Boy do I have a story for you. Back in November 2008, on the 20th to be exact, I began a startup business at http://www.article-submission-express.com. I offer a service for submitting articles to various directories on the internet. The articles submitted are unique to each directory. The job of this site is to sell our service to clients who would like to find a way to generate a bunch of one way links to their site, and thus increase their rankings in sites such as Google. As I write this article on December 7, 2008, I am ranked number 101 on Google for the term Article Submissions

I have studied several of the guru search engine optimizers to figure out how to get a site to the top of the search engines. I have a few websites, so I divided up the techniques I am using to find out what the best way to promote a site, and move it through the rankings is. For this particular site I have only used two methods. I bough a few relatively low cost Google advertisements, and I submitted articles just like this. The reason I am writing to you today is because I can say with certainty that article submission may be one of the fastest was to move to the top of the search engine results.

Just to see what was going on with my search engine rankings today and I found when I searched for article submissions that there were 15,200,000 search results. I thought to myself, wow, how can I ever rank in these results. I started clicking through them anyway just to see if there was a site, similar to mine, that would be in the results. When I got to page 11, I found there was a purple link, like I had been on the site before. Upon closer look I found that it was my website! After just two weeks and three days, I got to position 101. I also have to mention that I was indexed by Google in 3 days after creating the site. I would say article submission generates incredible results, especially when done right.

I have studied all the gurus of SEO. I studied Aaron Wall, Brad Callen and Brad Fallon. I think these folks are the real people that know what they are doing. I started a few sites, and began experimenting with their different recommended techniques. I have to say of all the methods I have tried, article submissions, and Google Ads have brought me the most results.

I used code based things such as TrafficBoosterPro which worked for a few days for a keyword on another site I had, but then Google penalized my site, and guess what, I have NEVER recovered. I also tried reciprocal linking, which is controversial, in that Google may not count the links. I am starting to tend to agree, the site I did that on has not ranked at all. I even developed two sites where I build links to one and didn’t to the other, but made them on the same topic (they are not duplicate websites), guess what for words they have in common, the one with no links to it is outranking the one that I have actually optimized.

There have only been two methods used to promote http://www.article-submission-express.com. When it was first launched I bought a few Google ads that convert sales so I could promote it until my organic listings are better. If you don’t know what an organic listing is, it is basically a listing on Google you don’t pay for and brings a lot of traffic. I then, used my program sold at http://www.article-submission-express.com to submit unique articles to several directories. Articles just like the one you are reading here. I put links back to my site in the resource box as you can see at the bottom of the page.

This is the most success I have ever had. I did no press releases (which I believe to work, but I haven’t tried because of cost.) I did no link building, I didn’t join a link farm, I didn’t make link bait, I didn’t trade links. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even put a page on there that you could like to me. I didn’t put this in social networking sites or anything. Why not, couldn’t I and increase my rankings? Maybe, but right now what I have done this far is working, and therefore I am going to keep doing what I am doing and monitor my results. The best part is, now I am 101 in Google, so I can monitor my results. My next article will probably be a report on what this article did for my rankings.

Good luck to you in your search engine optimization efforts. If you are further interested in article submission, you can do it my way, as a matter of fact the service that this site promotes does this for you. See the resource box below to get more details.
