So I figured I would do at least one post on some of the best directories I have found and how to use them best.  Here goes:

• Ezine Articles – Undoubtedly one of the most influential directories out there, Ezine has become the preferred directory for readers and SEO value alike.  This is probably the first place you want to submit an article.  Ezine allows 2 links in the resource box and you can embed your text with links creating an all around powerful article.  Ezine does prefer unique content.
• Article Base – Similar layout to Ezine, and also allows links in the resource box and in the article itself.  Here is a popular one for syndicated articles. (We’ll talk about how to mine the value of syndicated articles soon)
• Go Articles – Another Great Directory.  Has over 1 million articles and also gives rss feeds for blogs making this directory another go-to place for great value.
• Article Dashboard – another valuable resource for syndicated articles both to give and to get.  Article Dashboard makes my list of top 5 directories your articles should go to.
• The Free Library – Almost as big as Ezines and even has similar visitor numbers.  The Free Library also has fast approval times and is usually crawled within 24 hours of approval making The Free Library a great place for fast results.

There you have it.  My list of the top 5 article directories to submit articles to on a regular basis.  I’m sure there are a ton more that are good ones, and I even use more directories than what is listed here, so if you found another great on let us know!

Happy Wednesday,
