Need to know what to look for when submitting the articles :

- Should i also hyperlink keywords in the text or just the author bio ? What do most sites prefer ?

- also, do i need to write the hyperlink code with it when submitting or just copy and paste from word with hyperlink and that will work ?

Thanks.

any input folks...?

I would first post the article on your site and use social bookmarking to get it noticed. Then, if you add it to article sites then include one or two text links in the article and one or two text links in the bio.

I would make sure that your text links use a different variation of anchor text each time you submit it to a different article site.

Thanks bhartzer. How much time should I space between first putting the articles on site to submitting it to article sites ?

oh by the way - what is social bookmarking ?

Frank,

Most of the article directories do not want any links within the article itself, so text links within the articles are out, unless you create two versions--one for ones that accept text links, and the other for the ones that don't. I usually make two bios--one with a hyperlink in html for sites that accept that, and another with just the URL.

Hope this helps,

Sean

Thanks Sean_mize. That helps for sure

would just plain links help ?

Sure, but the links are better, in my humble opinion. so for the extra 10 secs to add the code, why not? The bulk of your time is spent writing and submitting, anyway.

well i meant sites that accept just url hyperlink with no key words.. that is what i was asking...
