Article submission sites help businesses and bloggers promote their content and strengthen their website’s SEO. Publishing a useful article on a high-traffic platform can improve your search rankings, bring in new visitors and earn backlinks that boost your visibility.
What is article submission?
Article submission is the practice of publishing original, helpful content on recognised third-party platforms, with a link back to your own website. A good article can rank for mid- and long-tail keywords on its own, introduce your brand to a new audience and position you as an expert in your field.
Benefits of article submission
- Better rankings – relevant backlinks from trusted platforms support rankings on Google and Bing.
- Authority – helpful articles position you as an expert in your niche.
- Backlinks – a contextual link inside quality content is worth far more than a bare profile link.
- Visibility and traffic – popular articles keep sending readers and enquiries for months.
How to write an article that gets approved
- Pick a topic your audience actually searches for and that matches the platform.
- Write original content — at least 600–1,000 words — and never paste the same article on several sites.
- Use a clear headline, short paragraphs, subheadings and, where allowed, one or two images.
- Add one or two natural links to genuinely relevant pages on your site; avoid keyword-stuffed anchors.
- Write a short author bio with your name, expertise and website.
- Read each platform’s guidelines before submitting, and proofread for spelling and grammar.

Frequently asked questions
How do I submit an article for publication?
Choose a relevant platform, read its submission guidelines, prepare an original, well-structured article and submit it through the site’s editor or submission form. Some publications ask you to contact the editorial team first.
What should I include in my article submission?
A compelling headline, well-structured content with subheadings, relevant images where allowed, one or two natural links and a short author bio.
How long should my article be?
Most platforms accept 600–1,500 words. Aim for enough depth to fully answer the reader’s question, and follow any word count in the site’s guidelines.
Can I submit the same article to multiple sites?
It is better not to. Duplicate articles compete with each other and often get rejected. Write a unique version for each platform, or publish on your own site first and use a canonical link where the platform allows it.
Should I include links in my article?
Yes — include a few relevant links that genuinely help the reader. Avoid excessive or keyword-stuffed links, which can get the article rejected.
Do I keep the copyright when I submit an article?
It depends on the platform’s terms. Many let you keep copyright and grant them a licence to publish; always read the terms before you submit.
