Let me tell you my story. On November 20, 2008 I started a website called http://www.article-submission-express.com. This site is actually for a service I offer for article submissions. Basically what we do is solicit clients who want to increase their search engine rank by getting one way text links to their website. Today as I write this it is December 7, 2008. I am now ranked 101 on Google 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 dedicated myself to the study of search engine optimization over the past several months. I want to rank high for a competitive word, because if I can learn how to do it, I will have many different avenues of income available to me. I have studied people like Aaron Wall and Brad Fallon, I also use Brad Callen’s software a lot. I started a few sites, and used different methods for each site to see which of these methods are most successful. Of all the sites I have started, this site with the article submissions and Google Ads has brought me not only the most efficient results, but the most results.

I used code based things such as TrafficBoosterPro which worked for a few days for a keyword on another site I had, but then Google penalized my site, and guess what, I have NEVER recovered. I also tried reciprocal linking, which is controversial, in that Google may not count the links. I am starting to tend to agree, the site I did that on has not ranked at all. I even developed two sites where I build links to one and didn’t to the other, but made them on the same topic (they are not duplicate websites), guess what for words they have in common, the one with no links to it is outranking the one that I have actually optimized.

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.

This is the most success I have ever had. I did no press releases (which I believe to work, but I haven’t tried because of cost.) I did no link building, I didn’t join a link farm, I didn’t make link bait, I didn’t trade links. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even put a page on there that you could like to me. I didn’t put this in social networking sites or anything. Why not, couldn’t I and increase my rankings? Maybe, but right now what I have done this far is working, and therefore I am going to keep doing what I am doing and monitor my results. The best part is, now I am 101 in Google, so I can monitor my results. My next article will probably be a report on what this article did for my rankings.

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.
