Looking for an article directory list? Then look no further. We have painstakingly created a definitive article directory list packed with all the crucial information that you need to help you promote your site as quickly and effectively as possible. Not only does our article directory list provide detailed information on each site but we also provide an overall rating of each site on our article directory list to help you make an informed decision about the best sites on which to promote articles about your site. To date we have over 50 article directory sites listed but we are updating this every week and are aiming for 400+

The comprehensive information contained within out article directory list has been collected over a 12 month period based upon our personal experience of each and every site. We have written and posted over 45 high quality articles on each of the sites in our article directory list. Each article is identical in order to accurately measure an article directory sites performance.

We hope that our experiences will help you find the most effective article directories to promote your own articles and ultimately your online site or product. It is important to stress however that whilst our experiment has tried to be comprehensive there is a possibility that you may disagree with our ratings based upon your own experiences of the site and the types of articles that you are submitting and we respect this. Our ratings are not designed to rubbish a given article directory but rather to help you choose the most effective option from our article directory list and also to recognise the efforts of those article directory sites that work hard to regularly approve and promote your articles and by doing so drive traffic to your site.

A Guide To Our Article Directory List Ratings

The Page Rank feature is a tool used by Google to help provide a snapshot of the popularity of a website. The higher the page rank the more popular a site is deemed to be and therefore the more visitor traffic it is likely to generate. Visitor traffic is good because it means that your articles are likely to get more visitors which results in more clicks on your website. Look for article directories with higher page ranks.

Average Article Approval Time - This feature is used to measure how quickly your articles are approved on the article directory site. The faster they are approved the quicker your site benefits from back links and visitor traffic. Anything under 1 week is very good but within 48 hours is excellent.

Site Speed - This feature measures how fast the article directory site is to access and how quickly you can post your articles. The higher the rating out of ten the faster the site and the more articles you can post in a shorter time.

Article Circulation - This feature is calculated by taking into account the number of downloads of articles posted and visitor traffic from the specific article directory site on our article directory list. The higher the rating out of ten the more widely your article may be circulated by this site and/or the more visitor traffic clicks are received from this article directory.

Google/Yahoo Backlinks - All search engines work on the principle that a website's popularity is measured by the number and the quality of links from other sites.
