Next, submit your article to a selection of high quality article directories. Most article directories allow you to include HTML in your resource box, so you want to take advantage of this and include some anchor text with your keywords in the resource box, as well as at least one URL to your site.
Remember quality articles will drive the curious to find out more at your website.
