1. Write a topical article associated with your website.


Not sure if your writing skills are sufficient to embark on the task of writing an article? Some simple advice. Write about what you know. Don't worry about being perfect. Keep your article short, between 300-600 words long. When writing your article, impart general information which anyone would happily post to their site as valuable content. Do not try to sell either your product or service in this article.

Remember what you are trying to do is get a valuable link back to your website, not make a sale. Fact is if you try to make a sale in this article many webmasters will not want to publish your article on their site. On this basis your goal should be to get your (many) articles on as many websites as possible with as many backlinks as possible pointing back to your site.

2. At the end of your article ensure that you place a resource box which includes your website link.

Once you've created a good general information article which is relevant to your website then you are ready to create your resource box. Ensure that you get to the point quickly; so while it is usually considered ok to promote your product or service in this resource box it is necessary to keep it succinct and to the point. Remember that the major objective via the inclusion of this resource box is to obtain backlinks to your website. The secondary purpose of the resource box is enable your readers to click through to your website.

You need to ensure that at least one of the links in your resource box includes the main keywords of your home page. Keywords are the phrase or words your prospective visitor types in to find your website. So it is to your advantage that the applicable keyword is locatable in the clickable portion of the link instead of only your web address. So to do this you need to be able to put the keyword text in between your html anchor link.

3. Next submit your article to the major article directories.

After you have created your article/s, submit it to the major article directories which then ensures submission of your article/s to as many websites as possible. Some major article directories include EzineArticles, ArticleCity,

It's simple really! Just carry out these three steps and search engines will find, crawl, then list your website in their listings.

Happy Listing!
