Top Article Directories for Submissions

Article directories allow users to make submissions of articles they have created, with one or more links to the user’s website(s) at the end of each article. Using these directories helps increase traffic to the website of the person who created the article, as well as adding to the number of inbound links the website has (which can improve its ranking in search engines). Here are some of the top directories for making article submissions of this type.

EzineArticles.com: One of the largest article directory websites, EzineArticles has an impressive Alexa.com traffic ranking of 648 (many such directories are in the hundreds of thousands or millions) and a Google PageRank of six. It accepts submissions on a wide variety of subjects, and has somewhat higher standards than many of the other directories.

ArticleDashboard.com: Another top article directory, ArticleDashboard also has a PageRank of six, and a very good Alexa ranking (just over ten thousand). It allows up to three promotional links per submission, and accepts articles on many different topics. There is also a forum for discussing the website and various relevant issues.

ArticleBiz.com: Despite its name, ArticleBiz accepts submissions on everything from car insurance to pet reptiles. It isn’t quite as popular as the above-mentioned directories, but it has a Google PageRank of six, higher than the vast majority of article directories. This means that the inbound links are likely to have greater search ranking value.

GoArticles.com: This isn’t among the top directories for its PageRank (three), but it has more traffic than most others (according to Alexa, which ranks it just under 7,300). It also ranks well on Quantcast and Ranking.com. Submissions must be at least 100 words long, and are limited to fifteen thousand characters.

EasyArticles.com: This is one of the top directory websites for its PageRank (PR5) and has a good Alexa ranking (about 58 thousand) as well. It has a higher word requirement than some of the other directories (200-3,000 words). However, the registration form is shorter than that of most others.

ArticleHub.com: It doesn’t have a PageRank or Alexa ranking as high as some of the other directories, although they are both fairly good, but a significant advantage of this directory is that article submissions don’t require registration or e-mail confirmation. This makes submitting articles there easier and less time-consuming.

ArticleCity.com: Like ArticleHub, ArticleCity allows articles to be submitted without registration. It also has a PageRank of six, making it one of the top article articles by this measure. It also has a rather good Alexa ranking (20.6k), and accepts article submissions on about thirty different topics.
