There are article directories where you can submit articles for free. One way link building has increased in popularity owing to the reduced costs, the possibility to implement new strategies without effort and without too much marketing education. If this domain is new to you, you should start by doing a bit of research to identify the top free article directories that you can work with. Once you get at least ten or twenty names, you can move on to the next level and see what each has to offer.
Before the creation of an account, it is good to see what such directories require for submission and whether their conditions are convenient to you. On the average, article directories don’t differ too much. Most of the issues appear when it comes to the keyword density, the number and the type of incorporated one way links and the author resource box. Let’s take each of these in turn and see how to submit articles for free without encountering any problem.
For keyword density higher than 4%, you may face content rejection. Normally, when the keyword predominates in a certain article, it makes it difficult to read, it becomes unpleasant for the reader and it drastically lowers the quality of the material. For a keyword density between 1% and 4%, there shouldn’t be any problems.
The incorporated links are not accepted by all article directories. There are only a few services that allow for the use of anchor text links within the body of the articles. The rest of directories enable only for the use of one or two simple URLs in the author resource box. If you find directories where you can submit articles for free and use anchor text links, it’s advisable to work with those.
The author resource box may also include anchor text links or simple URLs, depending on the article directory policy. As for the details included in the box: they refer to the author’s bio and professional activity. The link in this box is the one that directs the reader to your business website. Organize the information in the author box efficiently, without too many details.
All in all, the effort to submit articles for free may prove rewarding for a limited period of time. Once you have the right financial resources you can continue to pay for submission to other directories that are membership-based.
