Benefits of Travelling with Gateway Travel

For travel writers and authors of vacations of a lifetime, the clear goal is to improve the standings in the search engines for travel websites and the current method you are using is short travel article submissions on top tier article submission sites like Gateway travel. However, there are 2nd tier sources too.

The hope is that folks looking for travel articles online will use an article library and land on your travel article, thus leading them back to your website. But, what other ways are there to improve your chances for search engine excellence besides good travel stories and travel tips and information? Below find some hints…

So you have just had your travel article published on a top article engine. Now is it time to sit back and wait for the hits? Hardly. The next thing to consider is to look around and see if there might be somewhere else to submit a revised version of your work. Note, I said, revised. No article database wants to see multiple submissions, but using your original work as the core, look to see how you can rewrite portions to come up with another significantly different article based on the essence of your original work. With that in hand, you're ready to go in search of other article outlets.

Some suggestions include like minded travel blogs and websites that may already be looking for travel articles for reprint to improve their internet footprint. To find out more about this method, simply search for the topic of your article and see what pops up, or failing to find comfort there, search “travel articles” in general. You may be pleasantly surprised to see how many “2nd tier” places there are that want your travel and tourism articles! Make sure to not only point your tourism article back to your website target, but also back to your top tier vacation article too! This is form of submission triangulation that will help your search engine score.

Regardless, after you publish your short travel article epic, you want to give it the best shot it can get for it. One of the easiest ways to help it along is with social bookmarking sites like digg and Propeller. If this is new to you, not to worry, for you'll catch on quickly. Join the aforementioned sites, and then look around for the best of the rest, and there are tons of places. Then, judiciously bookmark the url of your published article. I say judiciously, because you don't want to overdo it by bookmarking the same travel article everywhere you can. Be selective, because overdoing it could be considered spamming by the bookmark places…and you really don't want to get known for that. Then after you bookmark your tourism article, the next thing to do is to go to a “ping” service like Pingler and “ping” your article…and possibly even your bookmark of the article. This is said to be a way to more quickly let the search engines know that there is something new out there and to go get it. The process is dirt easy and takes but a few moments fulfill to gain the edge on search engines.

So, the wrap here is that after you submit your travel article and it's accepted and published, your next job is to supercharge it with additional submissions to 2nd tier sources, and helping the search engines with social bookmarks and pings.

The hard work, after all, was researching and writing the travel article. Once you're hooked up and signed up with these other places, putting those ribbons and bows on your beloved tome will be easy indeed
