them to go. However, did you catch the key phrase here? You direct your opt in list. Hmmm….
In order to have somewhere to send your newsletter, you must have traffic, and a highly targeted audience that wants to receive your information. You don’t get it by simply posting a newsletter. Once you have traffic, and opt-ins, your newsletter is very powerful. So you definitely must have one – but for the right reasons. Starting your targeted traffic is not the right reason.
The closest thing to enable you to increase online traffic in a forum similar to a newsletter is article marketing. In some cases, if your not experienced, and you find the knuckle-heads telling you to create targeted traffic with a newsletter, they seem to be actually substituting the term newsletter for article marketing.
Don’t be mislead.
Article marketing is very powerful and does increase online traffic. But it is not the same as having a newsletter.
So let me be clear:
When writing to create targeted traffic, article marketing is the tool. Focused articles on niche topics will generated an increase in targeted website traffic, and will bring targeted traffic for long time to come.
Writing a newsletter (unless as one source says – you have someone with tons of traffic to circulate it for you) will not create targeted website traffic. It will enable you to steer your followers and help you direct them to the sites you want to increase online traffic at. It will also enable you to create higher profits.
If your just starting to generate targeted traffic, don’t miss the boat. Use article marketing and also be creating a newsletter so you have the power to steer your followers correctly.
I hope you had a great week.

P.S. One of the many great lessons I learned from Tellman Knudson is exactly how to create a newsletter, and how to do article marketing. Two different things, for two different purposes. Tellman’s Listbuilding Club is amazing and can teach you much more for the price of a cup of coffee. What a great investment!
Targeted traffic is a major subject for me, and it should be for every web owner that is trying to earn a living online.
You know you have to have it in order to:
1. Have a reason to exist
2. Build a following
3. Build a customer list (opt in list)
4. Generate profits (make money online)
Today I had a thousand thoughts going through my mind and I wanted to right about all of them. There was so much to do, so much to say, so many new ways being shown to create targeted traffic to do all the things above.
I spent some time checking out targeted traffic software, attending a website traffic seminar about attraction marketing (attracting your targeted traffic), and writing articles for my article marketing efforts.
There was so much going on.
Then I am testing the new viral desktop email program – Desktoplightning, and I sent my second message there today.
The first got about 6% readership, and ultimately brought about 100 visits to my blog. So I really believe it is a valuable targeted traffic tool (you really ought to grab and test it out yourself!)
Then after doing all of this, and then some – I realized I hadn’t done my primary task – write today’s blog post!
So today, you get to see that I am a real person, doing all the writing myself, and I do get behind once and a while.
I was so busy with so many targeted traffic ideas that I think I went a bit haywire.
Well, I’ll be back on track tomorrow.
I hope you’ll attend the free Targeted Traffic Teleseminar tomorrow. It got demolished by weather last week. But all looks good for this go around.
You can still get your questions in. Even if you don’t get there tomorrow, by signing up now, you can get free access to all 7 previous training events, plus tomorrows and the 5 or 6 more to follow.
So don’t miss out on this. There is so much priceless knowledge being shared, and you should grab it now, because it won’t be long before it will not be free ever again.
Wonder why you never find your article in the top results for search engine traffic?
Here is the easy solution to moving your article submission straight to the top. Watch this short video…
I learned this little trick from top internet marketer, Brian Terry. When Brian talks, I follow directions.
Article marketing is very effective for getting traffic. It’s even more effective if your submission to article submission sites has a title that can nearly guarantee you jumping to the top of key, long tail keyword searches in your chosen niche.
We’ve talked about this before, and you will continue to hear about this method because it is a time proven, ageless method of generating a lifetime of highly targeted web traffic.
I am going to provide you a way to 98% automate the entire process and for you to become an article marketing master. If you think you can’t or shouldn’t do article marketing, then you need to read on…
Writing and submitting articles to ezine directories and article directories is a very beneficial process that accomplishes a lot for you as a home online business owner. I have already told you what it is, but I have included it here because it is a top low cost or free method to get targeted traffic to your website. It has a number of benefits which include:
1. Establishes you as and expert
2. Provides a way for your story to be spread by others for free
3. Through article distribution, you create a massive in bound link network in addition to the ones from social bookmarks and network sites.
4. It raises you in the search engines, thus also increasing your search engine traffic
5. You direct, targeted traffic from your articles for life.
Ezine Articles.com is, by far, the leading place to place your articles. You must put them here.
But you also must distribute your articles to as many different places as possible. There are thousands of article directories. And you can’t begin to submit them on your own to all of the directories you need to. To make article submission and article marketing a viable tactic, you must automate the process.
It’s great to write your own articles, and I encourage you to do it. But if you really want to get articles done in quantity and out on the net, then you need an article writing service.
If you are still thinking I can do this for free – well go ahead and do it. And if you do it without automation, you have a long, long wait to see the results. So here are the best resources available for your article marketing:
1. To get the most affordable quality articles written for you go to ArticleZ.com

a. one touch submission. You literally just past the article in and push a button. Like magic, it is saved to your account.
