Distributing Reprint Articles for the Best Results

THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF DISTRIBUTING ARTICLES

When comparing the cost of preparing an article and distributing it to publishers and webmasters, your overall articles costs are still really small... Especially when you

compare that cost against the cost of buying advertising in the same ezines, newsletters and websites that will publish your article. On top of that, when a website

publishes an article that you wrote, the article will usually remain on the website for years to come. But, when you

buy an ad for your business at a website, you need to pay that advertising rate every single month for as long as your

want your ad to remain on that website.

When you want to measure the effectiveness of an article, you should measure the cost of advertising in the ezines and newsletters where you were published, plus the cost

of advertising on the websites where your article was reprinted.

If you invest the time and effort to calculate the value of the advertising earned from a reprint article versus the

cost of creating and distributing that article, you will quickly realize why so many people recommend this

promotional technique.

TRAFFIC IS A TWO-SIDED COIN WITH REPRINT ARTICLES

When we first got into writing articles for promotional purposes, we were entirely focused on getting our articles published in ezines and newsletters. The all-important link

back to your site can reach thousands of publishers, and through the publishers, you can quite possibly reach millions of readers. And these are not just ordinary readers either; they are members of YOUR target

audience.

The ezines and newsletters that will publish your articles have already told their readers that they will be providing

information on the topics that you have written about. And, the readers have all taken a pro-active step to add their email address to the mailing list of the ezine that is

publishing your work.

While most ezines have a subscriber base in the range of ten to twenty thousand, there are still some really large

ezines with subscribers in the hundreds of thousands out there that will be happy to share your materials with their

readers.

These days, it is all about the search engines. Webmasters want to add fresh content to their websites regularly, so they can improve their search engine traffic. And, writers want to see their articles on third-party websites, so that

they can build their link popularity and improve their own search engine positioning.

THE NATURE OF GETTING YOUR ARTICLES IN EZINES AND WEBSITES

Once, you have taken the time and effort to create your reprint articles, you will want to send them to the largest

number of publishers and webmasters who have expressed an interest in publishing what you have written.

Many writers who are just getting started will try to do all of the distribution work themselves. They will search high

and low to find the sites that accept reprint articles and they will look for the article distribution mailing lists that

other writers are using. Then, they will commence the task of distributing their articles to the various sites and lists

that accept reprint articles.

Then you have the added challenge of remembering what the posting rules are for each mailing list that you will join. Pushing the rules to the side and forging ahead could get

you banned from participation in many of the article distribution lists.

Most writers end up making some type of compromise in order to get their articles distributed. They will either set

aside half a day to a full day for the distribution of a single article, or they will limit their distribution range to the

mailing lists and article sites that make it easy for them to accomplish the greatest results in the least amount of

time.

SOMETIMES IT MAKES SENSE TO EMPLOY A SERVICE PROVIDER

There are a handful of well-established and experienced distribution services that can get your article to multiple publishers with very little time investment on your part. The distribution services will do this for a small fee and

send your article to targeted publishers of ezines, newsletters and websites. Rates vary from service to

service.

Many writers use a number of article distribution services to distribute their articles. The reason is that all services

use SOME of the same distribution outlets, but all services also have unique outlets not available to the other service

providers.

The writers who use a number of services do so to increase the overall reach of their articles, to maximize

their results.

THE CHANGING MARKETPLACE

Recently there have been a number of new distribution services popping up who claim to be able to distribute your articles to publishers at a lower cost. These new

distributors are offering bargain basement rates such as $40 for three months and unlimited article submissions.

Sounds like a great deal right? Well there are a number of problems with using a cheap service such as this.

The primary problem with these cheap service providers is that you will put all of your articles into their database at your convenience. Then, the service will turn around and

distribute all of the articles you have put into their database, on the same day that you put them into their

database.

Here is the problem. Nearly every article distribution mailing list in existence has a limit of one or two article

submissions per writer per day limit.

PROFESSIONALS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

A major article distribution company understands the intricacies of the world of article publishing, whereas a

cheap newcomer is simply looking to make a quick buck off of you.

If you want your articles and links to reach the targeted publishers and targeted audiences that would be

interested in purchasing your goods or services, then you should seriously consider spending a little more money to use a well established distributor from the outset. This will

also save you the time and hassle of posting articles that will never see the light of day.

In the end, you want the best bang for your buck.

Sometimes the best bang for your buck requires that you spend a little more money upfront. With an established and experienced article distribution company, you might just find that you can get better results from each article, and you will still have an audience for your articles two

weeks or two years from now.

You can make the most of your advertising when you use an article distribution company who will put your needs

first --- always keeping in mind what will help YOU to generate the best results for your investment.
