What are article directories?

Another way to post some information to your blog is by posting article directories. Article directories according to wikipedia.org is a form of Search Engine Optimization where companies and professional writers submit articles based on a specific niche. Article directories are also called Ezines or Online Magazines for their depository methods hosting hundreds or thousands of documents related to a given subject.

ezinearticles.com is I think is the world's most poplular article directories site. According to what I've learned from attending internet marketing workshop, article directories are for those who want to easily post to their respective blogs according to your niche or to what is your blog is all about.

You can copy any article from any sites legally as long as you copy a part of the article or at least you leave a comment after you copied the article. But in article directories, you need to copy the whole article word-by-word and you don't need to leave a comment. Just copy the whole article and that's it.

Why is that? The thing with this article directories is everytime you copied an article in article directories, you give the author a favor of making a link from your site or blog to his/her. So there is no issue of plagiarism because the reason why authors are sending articles to article directories is for that particular one---for someone to make a link of his/her articles.

Tomorrow I'll post article directories from James Parmis about the basic information that you need to know in internet marketing.

HTML Knowledge in Making a Blog?

For so many days, I've spent hours searching where to find cool blogger templates. I've found some but the sites are what I think was not updated because the html codes(or xml codes, honestly I'm not sure) was not accepted in "Edit HTML" section in setting a blogger blog. But the question is, does it matter that you have knowledge in html codes? Some say "no" because there are some templates ready to download, some say at least a little, but my mentor Jomar Hilario says we don't really need to. It's about the content, promotion, or can I say marketing. That is what internet marketing is, making something popular online.

I met an internet marketer aside from Jomar Hilario in our online club, a club created none other by Kuya Jomar. I was also amazed by his knowledge and wisdom in internet marketing. His name is James Parmis, I don't know him personally but I can see how successful he is in internet business. I also learn a lot from him, you can also see his blog about internet marketing at http://www.makemoneyonlinemanila.com. He also make a link of my blog  to his blog.

I have more to learn in this business that is why I can't give any more help as of now, but to share my life experiences regarding this internet business or knowledge and wisdom from other people who has already achieved the goal that I want to achieve. That means I find the answers from the right people. That also means that I just don't do trial and errors but rather seek the right answers from the people who already learn from their own mistakes.

I'm not sure if  "HTML Knowledge in Making a Blog?" is the proper title for this blog post. At least, I gave you my answer (or I mean other internet marketers' answers) to the title.

I spent a huge amount of time perfecting a blog design end up to this(a three-column blog, as you can see in my blog). I now believe that content is more important than the looks of your blog. Maybe you can just improve your blog design after you have a fair amount of contents and browsers.

For the coming days, I will post some of James Parmis' articles from ezinearticles.com. If you can't wait just go to this link for the list of his articles so you can also learn.

P.S. If your stubborn like me, or can I say love to do his/her own thing(sometimes). You can create a three-column minima template design just like in mine, a step-by-step guide by clicking to this site.
