Article Directories For Submission -- Five Secrets! 20

1clickam — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 11:33:40 CDT

There's a definite sequence which must be followed while you hand over articles to article directories. This article devices such a sequence to assist you:

1. At The Outset, Publish The Article In Your Blog

If you don't first publish it in your blog/ site, the copyright of the content won't remain with you, as that would not allow the article to be indexed before you post it in a directory on the web. Search Engines are liable to consider it as not original and completely ignore it.

2. Therafter, Submit To The The Best Directory

As far as I am concerned, ezinearticles.com, ranked PR 6, is the best, and will get you the most positive results from a single posting - more effectively than other higher PR-ranked directories. Also, concentrate on other aspects like anchor text, and you'll also benefit from back-links.

3. Submit In Steady Trickles To Pertinent Directories

Having submitted your article to ezinearticles.com, post approval, hand over other original write-ups based on it in discrete lots to the various directories on the Internet relevant to the niche you work in, twenty to twenty-five a day.

4. Lastly, Do Trickled Submissions To Several Directories On The Web

Online directories specializing in specific niches, quite apart from your own, is unlikely to work for you. So, ignore those, while you post your articles to a maximum number of directories. You also need to decide the relative importance of online directories you publish in. The PR ranking of the directory and its recommendation by online gurus could assist you to decide this. You may choose to rely on what Alexa rankings a directory enjoys, or figure out if a directory is on the submission list of prominent submission software. Submissions work if they are in trickles, avoiding bulk.

5. Careful: Do You submit Unique Work Of Quality?

Post multifarious variants to different directories. Desist from reliance on spinning. Article spinners produce rubbish, and duplicates of the first essay never succeed in retaining the intended accent of your write-up. Desist from posting a version to you blog, assuming it already has a similar article, in order to avoid over-saturation.

Submitting Articles To Your Web Page - A Win-Win Technique! 98

1clickam — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 09:34:32 CDT

One can count several questions that are unresolved which an article marketer would do well to consider at the inception.

For example, given that content happens to be the main thing, you'd better not allow directories on the Internet to be the first to publish your content, and profit therefrom?

Assuming you were to publish your write-up, first, in your own site or blog, could that content be looked at as not being original by Google and other search engines, were you to publish it subsequently in directories on the Internet?

Will displaying duplicate content in directories on the Internet compel the directories on the Internet to rank write-ups submitted by you, negatively?

How many directories on the Internet should you aim at for submitting original content to?

I have invented a method of 'article re-creation' which act as an assurance about these issues. By my method, you will literally have 100's of fresh versions of your seed content and be allowed to display every one of them in its own web-based directory, while still having the seed write-up for publishing in your own site or blog.

You will be enabled to display a couple of write-ups in your own site or blog, one as a blog, and the latter in the form of an essay to be submitted later to directories on the Internet. although ideally, you might prefer to write a second article to be published in your blog-site, as a reprieve for site visitors from having to peruse a couple of similar essays.

Although there's no compulsion to publish your write-up in your blog, ahead of submitting it to directories on the Internet, I advise it, since that way, you may achieve SE rankings for your article in your own site or blog, along with the directories on the Internet to which you submit them. Not to mention back-links arising out of the directories on the Internet.

After all, your goal is to to avail to the maximum any pluses deriving from the essays.

Article Writing - 5 Guaranteed Success Secrets 46

1clickam — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:09:01 CDT

You may prefer to do all your writing, yourself. Alternatively, you may hire writers to do it for you. Nothing but a well thought out strategy can take you to success.

You will get maximum gains from article marketing using five secrets:

1. Sell Subject Matter Expertise

Assuming that you are not yet a guru, become one , in the near future.

There's a greater chance of success for you when you stick to a subject on which you are the acknowledged expert, than if you are a jack of all trades. If you are an expert, the reader is likely to accord you respect, and success will be easier to achieve. Apply both subject matter expertise and writing skills, to assure yourself of eventual success.

Nevertheless, don't let it bother you if you are not a subject matter expert. Article writing can still help you. For example, you should try and earn adsense income and affiliate earnings based on traffic facilitated through back-links in your articles published. Although your article may not have original content, you'd have put the article together in an original way. Leverage your writing acumen woo a reader who may, with luck, turn out to be a newbie, in your field of interest, with knowledge they can benefit from.

