Software, Allows Online and Offline Business Owners To Submit Articles And
Publishers To Search, Find, and Syndicate Content. A Free Service, It Provides A
Cost Effective Solution To Online Business Owners To Generating Highly Targeted
Traffic To Their Websites.

Press Release Body = Online business owners are quickly realizing that setting up a
new website and generating targeted traffic to their website can be a major
headache. It\'s a well known fact that without targeted traffic o your website, no
online business can survive. With the high cost of generating targeted traffic via
PPC advertising, and paying for the high cost of hiring a SEO expert, this may not
always produce the best cost effective results.

Dwayne Garrett of TheArticleBoard.com has created a article directory software
solution to help solve the problem of cost effective targeted traffic. The Article
Board is a web based software platform that connects authors and publishers online
to come together to write, submit and publish their web content. Web content seekers
can easily search the article directory for quality articles to reprint and publish
on their websites, or include in their online newsletters for free. This process
known by expert marketers, is a known as \"Article Marketing\". It not only helps
website owners to get targeted traffic, but highly qualified traffic, not to
mention, its free!

By submitting articles to TheArticleBoard.com, authors share information about their
respective fields. At the bottom of each article, in what is called the resource
box, the author is allowed to write a few sentences about his/her website and to
place an active link back to his/her site. Readers of the article who click over to
the author's site form highly targeted traffic.

Dwayne said. \"That by submitting articles to article directories, the authors build
credibility and help fortify their standing as an expert.\" He added, \"This will help
to create valuable back links to the authors website and will result in added
targeted exposure\". He went on to say that, \"Authors who submit their articles will
receive an increase in targeted traffic to their websites because the articles will
be picked up by online publishers seeking articles for their particular niche
websites and newsletters\".

Here are some tips that will help you to get the most out of using an online article
directory for generating targeted traffic to your websites:

1: Make sure you include your web site link in the resource box of the article as
this will prompt the reader to click for more information. This is your MOST
important selling tool so make sure you include it on your article submissions.

2: Spelling. Check the spelling 3 times. There is absolutely nothing worse than an
article with spelling mistakes. You lose all credibility instantly. That is why I
recommend checking spelling 3 times. First, use a spell checker on your computer.
Second, scan the article yourself on your computer. Third, print out the article and
check again yourself.

3: For many article resource sites they have written rules for how to submit
articles. If you do not follow the rules, it is likely that your article will not be
submitted. Make sure you read the rules (if any) and follow them.

4: Title. Make sure the title of your article is the ONLY thing in the subject
header of your email if submitting articles by email. When I look for articles to
include in my own ezine I scan the titles. If the subject heading says "New Article
for Posting" or something like that, then I will not even bother reading the
article. No matter how good it is!

5: Only submit your article once. A quick way to get into trouble with many article
resource site owners is to submit the same article a number of times. It is just not
worth it!

There are many things to consider when submitting articles to article resource
sites. Follow these 5 tips and you should
not have any problems.
