Any suggestions for better directing articles?

by Blade Runner 77

I'm working with a friends website called Frogads and I'm able to earn a generous affiliate commission for bringing commercial advertisers who want to advertise on the site. I understand of course that the site is fairly new but it is building well and this is a well worth it enterprise,. They are getting commercial advertisers who are bumping into the site and are signing up long term contracts.
My problem is that I'm not seeing response to my articles, which is the principle low budget method I'm using, to locate commercial advertisers of my own. The articles are categorized under 'internet marketing', 'business advertising', and 'online marketing'.
Can anyone think of a better direction to direct the articles, or perhaps a better approach other than what I'm doing?
Should I just continue what I'm doing and spread 'more bait in the water'?
One single advertiser can easily spend 10K per week, so even a single response will turn this right around for me.
I'm stumped ...
Many thanks BR88

      Do you or anyone have the top ten article directories?
      Can you alternatively use a article submission company?

    Hi Blade Runner 88. I recommend submitting your articles to article directories contextually relevant to your target topics, i.e. Internet marketing, online business and online advertising among others. I also recommend talking to webmasters of online communities with large mailing lists of people interested in such topics. Try negotiating mutually beneficial joint venture deals with them, such as publishing your articles on their contextually relevant pages ranking high in Google for your target keywords = They get useful content beneficial for their daily traffic, while you can funnel that traffic to your onsite content page offering more beneficial content not found in your articles. Or: Talk them into allowing your articles or advertisements or a review of your website and business to be included in their mailing list newsletters or updates = You can offer them commissions per ad/link click and higher commissions per purchase of your affiliate product... Another recommendation would be to spend time in online communities and social networks with a membership base comprised of people interested in such topics. Build mutually beneficial relationships with those people in those online communities. You can do this by helping them with their relevant questions and problems...

    You need publish them on the webpage with high PR and high reputation. That is better than ten more worse websites you publish the articles! Higher PR, much better!

      Hey, here are my favorite article directory, List Of Top 50 Article Directories By Traffic, PageRank

      If you hardworking enough, 1 article can post to these directory, but some of them only accept non duplicate content. It can build a very good backlink and most of the directory PR is quite high, you can get a positive traffic.

      Akhidr is right ... if it's possible to do this with articles.

      I would ignore page rank completely. Specifically, I'd ignore the so-called "page ranks of directories".

      Websites (including article directories) don't "have page rank". Pages have page rank. Those "directory PR's" are just the page ranks of the directories' home pages, but those are not where our articles are published, of course. :rolleyes:

      Articles submitted to article directories are published on their own PR-0 pages (yes, even in "Ezine Articles"). So take all that stuff with a big pinch of salt. In fact, better still, just take no notice of it at all.

      Context-relevance, as Akhidr wisely mentions, is far more important.

      I'd also ignore the comments about "duplicate content", which are completely wrong. There's only one article directory which requires previously unpublished content (and that's "Buzzle", which you certainly wouldn't be using for this).

      Many of the entries on the so-called "list of article directories" linked to above are not, in fact, article directories at all.

      ("Duplicate content" - which need not trouble you here at all - is actually a totally different thing from "syndicated content" anyway.)