Most importantly, concentrate on your target market, the reader. SEs should come second, in your order of priority. Readers should be able to identify you by your writing style. Writing aimed at imparting know-how is very effective; other factors such as drama and romance can all add to your article's readability.

Assuming you are dependent on PLR articles, redo them, and only then us them. Most PLR publishers are unlikely to consent to my view, but that's natural. If you plan to employ a ghost-writer, insure that the writer is informed about your final goal.

2. Telling Versus Selling

Article directories don't want to be just vehicles for promoting your business, and generating traffic via back-links. Most prefer to be identified as rich with content, and not purveyors of propaganda. Hence they frown on writers who promote themselves, and limit such promotion to the Author's Bio.

When readers cannot identify with what you write, they wouldn't like to accept you as a SME. Therefore, inform, don't promote, prospective customers to read your written wisdom and come in droves to your website.

3. Edit Before You Publish

Take a critical look at your article and clear it of typos and spellos, & grammar goof-ups, or else your reader could go - away from your article.

4. Don't Forget Collaterals

The identification of powerful keywords, and the apt grouping of your article in article directories are vitally important and so is the substance in your article. So are the Title, the Brief Description and The Author Bio. The Author Bio, in particular, merits a great deal of attention, in fact even more, thought than the main write-up.

5. Re-creation Is Preferable To Spinning

Spinning, even of a great article, usually produces garbage. Spinning should never be done with the use of software. The alternative is manual re-creation, giving it more attention , than on the original article. Pay heed to meticulous details especially the Title, Brief Description and Author Bio. Links, in particular, must incorporate anchor text; also, the keywords need to be long-tailed in character. Opt for keywords that have less competition while being capable of pulling in business using it once each in the first paragraph as well as the title, and 2-3 additional mentions. Make optimum use of LSI words. The links should draw traffic to your site. You need a few key pages to get the links, neither all links from all your articles coming to the home page or any other single page, while insuring that they don't get scattered all over the site. Your Search Engine placement could improve dramatically.

You might regard Article Marketing tediously time-consuming, because of your many other engagements, or because you lack the skills for it. However, never miss the golden opportunity to drive traffic. Outsource if there's no alternative, insuring that the writer pays attention to my five secrets.

Article Scheduling - A Secret Strategy To Insure Link Building Success! 81

1clickam — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 10:23:04 CDT

Search Engines, especially Google, prefer to see back links built by sites and blogs gradually. A sudden upsurge in links might induce them to disregard these links, and in a worst-case scenario, your site could end up getting sandboxed.

Hence, if every directory approves your articles - which is likely if you write quality articles - Google and other Search Engines may refuse to acknowledge the back links to your site. Also, if the same content is submitted to the various directories , that could be another reason why SEs would ignore your articles. The solitary solution is to submit unique versions of the article, with each directory given unique content, insuring to alter the titles and anchor texts.

However, you may find it virtually impossible submitting articles one at a time to the large number of directories on the web, while recording submission details, according to version, date of submission and directory.

The solution lies in software-enabled drip-submission of articles, to a few directories, daily. You need software that meticulously tracks submissions, according to version, date of submission and directory. That way, you adhere to search engine rules, and will not be penalized by them.

Additionally, employ scheduling software to schedule different variations of essays submitted on specific dates to the selected directories . Assuming that you're unable to submit some articles for whatever reason the software should be configured so as to submit them again, later, even as it keeps track of submissions, in order to desist from posting of identical content to two or more directories.

What number of articles can we recommend to be disseminated via directories by software enabled scheduling of submissions? It is hard to say, precisely, but twenty to twenty-five sounds reasonable. That implies that the process of submitting to 500, or so, directories should take a little less than a month.

With 500 submissions scheduled over 30 days, the back links effected in a slow and steady process, how Google and other major search engines would like it. And once the search engines are appeased, there's no reason why you shouldn't be, too!

Own Your Article Directory - A Success Strategy! 14

1clickam — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 04:44:34 CDT

Article directories abound on the world-wide web. A few, ezinearticles.com is an example, are very popular. If you think such sites are owned by big companies, you would be mistaken. A majority of directories are owned by individuals like you, as they spell profits to their proprietors while assisting in the Search Engine Optimization of their internet businesses.

