Since I market myself as The Article Writer you might imagine that I also submit my articles to various article directories on the internet. As a matter of fact I still do. When I submit them on behalf of my clients I have up to 16 directories that I can use with several of those directories posting these articles to their site and passing them on to other directories. I imagine that at least two dozen directories get a hold of my articles when I choose that method.

Lately, I have gotten into the habit of starting each morning by writing one article for myself and submitting it to a handful of directories. Typically, they are 700 to 900 words in length and much more detailed than the articles I write for most customers. Many of my clients are simply looking for backlinks to their sites and are satisfied with 450 to 500 word articles; enough to get a point across, but not very deep.

What I am seeing with the article directories these days is that most of the articles getting posted are “private label” rewrites. If you don’t know what I mean by “private label” then please look it up. As for me, my daily personal writing assignment is meant to strengthen one or two blogs that I run in addition to my credit card and personal finance site at Credit Card Venue.
