Credibility is one of the most important benefits. When you are on the Internet you need all the credibility you can get. It is hard to know whom to trust. When you write lots of articles and submit them, you will become known as an expert in the field in which you are writing about.

When you submit, you might get placed on a publishers home page which will give you tons of exposure. Exposure equals hits to your website and when you have exposure and credibility, you will have a buyer who trusts you and will not hesitate to buy your product.

One of the greatest benefits of submitting is the free advertising you get. Most of the time, advertising is not cheap. It is usually quite expensive. Submitting to article directories is free, and everyone loves free.

Another terrific benefit of submitting your article to article directories is the highly targeted traffic you will receive. You know that if they are reading your article, then they will be interested in what you have to offer on your website that you include in your author box. Nothing is better than highly targeted traffic.

Submitting articles will improve your search engine rankings. The website you include in your author box will improve your link popularity which will improve your search engine rank. More search engine hits equals more visitors to your website which equals more money!

Submitting articles will give you visitors for years. Articles don't go away. They stay on the net and multiply. Other publishers copy them, with your author box and source, and they put them on their site. This happens over and over again. You will also gain many backlinks from the publishers who copy your article, which again, improves your search engine ranking.