Why don't you own one too?

It could puzzle you what the advantages of being the owner of an article directory are.

Why would anyone not want to own a web-site with a very good PR ranking, is very informative and well-regarded by SEs, something which article directories usually are? An article directory is a viable business opportunity, on its own and can help push sales of your own, as well as affiliate products. In addition, it will get income from Amazon and adsense. An online directory that concentrates on your niche may turn out to be a hit with competition and they are likely to flock to your directory with their articles and possibly read other articles.

By hosting your directory in your business domain, and not separately, its PR rankings and the traffic it attracts could be used to endorse your company, something I have done. The three things you can do are: build a list, write a blog or create a forum in the space that has your directory on-line. To each of these, give a value, adding up to how much your site is worth, making sure that the components increase the value of the others.

Here are a list of things you need to check on when you create your own article directory:

1. Directories exist that can be accessed for a fee or which cost nothing.They can also be set up by professionals, like me. This service will be made available by me in the near future to my customers without charging them anything for the it.

2. Having an on-line directory in a specialized area is better than having one in a general area; the site could become the most sought after one.

3. Have one on-line directory only and pay attention to it instead of maintaining several article directories none of which is maintained properly.Aim for an individual directory for every specific area you are in.

4. Choose category names that are rich in keywords. Ezinearticles.com is a name that is worth copying. If your directory belongs to a very specialized area, you must ensure that you do keyword research before creating your own categories.

5.You should avoid owning directories with articles already present, since they are not likely to be new. On the other hand, open a new directory and decide what articles you will allow in.

6. If possible, build your article-directory by getting articles periodically from other people like you, putting in only a little effort yourself. I, personally, will submit regularly to directories that have been created by me for my clients - actually, my list of directories for article submission will necessarily include these. That way, they'll surely get free submissions to their directories by me.

7. Your directory will benefit from improved PR and search engine rankings only if at least a quarter of the articles are original ones. Even if this falls outside your purview, benefits will accrue to you by having a directory built for you by me, since a lot of my content will be unique; most others provide material that is not new.

8. In the event of your placing content in your own directory, ensure that the original articles are first submitted at your directory.

9. Should you opt for a niche directory of your own , borrow good articles in that area from different directories, ensuring that all rules of the directory are followed including those on the re-printing of the write-ups.

10.Create links to your blob or webpage first, and depend on text links rather than banners.

11. Validate write-ups submitted to your directory to sift out garbage, including spam. This should be done weekly, or alternatively, get someone to do this for you - by the way, I will be offering this service soon.

12.Engage in Search Engine Optimization as for any other webpage you own.

13. Convince well known writers in your specialized area to submit articles to your directory. Forums like the Warrior Forum are a source for writers like these to be used when you are trying to popularize your directory.

14. Take back-ups of the articles, periodically, even if the host of your web is doing it for you.

When you do choose to put your site up for sale, the directory of articles will definitely increase its worth, apart from already attracting more traffic and increasing its SE rankings.

Article Writing - Can A Person's Write-up Succeed? Will It Increase Traffic & Sales? 77

1clickam — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 04:43:52 CDT

Even though countless essays are published on the internet, everyday, few accomplish their purpose-namely, back-links and traffic in droves. Only a fraction achieve modest success, most of them bite the dust. How can you make sure your efforts are not in vain? Given below are some of the things you need to ensure, when you write and submit.
You are welcome to edit it if you want:

1. Does The Title Convey Something About The Article?

There are so many things you can hope to
achieve in your article, from shocking people to informing them about a benefit. To achieve the best impact, the title should reflect this intent.

2. Submit Only To Directories With Highly Ranked PRs.

The directory you send your articles to will determine
the outcome. This is best explained by the rule of 80:20.In other words, this says that a majority of the results will come from a much smaller proportion of submissions. You should therefore first choose the directory lists you want to send your articles to.

For instance, in my experience, ezinearticles.com has proved the most effective, and tops my list of directories to send to.

3. Does Your Author Bio Hold Out A Promise?

The written matter is just a link to your blog. Details about the author should arouse the readers interest and provide link details to the site.

4. Do You Fulfill Your Article's Promise, At Your Site/Blog?

You are more likely to sell better, instead of getting cancellations, and readers will increase if they think that you
fulfill the promise held out by your article after logging on to your blog.

