How Many Article Directories Should You Submit To?

Everyone does article marketing differently. Some people find one article directory they really like and submit only to that one. Others submit to all the article directories they can. Then there are a few that submit to a lot of article directories but don’t necessarily try to get in every one. Which way is the best way to perform article marketing?

I think it depends on your goals, but I personally think you should stay away from extremes. Just sticking with one article directory limits your exposure to users of that directory and not to users of other directories. No directory enjoys 100% of the market share in article publishing. By the same token, you could drive yourself crazy just researching all the article directories that are available. No need to do that.

Probably, for most article marketers, the best approach is to send out your articles to several article directories but to choose a few that you use as a means of tracking article distribution. Pick two, three, or 10 that you can focus on and submit directly to those article directories then mass submit your article through services like iSnare. That’s the approach that I like to use and one that I recommend for most business owners.
