			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lot of people wonder why the category can&#39;t be specified for an article during the Article Creation part of the process. You know, one general category for each article then **poof** it&#39;s filled in on each submission form.</p>
<p>It sounds like something that would really speed up the process, doesn&#39;t it?</p>
<p> However, here&#39;s a few things to think about that some of the other &quot;one click&quot; software creators won&#39;t tell you:<br />
<blockquote>
<p>1. Throughout the 850+ article directories there are over 30,000 specific category choices. There&#39;s a reason for this, and that&#39;s because your category choice is your first line of keyword relevance and the more specific you can get, the better.</p>
<div>2. The article directories are keenly interested in keeping their site categories relevant to increase page rank for themselves and for you. Irrelevant back links are useless for Page Rank.</div>
<div>3. People go looking through the article directories to find specific articles on specific topics. If your article isn&#39;t where it belongs, people won&#39;t find it. This decreases your article&#39;s popularity on the site, plus destroys any increase in page rank for your own site, because if they can&#39;t find your article, they can&#39;t use it and give you the back link.</div>
<div>4. Because the article directory owners are so keenly interested in keeping their relevancy up for their categories, chances are they&#39;re going to delete your article and it&#39;ll never be seen or heard of again.</div>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">Now lately there have been some emails coming from irate article directory owners who complain about articles being submitted without a category choice, or being submitted into the wrong category. Some will give you a chance to correct any article you&#39;ve submitted, but most will just delete them to give themselves more time and opportunity to moderate articles that are submitted properly.</p>
<p align="left">We just received an email from one in particular who claims to have over 12,000 articles submitted into the wrong category. They aren&#39;t going to take the time to check them all and reroute them, so chances are, if you submitted articles to them and didn&#39;t choose the right category, your article will be deleted.</p>
<p align="left">We can&#39;t stress enough to you that choosing the wrong category is like mailing a letter without an address or zip code, and unless you&#39;re sending a letter to Santa Claus, it&#39;s bound for the &quot;dead letter file.&quot;</p>
<p align="left">Article Submission is not the same thing as submitting a url or a classified ad. The concept around article submission and article marketing in general is to set yourself up as an expert in your field.</p>
<p align="left">Your intent should be to present yourself as professional and make sure your articles are read by as many people who might be looking for your information as possible.</p>
<p align="left">So please utilize the category choice buttons on the submission forms and learn to appreciate that just the little extra time it takes to choose the right one out of all 30,000 will make all the difference in the world for you.</p>