5. Does The Author's Bio Have Variable Anchor Texts?

To phrase it differently, if you change the anchor text in the author's bio, you will get separate links from Article Directories with each version.

6. Is The Theme Of Your Article A Novel One?

This is not an absolute must to ensure that your write-up succeeds but the originality factor will help immensely.

7. Are You Sending Your Article To As Many Directories As You Can?

This is Vital if you want more visitors and also for a better SE ranking.

8. Did You Check To See If Your Articles Are Not Spun But Re-created?

Articles that are 'spun' are disliked by readers but you'd dislike the idea of spinning it yourself as it should take a lot of your time.

9. Are You Mass-Submitting Your Articles?

If you submit articles in one go, SEs are likely to think something fishy is going on, and deny you full credit. If they think you are spamming articles , your site could even get sandboxed.

10. Have You Checked On Your Rivals In Your Area?

A large number of rivals could reduce the advantages of being in a specialized area. Also, you may be sacrificing better ranking for keywords not targeted by you.

11. Does Your Article Have Class?

How well you write will decide how successful you are, although being an expert in the field would make things a bit different .

12. Do You Give People Who Come To Your Site Some Sweeteners?

A free offering in your Author Bio, a link to your free report for example,is more likely to attract visitors to your site.

13. Check To See If You've SubmittedThe Essays To Relevant Groups?

14. Do You Re-SubmitEssays That Don't Get Submitted The First Time?

15. Have You Kept Your Article At Your Own Blog/Site?

16. Do You Have An Enticing Article Summary?

For some better-known directories,this could make all the difference.

17. Are You Well-Known As A Writer?

18. Are Fashionable Keywords Used In Your Articles? Are They Noticed And Copied?

19. Have You Taken the Effort To Make Your Exclusive Article Directory And Are Your Articles In It?.

This point is often overlooked.This could be useful ,
by enhancing the site's ranking, and by gaining revenue from adsense , for negligible effort.

20. Are You Lucky?

Good luck helps, but it helps those more that first help themselves.

Article Profit Secrets Aimd At The Two Kinds Of Online Businesspersons! 66

1clickam — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 03:43:16 CDT

To begin with, people who sell on the web fall into 2 groups. One, specialists in their field, accepted as being very knowledgeable in their respective fields. For them, the world-wide web ensures that more people get to know about them. They are motivated by their interest in their field of specialization; their interests are spread, and includes a broad variety of areas. Apart from these subject matter experts there are the generic internet marketers, who want to exploit the net for their own use.

The first category, the leaders, have no dearth of content, given their expertise in their chosen areas. Instead of worrying about competitors,they seek them out - experts like they are - to work together. Since they concentrate on the subject,their style of writing is not important for these experts. The Money earned does not really matter, although this adds up without doubt, in due course.

Generic internet marketers, who fit in to the second group are inspired by their dreams of financial freedom. They lack domain expertise,and you can tell by reading their articles. Those belonging to this category sometimes switch from area to area, and even though some are successful, the opposite is also true.

I believe, these two categories of sellers on the web must follow different paths to achieve their goals.

The first category of sellers, because they concentrate on unique content,do not require PLR articles. But, the experts who are not able to write well could overcome their handicap by using the services of skilled professionals to express their concepts cogently, though this is not essential. Ezinearticles.com is the best medium for those in this category. This will insure a seamless stream of back-links and visitors to your site. However, Subject Matter Experts, would profit, money and time allowing, if they got unique accounts of their essays re-created and drip-submitted to a host of directories, as they could maximize their market reach and profits this way.

Sellers in the second group usually prefer getting visitors to the many sites they have, all at once. While they consider subject matter as unimportant to building visitors to the site, they do not frown on engaging professional writers to prepare the written matter on their many niches, and then regenerating the articles into many alternatives . The various articles then should be sent one at a time to hundreds of directories, keeping in mind the aim of their sites topping Search Engines rankings. A reliance on professional writers, PLR writers as well, and people who actually drip submit the articles is likely to happen as a consequence of the effort the category 2 sellers would be required to do.

First time sellers who come from the second set muddle along without the benefit of experts till they can pay for professionals in creating and submitting of essays.

Sellers from the 2nd Category must target just one niche (or a few limited niches) on which their understanding is better and slowly become experts on the subject,in due course. In this way, they could get into the first type, consequently multiplying their ability to win.

