Here is an incredible story. On the 20th day in November 2008 I started a brand new website at the url http://www.article-submission-express.com. The site offers a service of submitting a unique article to thousands of internet directories. The idea of the site is to sell the service to the clients. Our target client is the person who wishes to increase their rankings in the SERPs by generating a bunch of relevant, one-way links to their website. On December 7th, as I write this article, just a little over two weeks later, my site is now ranked 101 out of over 15,000,000 results for the term Article Submissions

I have studied several of the guru search engine optimizers to figure out how to get a site to the top of the search engines. I have a few websites, so I divided up the techniques I am using to find out what the best way to promote a site, and move it through the rankings is. For this particular site I have only used two methods. I bough a few relatively low cost Google advertisements, and I submitted articles just like this. The reason I am writing to you today is because I can say with certainty that article submission may be one of the fastest was to move to the top of the search engine results.

Let me begin by telling you as this writing there are 15,200,000 results when you search on Google for article submissions. Wouldn't you agree that being number 101 after just two weeks and three days out of those results is incredible? I also want to tell you my site was indexed in Google in 3 days. To me, these are incredible results.

I have studied tons of experts on search engine optimization. I have studied Aaron Wall, Brad Fallon, Brad Callen and more! These guys know what they are doing. I started experimenting with several sites doing the techniques they are doing, and I have to say that Google Ads and Article Submission have gotten me more results than any other option.

I have used code based and black hat techniques like TrafficBoosterPro which I will say worked well, but only for a few days. I was ranked number 60 for one of the most competitive keywords on the internet, I was so excited, then out of the blue ALL of my rankings disappeared. That site has never recovered, I work daily trying to promote it and it doesn't move. I have also tried to build reciprocal links with other sites. Some say this works, some say this doesn't work. I tend to agree that it doesn't work. I see no results from the reciprocal links at all. Plus I always have to work to see if people are linking to me. To top that off, I build two similar sites that contained the same key words, built reciprocal links to one, and nothing to the other, for some very obscure key words, the one with no links outranks the one with reciprocal links. The one with no links, is outranking the one with reciprocal links and it is optimized for certain keywords.

So far on my current site, http://www.article-submission-express.com, I have done two things. I bought Google ads that convert to promote my site until I can get a good organic listing. For those who don't know Organic Listings are the ones in Google that are free, and you don't pay per click. Then I submitted articles just like this one to as many directories as possible with a link back like you see below in my resource box.

In all the studies I did with SEO, this is the most success I have ever had, and boy am I excited. I have used press releases as of yet, because they are too large of an investment for me at this point. I also with this particular website did not use link building programs or link exchange services. I haven't traded any links, and I don't even provide code to link to my website. I also have not ventured into adding links on a social networking site which would probably increase my rankings further. The website is a controlled experiment. I have to eliminate all variables and use certain techniques to test them against others. I am going to continue to do what I am doing and monitor Google. The best part of the whole bit is I am not at 101 in the rankings so it makes it easy to see which direction I go. Hopefully the next article you read will give you more information on where I am after I submit this article.

I wish you all the best of look in your optimization efforts. If you are at all interested in having articles submitted, you can do it my way, or you can do it manually. My website as I said earlier does offer this service and you can get a link to it in the article below. Either way I want you to take away from this article that article submission works for SEO. Again, this article is not promoting my site, but promoting that the method works.
