Back in the olden days, if you wanted an article published, you had to hire a PR agency to contact magazines, then someone from that agency would pitch an article idea to the editor and the editor would get back to you - maybe…it really was a drawn-out process. It probably still is…I try to stay away from offline things like that.

In the online world, you can still pitch article ideas to relevant outlets/websites, but the great thing is that, even if they say no, there are plenty of places to publish your optimized article. There are literally hundreds of sites you could submit to, and a good SEO content copywriter can help you decide which sites are the winners and which ones to stay away from.

In addition to submitting your article, most article submission sites allow you to insert at least one link into the copy or your bio which can usually be crawled by search engines back to your site. A skilled SEO content writer can get write articles based on keywords and then submit them to the appropriate sites using each site’s guidelines. This is an important distinction because some article submission sites have strict guidelines about things like word counts, images and using HTML in your article. A good SEO copywriter can help you navigate this.

Even as I write this, I’m doing doing article marketing for a client as part of an SEO project. I’ve worked with the client to decide on five article topics and the relevant keywords and phrases. I’ll write the articles and then submit them on the client’s behalf. It’s all part of my SEO content copywriter services.
