Now you are searching some more and you are starting to get a grasp on how back links work, and how big of a factor they are when it comes to ranking in a search engine. Then you will try and decide what the easiest way to get back links is.

One of the most simple ways to get links pointing back to your site is to write articles. Yes, you will have to write, this is what many webmasters do not want to do. They want to save all of that good content for their own blog or their own mini site.

What article directories allow you to do is get your back link out there, and most of them are do-follow, which means that the big G search engine will give you credit for that link. So if you have a really long keyword you are trying to rank for, you can anchor it in the article you are submitting to the article directory.

Besides getting the links and the traffic, you could also use an article directory to promote an affiliate product. You could write a review on it and point out all of the pros and cons of the product, increasing the chances of you making a sale.

Some of the popular ones that will get you traffic, along with getting you some authority for a keyword are Ezine articles, article dashboard, Go Articles along with a couple of others. You can tell if an article directory has authority by its page rank, which is only referred to by google.

The most popular of those big directories would be Ezine Articles. The main reason is the quality of articles that they have there, and they review every submission manually before posting the article. It is also a great website to get outstanding information on almost any subject.

Article directories can be very valuable if you submit to them right. Just be very careful and be sure that you are submitting quality stuff to them, and you will get rewarded with not only some good keyword rich back links, but also some targeted traffic.
