I love Ezine Article Submission system. It has proved to be quite effective in my link building campaigns. Good post Siddhartha. I have also RT!
Thnx Vivek. Glad you liked it
First one i didn’t knew it,thanks for sharing this will try implementing it.
Thnx a lot Technolic. Glad you liked it
Siddhartha : I agree EzineArticles is the best but I don’t agree with the information you’ve provided here regarding the registration & approval process of EzineArticles submission. It’s NOT that complex. Please recheck. I am an expert author at EzineArticles & found it to be quite simple. http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Basant_Singh
1. Register
2. Draft an article online at their online editor
3. You need to follow some general guidelines.
4. Submit.
If your article is of good quality it will be approved in approx 3 days.
They do provide 2 backlinks in authour resource area (just below the article)
Correct me if I am wrong.
Hey Basant thnx a lot. Checked it.
Nice Post siddharth. I love twitter and stumbleupon.
Now going to try ezine article submission.
Thanks for sharing this great Post.

Hey Dev Thnx for your Comment. Glad you liked it
I have recently started using SU and Digg… and can notice the effect
Wonder when I hit the Front page on Digg
Hey Amandeep Just concetrate of steps I have mentioned above. You will definately find a change.
Really an awesome article. Simple and very well written. Thanks for your thoughtfull insight into the subject. Keep it up.
Thnx a lot Etikka
thanks Siddhartha for sharing your knowledge… i hv registered myself on all these… are there any other social networking sites as well which may help me get increased traffic??
Karan Sure mate will write another list of 5. But these 5 are the best and proved Social Networking Site. Which gives you the max traffic.
All of these are really great for building backlinks and driving more traffic. The key to all of these is to make friends just as you would on any other social platforms – once you have influence there, your submissions will spike much more than doing it solo.
For me Articlesbase.com works equally good as compared to Ezines. I have one query in this. How about purchasing a package from Ezine Articles in which I can submit all my articles. As of now, there is a limit to the number of articles which we can submit for free.
Try also Jumptags, its a great tool for everyone
