In my last post I wrote that the best way I have found to generate good amounts of traffic to your blog, especially in the early days, is to write quality articles and submit them to article directories. I gave you the formula to write these quality articles and get noticed, but the next problem is the actual submission of these articles to article directories.

Well, its not that this process is hard to do as all article directories now have a web interface that allows you to enter in your article information, keywords, authors bio and resource box with relative ease. The issue is the time it takes to do this especially if you are submitting a few or many articles.

Right now there exists a huge number of good article directories out there with some very highly ranked ones including Ezine Articles which has an Alexa ranking of about 555 the last time I checked. The list of article directories that I submit to regularly has about 120 directories! If you’ve tried to submit an article manually to all of these directories you know just how time consuming this process is.

To submit a few articles to all of these directories would take you probably a full day. Do you really have time to do this? Well, one solution would obviously be to outsource this process. You can visit sites like eLance.com or Craigslist.com and pay someone to submit your articles but this can eventually become very expensive especially if you plan to submit a number of articles for a number of different blogs - which you should be doing. Also you can’t be sure that the person you outsource to is doing it correctly as many article directories have some little quirks and if you don’t do it correctly they may post your article without your resource box or a link back to your site which makes the process of submitting the article worthless.

Another way, and this is the way that I have personally chosen, is to purchase an article submission software tool. There are a few to choose from. The one I choose to use is called Article Announcer.

Article Announcer was created by Jolt Marketing which is a company owned by Jason Potash. If you have never heard of Jason, he is a well renowned Affiliate Marketer and is an expert in the field. His company has created many very successful programs and training courses. Anyway, enough about Jason and Jolt Marketing, lets talk about why Article Announcer is so good.

In brief, it’s a very simple to use piece of software which will allow you to easily and relatively quickly upload your articles into more than 100 article directories. The article directories are listed in detail and are rated according to how popular they are and how well ranked they are. There are notes about each directory as some specialize in particular article topics and others do not accept HTML in your submissions etc.

You enter in your details about yourself and your article in a field based GUI which looks like this:

You enter the article title, the category that the article falls into, your first and last name, your email address, the URL for where the article resides, an article responder email (optional), the main keywords for your article, your resource box, your bio, and a description of the article. You also obviously enter your actual article. Then you can go and select the directories you want to upload to and click submit. The software then fills all the required fields in the Article Directory’s Article Submit web page. You may need to do a bit of tweaking for some directories as they use different fields but in general, the software will fill the majority of the fields for you.

It takes me about 2 minutes to upload my article into a directory. If I did it manually, it could take me up to 20 minutes, even if I cut & pasted it from a word file. That’s a big time saver! How much is your time worth?

The latest version of Article Announcer also has an Announcement and Ezine Publication submission tool so that you can automatically email hundreds of relevant ezine publishers and make announcements to announcement sites. These features can get you hundreds of quality backlinks and save you huge amounts of time.

Trust me, once you start using an article submission tool like Article Announcer, there is no looking back. It saves you so much time and there are some very powerful features.

But wait.. there’s more! Jason Potash has also put together some excellent training materials in the form of Audio CD’s, CD-Rom Tutorials, user guides, workbooks and other software to help you write excellent quality articles that get noticed all the time and rank well in the article directories. Its the course that I took and I can tell you that my articles all get hits in the article directories. With what I learned from this course, I have now achieved 48hr article review times in Ezine Articles - in most cases, my articles are reviewed and approved in the same day! No more having to wait a week or more to see your articles approved, mine get approved straight away and I can see the traffic coming into my blogs straight away.

You also get a heap of other bonuses including a piece of software that automates your article writing. Its a step by step piece of software that gives you advice on what to write and how to structure your article and then it puts it all together for you so that you can upload it into Article Announcer.

This is a must have bloggers tool that will definitely give you huge return on investment. The training that Jason has put together is excellent and will get you on the way to generating huge constant traffic to your blog, get your blog well ranked, and ultimately get you paid!
