Get great exposure through article directories
ByArticle directories are a great way to get exposure for your articles and for yourself the writer. And if you have an internet marketing business then you will most definitely want to use article directories to help you market your business.
There is a directory to serve any niche and interest you may wish to write about. Some directories allow you to write on almost any topic while others restrict the articles to specific areas of expertise. The most popular ones are the ones that allow a wide range of topics.
Some popular Article Directories for you to try out are:
You can post any kind of article to the article directory of your choice. However, if you want to establish yourself as a serious writer or a credible internet marketer you will need to focus on writing high quality articles.
Article directories make your articles available to readers as well as to people who might wish to use your articles for their own purposes. The popularity of your articles are directly in proportion to their quality.
Webmasters or internet marketers looking to reprint articles on their sites will look for articles that have the basics right. Those would be articles with perfect spelling and be grammatically correct.
The advantage you have is that most articles are shoddily written and usually cover the most basic of topics. Any effort you spend on ensuring that your articles are well written and well-researched will pay dividends as they will stand out from the crowd.
The goal of article writing should be to make the article interesting. An interesting article will be snapped up by people wishing to place good content on their sites. They know that good content attracts more traffic and could contribute to higher PageRank.
Your article needs to have a compelling title. Deciding on a title for an article can be really difficult. It is usually advisable to keep the word count down to about five words. It has to be catchy and possibly voice some controversy.
The best way to test whether your title will appeal is to consider whether the title would entice you to continue reading. If you feel you could be too biased, then ask a friend or colleague to rate the title for its attention getting value.
Your well written article is now ready to be posted to the article directories. Most of the big sites are free to sign up to and make the process relatively easy even for the more technically challenged writers.

I would add buzzle.com to that list. They have a great site setup so much of the page rank is passed down to pages where your article is found, giving you a better link.
