Adam J. Kovitz, the publisher of The National Networker, made up a wonderful poem, called ‘twas the night before networking’. After I read the poem, I thought it would be a great idea if he sent out his poem to different article directories.
Article directories can be a great strategy to attract people to your website. Basically, an article directory is a place where you can submit your articles to for free, as well as find content for your ezine or web sites.
Here are a few samples of article directories:

So what does submitting an article into an article directory do for you?
1) Bloggers, webmasters and ezine writers are constantly looking for great information that they can share with their following. They often times go to article directories, to see if there is an article that they can use for their purposes. If your article is picked up by someone, you now have a chance to be discovered by people in other communities.
2) It allows you to be a subject matter expert.
3) Some of your articles in these directories may rank pretty high in the search engines. This can really help you with your own site’s search engine ranking, since you have a high quality link going back to your site.
4) When other sites post your article, you have the opportunity to receive another incoming link from their website as well, once again increasing the incoming links to your own website, which again helps you with your search engine ranking.
I think that Adam’s poem could be published on networking sites all over the internet. Business coaches and chambers might even post the article in their ezine, which would expand Adam’s reach even further. What articles do you have? Take a few minutes, and submit them to the article directories. You’ll be glad you did.
