1. Build Incoming Links To Your Article
The main reason your article gets so much search engine attention at first is because of all the incoming links it gets at the article directory where you posted it. After it moves off the new article list on the front page though, the most powerful links disappear. Your article's search engines rankings will start to drop soon after, unless you make-up for those lost links by creating your own inbound links to your article.
For example, if you have your own websites, instead of reposting your article on them, post your GoArticles' article link on your website pages.
2. Social Bookmark Your Article
Another way to create more inbound links and help keep your article ranking high is to post your ranking article's link to social bookmarking sites such as Del.icio.us and Furl. Be sure to tag your bookmark with related keywords and use a headline that includes both your main keyword phrase and a call to action.
3. Submit Your Article's RSS Feed To RSS Directories.
A powerful but underused tool is your RSS feed for your article directory's author account. For example, with the GoArticles.com article directory, you can find your rss feed link on your author bio page, right below your bio. It's linked to the orange box that reads "XML". This feed can then be copied and submitted to dozens of popular RSS feed search engines such as Icerocket and Feeds2Read, creating many more inbound targeted links to all of the articles in your author account.
Keep in mind the above techniques can be used to help keep your rankings high not just for articles posted at GoArticles.com, but for articles you have submitted at any directory that have started showing up in the search engines. Using the above tips to create more inbound links to your articles will help hold those rankings for a much longer time in the search engines, greatly extending the effectiveness of your article writing and marketing efforts.
