Of course I have no idea why they publish an article about saving fuel when the blog apparently is about lizards. Fossil fuel? Fuel is made of old lizards, right? Anyway I like it (and here’s the article about saving gas)

More like this and I’ll be published all over the web…

So far the Speed Penalty article have been picked up by a number of publishers including Site Pro News. This just shows how important it is to select a good topic for your article before even starting to write. A newsworthy, and even a bit controversial,  article has a lot better chance of being picked up than a great article on a general topic.

Article marketing is one of the oldest and most effective ways to SEO your website. If done right using quality articles it’s a way to SEO that is unlikely to ever be penalized by Google. And the best thing is, once your article is in distribution you will continue to get new links as new publishers pick up your work.

ArticleSnatch is one of the bigger directories with a whopping 577,000 pages indexed by old Google. That’s not bad for an article directory. Especially since the interface doesn’t look too good

I just hate that they nofollow our links. If we give them an article they should have the courtesy of giving us a real links back!

Let’s hope at least some new editors pick up Aarons articles from ArticleSnatch

I don’t have the time to write about every topic myself so we sometimes hire ghostwriters to do articles on hot topics, like the Google Speed Penalty, the first article distributed by Aaron.

The profile Aaron has on Article Dashboard will contain all articles by Aaron much like the other profiles he will have on the major article directories.

ArticleDashboard.com is a fairly simplistic looking article directory but with a total of 56,700 pages indexed by Google (use site: to check) it definitely carries some link weight.

Here’s the info:

My site: Laundry Care Symbols was accepted into the Business category (just click that link to see the details page). The business category is a huge unsorted stack of sites with a total of 3584 sites listed right now… so I’m not expecting to get visibility from the business section any time soon.

Secret Search Engine Labs was accepted into the … hmm takes a long time to search on this site… still waiting to find my site so I can see the category….  now I got a blank white screen, lets try again…

So the whole site is down now and I’ll just have to try again later, I’ll update the post with the link to our Secret Search listing when they get back up.

UPDATE! We now have access again and Secret Search Engine Labs have been verified to be included in Adda4u, a free web directory with a lot of links.

You can also find The Lab through a search for the obscure term proprietary spider (because it wouldn’t show up for search engine or even Secret Search Engine Labs) and I just wanted to show you WE ARE in the search results

So adda4u is a free directory, it accepts a lot of submission, at least if you look at the 51678 active links they brag about in the right column.

If I recall it correctly we submitted about a month ago so the turnaround time is not that bad but the categories are pretty crowded so don’t expect to get an indexed link from a category.

Anyway Laundry Care Symbols is listed in the Accounting category (why accounting??) and it also have the must have details page, Laundry Symbols, with Title and Description but no hit counter this time.

Emkay Sports is a free directory and we got the site in though a submission service (that totally destroyed the title)

My Laundry blog even has it’s own details page Laundry Care Symbols and you can find it in the directory by doing a search for “Laundry”

Explore Thailand Online seems to be a local Thai business directory and I have no idea why my blog was submitted there or why it was eventually approved.

Would have expected that they require the business to be in Thailand or at least about a Thai topic to be included.

Anyway that was another free listing on the road to dominating the Laundry niche… and there’s more to come!

Bing Fan Blog is (surprise) a blog about the search engine Bing and now they had the kindness to publish my article “Search Engines in 2010″ I like that.

Getting the word out about Secret Search Engine Labs, my “home made” search engine is one of the biggest marketing tasks I’m facing and every step is a step in the right direction.

Now lets hope more bloggers and search sites pick up the story.

Atlantis Web Directory is a free web directory with the option to buy featured listings. Glad we got a free listing. Thanks Atlantis!

Because searching for my link does return the link but no information on which category it’s listed in…

And there’s no details page… no visible hit counter…

Only way to see my link is by doing a search for laundry care symbols which surprisingly don’t  return any other results.

The directory I’m talking about is counterdeal Web Directory, a place I found though one of the submit your site to 1000 free directory services

Lets hope I get some value for the time spent submitting
