List of Article Submission Sites & Article Distribution Lists
The following table contains several hundred article submission sites and article distribution lists. These are ALL the sites I've used to achieve my top ranking (for divinewrite.com).
TIP:
|
Use this page as a 'launch-pad' for your article PR. Save it to your Favorites or Desktop (or both!) and whenever you have an article ready for distribution, simply visit this page, and work your way down the list, clicking on the links to open each site.

Article Submission Sites
Article Distribution Lists
Add a site or report a broken link - I maintain this list manually, so I'd really appreciate it if you could point out any broken links or links that point to bodgy sites. Also, if you know of an article submission site or article distribution list that I haven't listed here, I'd love to hear about it. Please email sites@articlepr.com.

Article Submission Sites
Article submission sites are websites that act as 'article banks'. They allow authors of articles to post their articles on the site for free, and they allow webmasters who need content to copy those articles for free (in exchange for a link to the author's website).
TIP:
|
I've tried to order the article submission sites by their Alexa ranking, with the most popular at the top. This way, if you don't get to the bottom of the list, you've still managed to submit your article to the most popular article submission sites (giving it more exposure).

Interprets Word's paragraph markers as HTML Paragraph tags so if you have both those and actual Paragraph tags, you'll get double paragraph spacing. Same network as A1 articles. Articles are automatically published there. |

Article Title: Title length must be between 4 to 100 characters. Your title must be relevant to your article and may not contain contact information, your name, business name, and any website name or otherwise. Article title must not be stuff with keywords. Titles must NOT be written in all CAPS. The first letter of each word must be capitalized, excluding common words (optional) like 'the, and, are' unless it is the first word of your title.
Article Summary: Article summery is a required field and must have minimum 20 characters and maximum 150 characters. Article summery should be relevant to your article.
Article Body: Articles must be 350 words minimum not including the summary or author's bio. DO NOT include any HTML tag or hyperlink in the body of your article. Article submitted with hyperlink in the body will be rejected immediately (use about author box to display hyperlinks). We strongly recommend that you copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like notepad.
About Author: Up to 300 characters or roughly 40 words. Maximum two hyperlinks are allowed per “About Box” (Affiliate links are not allowed). You must include the necessary HTML tags to make any link included here active; simply placing http://www.yoursite.com in the text will not generate a live link. The About box can be used for biographical and copyright information as well as linking to relevant websites. |

Article Title: maximum 150 characters. Article Body: maximum of 15,000 characters or roughly 5,000 words. Author Bio: 400 characters or roughly 60 words.
We strongly recommend that authors submitting to ArticlePower.org copy and paste articles from a basic text editor like Notepad or TextEdit. Following this suggestion will ensure that paragraph breaks, line length and other basic formatting will be properly handled by our submission form. Copying and pasting content from applications like MS Word can and does result in a variety of formatting problems. The reason for this is that MS Word and similar applications use non-ASCII, sometimes invisible, characters that are copied with article content into our submission form, causing articles to appear very differently from the way they were submitted. Keeping the above in mind, it is not necessary for authors to use html tags for specifying font size or to create paragraph and line breaks. Use of HTML should be minimal and we suggest html tags only be used for creating live links to sites, services or products. Our submission process does not automatically create activated links. You must do this.

Article Distribution Lists
Article distribution lists serve a similar function to article submission sites - they just operate differently. Instead of visiting the site and posting your article, you simply email your article to the group, and all members automatically receive it (assuming they're subscribed to received emails). Most article distribution groups are Yahoo groups.
This list is not ordered by popularity; it is alphabetized.
TIP:
|
Each article distribution list / group will have its own conditions and formatting requirements, but this Article Template for Article Distribution Groups will be suitable for most.
IMPORTANT: Before you can email your article to a group, you MUST:
- have a Yahoo Group membership (or Google, MSN, Topica, etc.)
- be signed in to Yahoo Groups (or Google Groups, etc.)
- be a member of the group
- in most cases, subscribe to receive the group's email
