Why submitting to article directories is important?

Submitting your article to article directories achieves several goals:

• Readers will recognize you as an expert on the topic you write. This will enable readers to trust your business. It is a great advantage to you against your competitors.
• Some website owners will republish your article on their site along with links back to you. Thus, more poeple will get to know your online business by reading your articles.
• It is a free advertising for you when you publish your articles on Article Pool and other article directories. You can then have more money to spend on other types of advertisements.
• Links from article directories increase your link popularity that improves your chances to achieve better positions in major search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.

Why Article Pool?

Among hundreds and hundreds of article directories, Article Pool is one of the most valuable places to submit your article. Here is why -

• Good traffic. Alexa rank less than 15,000 allows this site to take spot in the top 20 article directories by traffic.
• Google Pagerank 4. The better Pagerank, the more value Google gives to links from the directory to your site. This is important for search engine positioning.
• Article Pool doesn’t use nofollow tags in their external links. Nofollow tags devalue links to your site.
• Almost all topics covered, such as computer, finance, food, fashion, art, politics, writing, shopping, self-help, and so forth.
• Sign up process is easy. Approval is fast.

Besides these major benefits, Article Pool offers paid manual article distribution to 500+ major article directories. They provide such a service since 2005 and have distributed over 20,000 articles. Article Pool is designed professionally, easy to navigate and is a great example for other article directory builders.

NoFollow Tag

nofollow is an HTML anchor link attribute used to instruct major search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. The HTML code containing nofollow tag looks like this:

<a href="http://www.vretoolbar.com" rel="nofollow">VRE Toolbar</a>

Google announced in early 2005 that hyperlinks with rel=”nofollow” attribute would not influence the link target’s PageRank. In addition, the Yahoo and Bing search engines also respect this attribute. It actually tells a search engine “Don’t score this link”.

If you submit articles to gain PageRank and improve your search engine ranking, don’t waste time on article directories marked NF!

When you publish a post with a title like this:

“What You Can Do Immediately For Higher Rankings”,

WordPress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post slug:

/what-you-can-do-immediately-for-higher-rankings

SEO Slugs plugin strips common words like “what”, “you” or “can” out of your post slug to make it more search engine friendly. With SEO Slugs plugin activated, the slug for our example blog post would look like this:

/immediately-higher-rankings

The slug is generated on saving a post (so you get a chance to look at it before publishing, and change it), or on publish. It won’t overwrite an existing slug. You can force a new slug generation by deleting the existing one.

Installation: Unzip the downloaded file, and save seo-slugs.php file to the plugins folder of your blog, usually /wp-content/plugins.

Activation: Log into your WordPress Admin, go to Plugins, find SEO Slugs plugin and click Activate.

Now, when editing a post, give it a title and press Save and Continue Editing. The SEO Slugs plugin will generate a slug. If you edit it, the plugin will honor your slug and won’t change it.
