When you decide to put your website online, you require doing a research of your webcontent that goes into the webpages. Either you can write your own webcontent or you can find free web content online itself like Articledirectories.com which has an extensive collection of articles on a diverse number of topics written by experienced authors and writers. These web hosting services also provide you with a Search Engine Optimized, article submission directory to submit and promote your articles for free. Thus they provide an effective and low cost method of submitting your articles online for generating targeted traffic to your site. In fact it also attracts publishers who are looking for quality webcontent online.

Though there are many places on the net where you can submit articles, it is time consuming to submit to each of them, especially when you are not sure about the quality of the sites. The six key features a good article submission directory should have are:

1. High Page Rank: An article published in a Directory with a higher Google Page Rank naturally gets more traffic which also impacts on your position in the search engine results. A free tool that finds the Google page Rank of those article submission directory sites is not difficult to find out.

2. RSS Feeds:

Many article users subscribe to the RSS Feed from article submission directory sites. So choose those directories that offer RRS Feeds by Topic and Sub Topic.

3. Number of Articles:

Some article submission directories reveal how many articles they already have; else you browse and find out how many authors and articles they have. Some of the top article submission sites have 20,000 or more Articles with 4,000 or more Authors.

4. Easy Search Capability:

These directories should provide an easy Search by Author, Search by Title, Search Keyword and Search by Article text, which should help in quick location of your article.

5. Easy Submissions:

The submission process should be easy and simple where some even allow you to post a link to your Article. While submitting itself if it crashes your browser or comes up with a 404 Page not found Error, better avoid it.

6. Author Index:

A directory which provides an Author Index where they display your detailed Profile and Articles submitted, all neatly organized under topics is a great help.

You can't think of search engine marketing without article marketing.