Where do you stand?

The Nine Article Submission Secret Strategies You Must Know 64

1clickam — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:00:27 CDT

Almost all the software programs that one can get in the marketplace normally overlook the hassles related to article submission.

Here are 9 submission secrets that will enable you to overcome these hassles, and increase your sales.

Secret #1: Do Not Use The Same Titles and Descriptions

This will help stress the individuality of your articles and better their chances of receiving separate rankings from Search Engines.

Secret #2: Use

Multiple Versions Of The Article That You Have Generated

Produce many alternate versions of the essay, judiciously substituting equivalent terms and phrases without losing sight of the background, and submit them one by one, in several directories. They will then get due recognition from SEs like Google in addition to making a mark on and translating casual readers into customers.

Secret #3: Use Variations Of The Anchor Text

Be careful not to get boxed in by SEs such as Google, or getting your links downgraded, by having a different anchor text for each link. Do not flout any of the rules laid down in any way. Decide which are all the rules to adhere to for important directories, to increase the odds of getting of getting a large number of links.

Secret #4: Prefer Groupings Which Your Articles Are Suited For

Most automated submissions do not have the ability to identify the correct categories of articles, and routinely send them to categories like 'Miscellaneous' or 'Others; hence, your article gets side-lined. Also, categories are not standardized across article directories. For this reason, submitting to the appropriate categories becomes that much more tedious, even manually. Not only that, the write-up will not be accepted by many sites if incorrect categories are selected. This will also determine your Search Engine rankings as the category you choose should be compatible with the keyword used by a searcher. Only submission software that maps categories based on all directories submitted to should be used.

Secret #5: Track Submissions

If you rely on programmed submissions ensure that you get a statement listing all web sites in which your write-ups have been entered, date-wise and time-wise. Also, set up a dedicated mail id to which messages can be sent giving details of submissions made and approvals received.

Secret #6: Don't Stop Till You Submit

Use Automated Submission software the continues to resend the article till it is accepted by a directory. This will help prevent 'leaks'.

Secret #7: Your Article Must Feature In Your Blog Site, As Well As Your Own Article Directory.

With several versions of your article available, submitting one of each to both your blog as well as the directory owned by you (easy to create and maintain), you can optimize credits for each article version.

Secret #8: Send One Version Of Your Article To Your List

Supposing you don't have a newsletter, or a subscription list for one, create one. Send a newsletter to your subscribers, part of whose content is your article. RSS feeds, adsense, and amazon links should also feature in the letter.

Secret #9: Recycle Articles

A rewritten article is as good as new, all the more so if you rewrite them incorporating any appropriate changes since you last wrote them and are then recreated and submitted.

Good Luck!

Article Directory Registration - A Covert Blueprint For Success 96

1clickam — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:26:55 CDT

You will find innumerable article directories on the web, and they are increasing, at a great rate. Feasibly, each and every person can set up his own article index. Besides attracting adsense income, they can also get your site higher search engine placement, provided you set up an article directory in your niche in the domain of your site/ blog.

In addition, there are numerous article directory lists which long ago became inactive, without any longer being moderated. Presenting to such article directories is a waste of time. In this write-up, I have considered some important questions on article directory indexes, and enlisting with them.

How Many Directories Should You Submit To?

For starters, you should aim to tender write-ups to several directories, being careful to make sure that they will help to generate back-links. Verify the PR ranking of the directories you submit to - the superior the rating, the more the advantage though this may not be permanent. Lowly ranked directory lists could become better, in the days to come with earnest effort by the owners.

However, an identical amount of time and effort is used in submitting to any number of directories, whether 5, or 500 although the software will have to do more work to submit to aditional directories. And with unique versions of essays being sent to different directories, the SE rating of your site will go up, back-links mushrooming and traffic ensuing as a result.

Painstaking Effort:

The process of enrolling with different directories is highly cumbersome, but this labor must not be wished away, because, you'll not be able to make your work available at various locations. The toil involved can only get worse, when some directories reject the username and pen-name that you propose to enlist with, as because other users could have used them. In such cases, it could entail registering using changed names.

