Lately I have been doing a lot of directory submissions to build up my backlinks. I write an article and then submit it to the following sites for approval: 1. Ezinearticles.com (constanly crawled by google) 2. Goarticles.com (huge site, lots of traffic) 3. Rysite.com (tweets articles + quick indexing) 4. Articlealley.com (easy to submit to) 5. buzzle.com (has a high PR and is very popular) By submitting articles to those sites, i have recieved a lot of traffic. Especially from rysite.com because i get traffic not only from my article, but they tweet it to a following based on your keyword and as a result I get traffic from twitter as well. Hope that helps!
Many thanks. I am always focused on well written articles and info about web site seo. You don’t know where you are going to find a brand-new technique (well, new to me at least). Although there are always essential Seo techniques, a tiny adjustment here and there, and your website will receive a lot better search rankings. If you are using WordPress having the right plug ins along with an effective premium template will help your Seo. It is also important and vital to keep up to date with the modifications in internet search engine algorithms.Best wishes
