Articles Submission Services and Techniques

Browsing the Internet, you'll find dozens of sites and downloadable programs offering articles submit services, thus making your choice a hard one when having to choose a single option. And the situation is not looking to clear up, as more and more companies offering articles submit services pop up, with the rising demand of webmasters. Still, we've decided to give you a few tips on choosing the right such service provider, be it a website with an automated script or a downloadable program. Here's what to look for in an articles submit service provider:

Number of publications that your articles submit to:

This is one of the important factors, but not necessarily a decisive one. The more E-zines and article directories your content gets submitted to, the more Internet traffic you get to your own website and the higher you'll rank in the search engines, due to the fact that you'll have more links incoming to your website. In addition, the bonus of having a large number of publications to submit articles to will also grant future publishing possibilities from editors and webmasters scavenging these E-zines.

Quality of publications that your articles submit to:

Obviously, numbers are important, but if you had a choice, it's best to submit your articles to 10 quality E-zines with a lot of visitors instead of 50 low quality ones that don't scoop up a lot of unique hits and don't spark the interest of publishers, thus proving to be a dead end for your articles. In addition, lower quality or newer E-zines and article directories have lower search engine importance and ranks, thus the linkage they'll provide for your website won't have the impact that fewer, higher ranked websites would have if they linked to you.

Extra features:

Each article submission service provider will come up with some tricks and unique or varied features to spark your interest. This can range from additional SEO or internet traffic tools, the ability to better manage and store your articles, scheduled article submissions and so forth. Depending on your needs, you will probably want to choose the article submit service provider that covers them best.

In addition to choosing the best article submit service for your business, you should also know the exact steps required to submit articles efficiently with respect to Internet traffic generation and search engine optimization.

Create your content articles:

Creating the article that you will use for submission may often be harder than actually submitting it. This is because you'll probably want to submit articles to hundreds of E-zines and article directories and each have their own set of rules that you need to respect if you want that article to get posted. For example, some E-zines require the articles to be in a strict word count limit, so you can't simply create 100-word paragraphs and submit them as "articles" or create 3-page long stories that no one will have the patience of reading.

You'll also have to be careful with the keywords you use in the articles. You will want to keyword optimize the article in order for people with a specific interest to find it and follow up on your link, but you can't get too spammy about it. When you submit articles that are too keyword-rich, some E-zines might warn you or even deny the article and consider it spam.

Register to the preferred E-zines:

You may need to manually register to each E-zine or article directory that you will want to send articles to in the future. After you register, provide the automated submission software or website with your login information, so that on future submissions, the script may automatically log on to those E-zines for you and submit articles.

Choose how you want to submit articles:

There are several websites and software packages out there that have automated services allowing you to submit articles to hundreds of E-zines at the same time. Blast Articles is such a website, however, besides its article submission capabilities, it also offers several other bonuses and article management options that will come in handy. Choosing the software or website to help you submit articles should be determined by the number of E-zines it can automatically send your article too, as well as whether or not it offers management and additional feature.

More Worries For Buy-To-Let Tenants As Landlords Default On Mortgage Repayments

Landlords are finding it tough and the last few months have seen 50 per cent more struggling with mortgages.Many people cannot buy at present and renting is popular again but anyone renting must be sure that their landlord is not having problems.

One couple, Chris and Siobhan Taylor, agreed to rent and paid 48,000 pounds, up-front, for a five-bedroom house in Loughton, Essex.By doing this they got a 6,000 pound discount but a few months down the line they learn that their landlord is behind on his mortgage repayments by tens of thousands of pounds.
Siobhan said, 'We are feeling very vulnerable.We had no idea when we rented the property that this could happen.We just assumed that everything was OK.We face losing all our money and our deposit, or having to go to court, should the lender want to repossess during our one-year tenancy.'


Unfortunately, the Taylors' have found the huge hole in the legislation protecting tenants.

When you pay rent above 25,000 pounds you have to sign a standard tenancy contract, not an assured shorthold tenancy contract; this would have protected them more in this case.

The deposit they paid of 7,850 pounds will have been given to the landlord directly and not to a third party as is recommended under the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme, so is gone and the same applies to anyone sharing a house or a flat and paying over 2,083 pounds monthly, if the lease is in joint names.

Head of operations at the Association of Residential Lettings Agents (ARLA), Ian Potter, says, 'The whole subject of the private rented sector is under review in a Housing Green Paper.It is acknowledged that the current system is not satisfactory.'


The problem is, there are no regulations for letting agents.

Members of ARLA do have to follow their codes of conduct but this does not include ensuring that a landlord has informed his lender that he is renting the property and produce proof that they have, it simply says that they must inform them.Therein, is a loop hole that prevents the letting agent from being deemed negligent.

Sue Anderson, from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, advises, 'A bank or building society will eventually send a letter to "the occupier" of a property.We advise tenants to open any letter addressed this way.The letter will give them a minimum of 14 days' notice of any court hearing to repossess the house.

'If the court does repossess, they will have a further minimum 28 days before the lender takes possession.As soon as a tenant realises there is a problem, they should get advice from Citizens' Advice or a solicitor, and make contact with their landlord's lender.'


If a property is to be let, the lender, once they know, will usually switch the existing loan to a 'buy-to-let' mortgage.

'If you have paid all the rent up front, then if the house is repossessed you need to put in a claim against the landlord for the outstanding rent and deposit.This would be paid out of any surplus once the property is sold.' says Mario Economides, at solicitors Lorrells Georgiou Nicholas LLP.

'Tenants falling outside the assured shorthold tenancy rules should insist that the landlord has his lender's consent and that any deposit is paid into an escrow account held by a solicitor or the letting agent'.

'I would not advise clients to pay rent up front as a year is a long time and you don't know what will happen.'
