If this is your first time choosing an article directory it might not be clear to you how to go about it. You have many choices. Don't panic. Once you realize the major key factors for selection you will be able to narrow down your options nicely.

Some of the most powerful internet marketers will explain that choosing just one site is the best way to go in the early stages of marketing. When you apply consistent submissions to a single site you generally tend to increase your online exposure. You also have the chance to dominate your niche market within that directory. This strengthens your online presence.

Since many of the directories have variations when it comes to submission guidelines, learning the rules for just one directory can simplify everything for you. You can learn the guidelines and thus produce more articles in a shorter amount of time with fewer rejections for violations. This is another great way to ensure you're maximizing your marketing efforts.

Of course, there are some submission sites that are so particular that getting your articles through the front door is a taxing task. Each rejection costs you time, which costs you money. Make sure that the site does not have encyclopedic guidelines so that you can meet them every time. While you may end up with one or two rejections, you should not have to consistently double check against monstrous guidelines before submission.

Before you settle on any submission site make sure you know what its page rank is and how well it consistently performs. If the site is so far down on the page rank that it's literally buried under other sites you will not be receiving adequate exposure for your own website.

Check out the site's time for approval and the turnaround time for actual publication. If your articles are sitting in a queue for two weeks awaiting approval only to be pushed off another week while waiting for publication, you've just lost three weeks of marketing. You should look for sites that produce short review and posting times.

You may or may not make a great selection the first time you choose an article directory. If you have been consistent with your submissions and do not see the hint of results within the first month or so, it's time to move to another site. Don't waste 6 months trying to improve the results on a site that won't work for you.