Mass Registering - The Easy Way

Registering with more than 500 directories, a figure that service providers usually think is necessary, will involve about 50 hours of work, reckoned on the basis of 6 mins per site. If you have an 8 hour day, this should keep you occupied for over a week. To repeat, this is a waste of time. The labor involved has more points against it than for it. It is in your own interest to be in as many directories as possible though it could necessitate using someone to do it for you.

Limitation of Automated Registration:

It is often not possible to learn about your log-in tries, as most automated submissions don't accommodate a directory-wise log-in list. Pen names aren't acceptable to some, and in other cases more than one pen name is not permissible in respect of other automated submission software. For this reason, it goes without saying that is critical to find and use submission software that accepts a list of pen names, and keep the list up to date, changing log-in details and directory names appropriately.

The Final Diagnosis:

In spite of its drawbacks, it make sense to register with as many directories as feasible. By enlisting in hundreds of directories, you will collect the advantages with hundreds of back-links pointing in your direction, further traffic from article directories, and even more traffic due to the higher ranking of your own site, ending with greater sales.

Article Marketing - The 6 Strategies That Spell Success Home

1clickam — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:57:47 CDT

Most people acknowledge Article Marketing can be counted as one of the most economical and powerful modes of internet marketing. Create fresh online content, write-ups which are informative, and carry conviction, and guarantee yourself incessant traffic, absolutely free, as long as you continue to sell. And you'll never want to call a halt to your article-writing effort. That's out of the question, when you've found such a surefire way to sell!

Positively, the greatest outcome of your efforts will be in the form of back-links your writing is likely to generate. Every new back-link improves the possibility of a high rank given by SEs. What more could you want?!

These, then, are my six secret strategies:

Secret Strategy #1: Write And Submit. Write And Submit.

Are you capable of writing and submitting an essay exclusive to every article directory? You should aim for just that if you want to take on your competition, by the horns. Article directories abound that could generate back-links that business rivals in your segment regularly exploit.

If you think a solitary article featured in many directories will result in the same number of backlinks, you'd better reconsider. Major search engines, especially Google, are inclined to only recognize the first article submitted as content not duplicated from elsewhere, and consign the rest to their supplemental indices.

And just in case you are dreaming about making many spun versions of the first 'seed' article, so as to submit 'originals' to the many article directories, you are unlikely to enhance your standing, in the internet market. Spun versions of articles are considered rubbish, and are more likely to induce laughter than links. ( Click here to read a typical "spun" article, if you need a good laugh).

So, go right ahead and discover how to keep writing and submitting articles

Secret #2: Create Hundreds Of 'As-Good-As-Original' Clones Of The First Article

A problem with 'spun' articles, besides the fact that they are time-consuming to produce, is that they are bound to be detected by content-duplication software employed by Search engines (SEs). Additionally, spun articles normally have identical titles and anchor-texts, thus increasing the ease of their detection.

Secret #3: Register For Submission With Hundreds Of Directories

This involves a lot of donkey-work, which is unavoidable, if you want to see great results.
Luckily, this is a one-time effort, after which you can go on submitting articles for ever.

Secret #4: Drip-submit Your Articles To Directories

En masse submission of articles entails that SEs treat back-links resulting from them, within a short span of time, with distrust. SEs want back-links to increase gradually generated over a period of time; as a result, en masse generation of back-links will probably work against your interests. You will merely be deprived of credit for the back-links, and that's the good news. At worst, your site could even get sandboxed by SEs.

Secret Strategy #4: With The Right Category You Can't Go Wrong

This isn't always possible as you can't submit different versions of the same article in the same category across all directories, because all the directories don't have the same set of categories. Picture yourself writing an article on "How To Display Your Love" in order to sell an ebook on love, and that could get submitted under "internet marketing". Many submission software programs do exactly that. It is unlikely to do much for your sales.

The solution lies in employing a mode of submission that insures your article gets posted, under the appropriate category in every directory.

Secret Strategy #6: Keep Track And Resubmit If Submissions Fail

Often, automated submission fails to submit your articles to some directories, for any of a host of reasons. Most of these automated submissions track submissions, to establish whether or not they happened. Some of them provide reports to users which inform you about any failure to submit. You should go with a submission software that automatically resubmits an article whenever there's a submission failure.

These secret strategies imply honest-to-goodness work. However if you rise to the challenge, you are sure to leave your rivals behind.
