One of the key elements of any online marketing strategy is doing online article submissions.

It's fast, simple, and relatively inexpensive. An article submission site can deliver your articles to massive quantities of publishers with the click of a button and garner you residual targeted traffic to your website for years and years to come, all while also establishing you as an expert in your field.

Although it isn't rocket science or anything, there are still some tricks you need to know in order to execute an online article campaign that gets you the most bang for your buck (and your effort).

Here are 5 crucial tips for taking over the internet with online articles:

1. Choose an upstanding article submission site. Here's one thing most folks don't realize--when you submit an article to an article submission site, it doesn't go directly out onto the internet. What happens is the submission site electronically submits your article to online article directories, ezine editors and Yahoo! announcement groups, then those publishers either accept or reject your article, depending on if it meets the standards for their site.

Many online publishers have standards about what types of articles they'll accept and how many they're willing to take from any one author at a time, so it's crucial to submit your articles through and article submission service that is well-respected by the industry and known for distributing quality articles.

If you're submitting from a site that is known for putting out tons of articles of questionable quality, the article distribution sites and groups will cringe when they see your article show up before they've even seen what you've written. It's paramount that you use a well-respected service, because your article may be rejected just for the fact that it came from the seedy site you're using.

Here's what an top-notch article submission site looks like:

*They place a limit on the number of articles you can submit each month so that they'll/you'll stay in good standing with the publishers on their distribution list.

*They're in tune with the types of articles their publishers want, and they have editorial guidelines in place to help their members provide quality articles.

*Every single article is reviewed by an actual live human being to be sure that it meets the standards of the article directories and has the best chance of being accepted.

BTW--Don't feel bad if your article gets declined at first--this has happened to me before! I'd rather the submission service tell me and give me a chance to fix it than to have it be ultimately rejected by the article directories.

2. Stagger your article submissions. I would suggest you submit no more than 2 articles each week on different days. These guidelines may sound wacky to you at first, but there's method to the madness.

The article submission site is submitting your articles to the article distribution sites, and those sites have standards and rules. Some don't like multiple article submissions by the same author within a short time period, and if you submit more than one or two a week you reduce your chances of your article being picked up for publication.
