Do It Yourself SEO
Do It Yourself Search Engine Optimization by using respected article directories for sales, help people discover your site, and provide backlinks for the search engines to evaluate how high your rank should be.
Submitting well written articles on your topic is one of the best ways available to help establish your credibility in a given field or niche. Not only does having unique articles, written by you, add credibility to you but also helps establish “authority” in the search engines eyes: Search engines view content found on sites like these, “citations”. Look at having an article published on high traffic article directory as if it were a “footnote” in a text book. Publish the same article on your website/blog and the article directory having the same article serves as a “citation”
The article directories listed here (as of this writing Jan. 11, 2010) provide a way for you to see what has been approved, what is awaiting approval, some even list “problem articles” allowing you to correct what ever it is they didn’t like.
Some SEO consultants and webmasters interested in SEO seem to worship the concept of Google Page Rank… it is AN indicator, not the “be all and end all”…
Our Purpose
Provide a useful way to get your self some one way backlinks by posting generic articles to these high traffic article directories…. and leave this site open for long enough to cut down on our bounce rate!
NOTE: Frederick Web Promotions did not check each Alexa rank or Google Page Rank, we’re taking the word of the original website where we found this list, all we’re doing here is providing an updated list.

Hi,
Gr8…..thanks a lot I was just searching for the list and got it. Good list of article directories.
cheers
Useful Article Sites.
http://www.a1internetdesign.com/
Useful list with pro’s and con’s of directories.
Tried few and will submit in other directories soon..
Thanks
Massive props on your research! We submitted to over ONE THOUSAND article directories last month and you nailed MOST (+80%) of the good ones. Finding somebody on the internet that isn’t posting paid reviews or bogus information is VERY rare these days. Keep up the good work! ^BB^
Nice list to promote any site on Google top rank thanks for sharing
Great Article Website
http://www.familiararticles.com
http://www.newfreearticle.com
To say Article Content King has no follow links in the article resource is misleading. Yes we do add nofollow to all links in the articles, but this is done to actually strengthen the back link that the author gets from the site. Please read this post for a full explaination
Nice list! It got my bookmark.
Thanks,
Becca

Great post, I work in online advertising, so this website is really helpful to me. Thank you!
Dan you are correct: to say that no follow is misleading is accurate
My research shows me that no follow is a myth, all incoming links are valuable. it’s not a good idea to blindly ignore the no follow ones.
Article Content King is a great article directory, I wouldn’t waste my time if it didn’t do me (and my SEO clients) a lot of good
hmm, I don’t have a gravatar (and this is my own blog???)
note to self: add my picture to the gravatar asap
