Are you tired of reading how to write and submit articles to a directory? Would you like to have your own article directory? Well this
article is for you.
There's a few things to consider before putting an article directory together. Do you want to make a niche directory catering to only certain subjects or do you want to cover every topic under the moon? This is where our first requirement comes into play.
Deciding on a domain name. If you’re going for the niche directory you're going to want to possibly include the niche in the name of the directory.
Let's say you're into cars, then you would want your domain to be something like articlesaboutcarsthatgoreallyfast.*** or cartopicsthatiknowabout.*** or something like that. These are just examples I'm using to illustrate the use of names. You probably would not want a domain name that long. If your going for the catch all you can use something with article in it, like articlesabouteverythingimaginable.*** Again just illistration purposes. The domain name you choose doesn't have to have the word article in it, mine doesn't. There are resources on the Internet which allow you to plug in keywords and it will spit out possible domain names from your keywords.
Now it's time to look into getting a web host. I know there are literally thousands of web hosts out there and the decision can be daunting. Here
are a few things you want to look for in a web host.
* Able to host multiple domains under one account
* Plenty of storage space
* Plenty of monthly transfer
* Able to have multiple email addresses
* Able to have multiple MySql databases
* Customer service available through web, email, or phone
Search the Internet for web host reviews for more information. There are plenty of resources with ranking systems for web hosts. You could also email some web site owners to see who they use and if they are happy with them.
Next the software to run our directory. I use Article Dashboard. Article Dashboard is free software to run your own directory. I'm not saying this is the only software out there, I'm just saying that it's great and free, you can't beat that!
After following the directions for installing the directory it's time to get some articles. Lots of article directories allow use of their articles as long as you keep all links the same and give credit where it's due. Just check each site's policy for exact rules relating to the use of their content. Another way is to read articles and contact the original author and invite them to write and send articles to your site. You can also sign up for sites that "push out articles" to you. This is a great way to get lots of articles quickly but it is also a good idea to get some original content.
Well this is about all for now, please visit my site for more information, free articles and Cajun Info. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Top Article Directories
Content is king when it comes to the internet. Fresh and relevant content is the key by which websites gain new audiences, keep existing ones and improve their page ranking in search engines. Practically everything revolves around content.
It is for this reason that web masters and business owners try their best to maximize the effect and benefit they can get from the content on their websites. One of the most effective ways of getting the most out of your content is to submit it to article directories.
An article directory is a large repository of information that has been collected over time by publishers who accept articles and then serve them. This is not free though in the sense that the submitter will not do anything. As payment for serving the article, the submitter is obligated to host a link to the article directory on his website.
These article directories are like a storage space for content. Writers of content can bring their articles to the directory and any person who is looking for a particular kind of content can go there and, depending on the rights given to people using content, gets it.
By putting your content in article directories there is bigger chance that your articles will be used by popular websites. This will surely improve your link popularity. This will also make you more visible to more people. As previously mentioned, since content is much sought after in the web, even website publishers would search for good quality content in these directories. As part of the stipulated agreement of most article directories, any website who publish content is required to include the author / content owner’s resource box. This can lead to more publicity and exposure for your website. But the best thing is that it does not cost a cent.

Article Optimization - Directory Submission 101
It is a pleasurable challenge writing to Ezine and Article publishing Directories. This is the "sandbox" that most writers are contributing to today. More articles are written and show up as an entry to Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVist and other search engines than their are websites. Some websites are articles in themselves. It is much easier to write an article than it is to build a new website for most of us. The common person may not be able to do build their own website, but he or she may have the talent to be a successful writer. Think of the competition though! Thousands of writers writing about their content, promoting their website, and sharing their ideas. The numbers are overwhelming! There are a number of things that a writer needs to be aware of when submitting articles to develop a mass readership.
<b>Article Optimization</b> - If you want your article to show up on page number one of Google, it has to be optimized. Optimization is done by following some of the simple rules called "Search Engine Optimization".
Choose a <b>high quality article directory</b> to submit to. This will contribute a great deal to getting the article close to the number one spot. You can determine the <i>article directories PR rating</i> in Google ·by installing the Google task bar on you browser and going to the article directory website. Contributing your article to the directory is a very simple thing. You will have to provide personal information, possibly a pen name, your website url if you have one, and the category you will be writing about.
Use <b>keyword rich content</b> in the title, teaser, and body of the article. You have to do some keyword research and plug them in to your article every chance that you can. A good example in this article would be the keyword "<u>article directory</u>". It has to make sense when you use it. Once every paragraph or two and your readers will not get bored with the article and keep reading until the end of the article.
Use bold, italic, and underline when it seems appropriate with your keywords. Using Google, go look up some of your favorite keywords. You will notice in the list of Google links that the keywords you put in are in bold. Google picks up on the keywords. Let me repeat that, Google picks up on the keywords. In SEO Made Easy, the author indicates that not only does Google pick up on keywords, but Google picks up on keywords that are in bold, italic, and underlined.
Article Directories will let you place one to three incidents of anchor text in the body of the article. This is an excellent way to <i>get a link back to your website</i>! Google takes a while to do this, but eventually it will index the article and register the link. You can work in your keywords in clever fashion this way. If you have a website, and you are promoting your website in the article, this is the opportunity to use the keywords from your website. If the article directory allows the technique, html anchor text entries can be made in the body of the article as well as the bio. The reader would not normally know that html was being used. Of course the Article Dircetory has to accept html code for this to work.
<b>Use anchor text</b> in the article writers bio. <i>Most Article Directories</i> accept three, others will only allow you one. This is the sales pitch. If you have interesting content in the article, and have succeeded in convincing your reader that your contribution is worth investigating some more, they will want to go to your website and look some more! This is the author's sincere wish most of all, to gain trust and repore with his or her readers and to start a continuing business relationship. It can be done with a proper close to the article asking for the reader to "come on in, the water is fine!"
<b>Article Writing</b> - If you want your article to be read from start to finish, <i>choose keywords and content that will make sense to the reader</i>. Don't try to write about nuclear physics to a business crowd.
<b>Determine your audience</b>. This is done easily by entering your keywords into Google. Look at the number of entries returned. An article will be successful if you choose an audience that is not to large that you cannot compete against and not so small that you will only expose the article too few times to too few readers. When starting, it is a good idea to start with keywords that are getting about 30 hits a day at Overture. Normally there would also be less than ten million entries returned from the Google keyword search for your topic. Work on the larger populations when you get this down. You will find innumerable targets and keywords that you can do this with. There is no end to topics available on the internet. What a rich source of information!
<b>Use original content</b> when submitting to <u>Article Directories</u>. They have a way of finding out if your content is not original. Article directory submission guidelines always require you have exclusive license allows your name to be associated with the articles produced for you or by you. So don't do it. You will get caught!
Enjoy your writing! The world is open to to your ideas and more than willing to accept what you have to offer, if it is done the right way!
