Hi,

I recently launched www.articlealley.com its an internet article site.

I run several sites and have a lot of experience in getting good
rankings etc and know about keydirectories such as Dmoz etc.

I am looking for a list of sites, that authors of subjects which my
site covers, visit to find sites such as ours to submit their articles
to.

The sites might be webmaster resources or dedicated forums etc or
specialist sites etc.  Another target would be a series of resources
pages that list such sites.  I know of dozen of such sites that cover
directories but very few that cover sites to submit articles too etc.

Thanks in anticipation.

Clare

Hello clawrence~

As I understand it, you're looking for websites (or other sources) to
alert writers to your website, and let them know that you can provide
work for them?

I can offer a number of solid sources that will help you achieve this.
I would much rather only provide you with the best, more reliable, and
trustworthy sites; however, I would end up recommending five total.
Does this sound reasonable to you? Or would you prefer that I expand
the list to other sources, too? (And if so, how many would you like?)

Kind regards,
Kriswrite

Thanks.

Yes I am looking for sites that authors use to find places to publish
their articles.  I have actually spent longer looking for such sites
that it took to write my own articles, hence the frustration.

My site does not provide work as such, it is meant as a distribution
site for authors to publish their work and to attract visitor back to
the authors site.
The authors register with us, submit their site for review, our
editors review it and if its found suitably meritious etc its
published.

Ideally I would like a list of sites that I can approach to include
articlealley as a suitable publishing medium.

The longer the list the better, as I guess that my site will not get
onto ever list etc.

Thanks

Clare

Other resources such as article site directories ( if there are any )
would be helpful.  We are in the process of submitting to the main
ones such as Yahoo etc, but niche ones would be useful etc.

Unfortunately, the sources I had in mind will not consider listing
your site unless the authors will be paid.

Sorry I can't be of more help,

Any takers at $100?

This looks like an attempt to drum up visits, either directly or by
getting Page Rank passed value from Google. Maybe the author will
answer it, and drop another URL.

And, sure enough, the site is all about Search Engine Optimization.

Hi,

No I have no interest in drumming up enquiries via Google Answers.

I am looking to pay for a researcher to identify sites which authors
use to find promotional sites.  I have written about 45 articles of my
own, and found it hard to find distribution channels.  I created this
new site to help others in a similar position.

This is a new areas for us.

I just increased the price to $50 in the hope that this is more
attractive as a project.

Any takers at $75?

I think someone else could best answer this question, but I trust that
the site is as she suggests -- it appears to be hosting a number of
articles on a range of internet subjects (and it isn't overrun with
ads).
