Ezine Articles - A Free Way To Speed Up Submitting To Directories

Writing ezine articles and submitting them to article directories is a great
way of getting free Internet advertising. As well as attracting human
visitors to your web site, you will be obtaining the one-way back links to
your web site the search engines value so highly.

To make the most out of every article you write, you should submit them to
as many article groups and article directories as possible. There are a few
different ways to do this: you could subscribe to an article submitting
service, you could purchase software to enable you to submit your articles
yourself, you could manually submit your articles. Manual submissions can
be very time consuming but, if you are working on a small budget, manual
submission might be your only option at first. An easy way to speed up the
submitting process and save you hours of boring cutting, pasting and
clicking is to work with a tabbed browser. The most popular tabbed browser
is Mozilla Firefox and most people who try Firefox swear they would never
revert back to Internet Explorer. If you follow these instructions step by
step, you will make article submitting much easier and quicker.

Download Mozilla Firefox free of charge.

1 Open a new page by clicking "file" and then "new tab"
from the drop down menu or by typing Ctrl+T.

2 Type or paste in the address of an Ezine directory to get
the site on screen. Don't log in yet, you want to be at
your log in page each time you open it.

3 Click for another new tab and do the same thing.

4 When you have opened as many tabs as you want (8 or 10 is perfectly
manageable) click on "Bookmarks" on the toolbar.

5 Select "Bookmark all tabs" from the dropdown menu.

6 In the box that appears, click the far right arrow to show all bookmark
folders, select "new folder" and type in the name you want to give the
group. There is no limit to the number of groups you can create. So, if you
are submitting to 100 directories, they can be split into ten groups.

To add more sites to any particular group:

1 you do the same steps up to and including 4.

2 click on the first choice in the drop down menu, "Bookmark this page" and
select a group where you want to
place the new site. Deleting moving, renaming, moving
bookmarks etc is simple (click on "Bookmarks" and select "Manage
bookmarks").

To open a saved group you click on "Bookmarks", scroll down to the group you
want and click on "open in tabs" at the bottom of the list of urls.

When you open a group, all of your sites will automatically load within one
browser window and you'll see the individual tabs for easy navigation. Once
you have saved all the sites in groups, you can open them all at the same
time and log in. Before logging in, copy and paste your article and your
resource box into Notepad. For the sake of easy copying, have the title,
article body and resource box on separate lines with a space between each
one. Also copy in (again on separate lines) the keywords associated with
the article and the brief introductory summary most article directories
require.

Now click each tab in turn, log into the article directory website and click
to the submission page. When you are logged in and at the submission page
of all the directories in the group, go to your Notepad and copy your
article title. Work through pasting the title of your article into the
appropriate space in the submission page at each directory. Then copy the
article body from Notepad and work through from the first directory to the
last pasting in the article. Do the same thing with the keywords, resource
box and summary. As you paste in the final item at each directory, click on
submit and you're done.

This is much, much faster than going between your article and the directory
websites copy/pasting title, article, resource box, keywords and summary at
each site individually and it makes the process far easier on your mouse
hand.
