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!
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.
Nice Post siddharth. I love twitter and stumbleupon.
Now going to try ezine article submission.
Thanks for sharing this great Post.

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.
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.
Nice Post Sid. Hey, Can you write a blog post featuring top 5 Indian Social Bookmarking websites, which can be useful or blog owners with large Indian audience.?
Nice post Siddu.
Yahoo is shutting down Del.ic.ious along with Yahoo Buzz and some other services as recently announced. It would mean ‘Delicious’ not actually indexing the site.
Is there any other method with which we can index our site for yahoo search. Submissions to yahoo site explorer helps?
