<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>How To Create And Manage An Article Directory</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Ann Lopez</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>There are a lot of article directories, but the numbers seem to reflect the belief that online businesses fail to appreciate all that can be done with creating and managing an article directory. Perhaps one reason is they automatically think about competing with the giants such as Ezinearticles or Articlesbase. Yet there are other uses and purposes that an article directory can serve. An article directory gets traffic, and what you expose to that traffic is the key to what you can do with it. There are no rules about what you can use an article directory for, so you can make it for any topic you want. If you take a little time to do some creative thinking, you will discover the real power that lies with creating your own directory.<br />
<br />
Your categories must contain the exact keywords that you want to rank for in the search engines. As you know, a good theme will help a lot; the site cannot be annoying to people in any way. Remember that the choices you make in the beginning will have far reaching effects on your site down the road. Do research on silo structure and optimization, and then you need to make your site along the same principles. But you will have vastly more to consider with an article directory. Just think of this as putting in the proper effort that will reward you later.<br />
<br />
You need to track everything so you can make possible revisions accordingly. A quality tracking application will give you invaluable information. It is well known that being able to see where people are coming from plus what they do on your site is important. As you know, Google has their Analytics application, and a lot of people think highly of it. For something like an article directory, that may be a wise move. But there are valid yet critical points some people make concerning Analytics. If you want an alternative, Statcounter is popular with a lot of people.<br />
<br />
If you don't mind making an investment, the setting up of your article directory can be outsourced, and it won't cost as much as you probably think. You could actually outsource everything, including the day to day management of it. You have to decide if you'd be comfortable with this. If you're new to outsourcing, you shouldn't just jump in without learning more about it. You can have a great experience with outsourcing, or it can be a way to waste lots of money if you don't thoroughly investigate who you're dealing with. This is not meant to scare you away from this potentially lucrative practice. Get a free or inexpensive guide on the subject from a trusted source so you can learn more.<br />
<br />
Creating and then managing your article directory is not something you should be afraid to do, and the benefits are tremendous. You should not wait until you are an expert on paper because so much of your education will be by doing.<br />
