Update – 7/28/2012: It appears that having a global Alexa rank under 200,000 does not guarantee success as a few of the top ranked article directories have vanished over the past couple of years.
One of the most popular tips you’ll find out there for growing your website traffic is to write articles with your website link in the author byline. Not only will this grow your backlinks and get you some decent targeted traffic, but there’s the possibility of other webmasters republishing your content as well.
Chances are you’ve read this all before so I’ll cut right to the chase and give you what you need to make this happen. Here’s a list of free article directories. All you need to do is provide the content with the link bait. (Alexa rank as of 3/17/2010 included)
