Get your SEOd articles seen
Success can improved by following one or more of the steps.
Hopefully you'll get something useful from each of them.
1) You could use a program like Jason Potash's EzineAnnouncer to publish your articles to its built-in database of ezines which indicate they accept submissions. This tool could be very useful to you. You can find it over at http://www.ezineannouncer.com/ (or if you prefer to use my affiliate link http://wetrack.it/eza/af.cgi?3940)
2) You could use a service that you pay and let them distribute your article (such as www.articlesthatsell.com - this is not an endorsement as I haven't used their services)
3) You could visit article submission sites and manually submit your articles. (a few places you might want to start are:- http://www.ezinearticles.com, http://www.ideamarketers.com, http://chinese-school.netfirms.com/submit-travel-article.html, http://www.travelnotes.org/Travel/previous.htm, http://www.davestravelcorner.com - and other article directories - remember not just to look for travel directories since some more generic directories still include a travel section)
4) Start a Blog - This will have the added effect of archiving your articles and creating another place for people to find them, while also providing more links back to your website to help its visibility in the search engines (submitting your article to article directories also helps in this way)
Ok, this is where I'm going to wonder a litte bit outside of the box - Put your articles into an autoresponder. Setup a Blog with a relevant name (Use Blogger.com if you're new to this as it's really easy to get going with,and free). Set the blog to allow 'post by email' (PBE). Enter the PBE email address into your autoresponder. You'll now get your new blog having a new post made each day containing one of your articles (including your sig box and link to your site). (make sure your blog has the 'ping weblogs.com?' box ticked.
To add to the power of this tactic it's a good idea to either goto somewhere like www.pingomatic.com and announce your blog to several Blog directories, or to use a service or script to achieve a similar thing. (This works well for getting new pages on your websites indexed quickly too - just by linking to them in your blog, the search engine 'bots' will be around very soon)
This is easy to do and I'll happily help you out if you get stuck trying to implement it.
5) Having your articles in an autoresponder also means that you could offer them to other website owners and the work of delivering them is done for you.
Remember that if you have related products or services, the sig file is a great place for those, and with your autoresponder loaded up, you could even test which sig files work best and on what days etc.. Testing is important and this sort of information is great to track.
6) If your articles can be creatively merged to form a travel report (free to help increase traffic), or ebook (free/paid) you could even take your information to other places using methods that suit the new repurposed product.
Anyway, I hope some of that was useful to you and I wish you excellent luck in your efforts. (Actually, that's not true - luck's nothing to do with it, I'm sure you'll do fine).
The final thing I'd say is that a fellow Warrior called Allen Williams (from the Warriors Internet Marketing forum) made an excellent post this morning which I think everyone should read, so go here to read it - http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=31312

More Blog and Ping
More Blog and Ping Information..
The reason you'll hear Blogs and PR linked to getting indexed is this:-
1) When you setup a blog it's not quite the same as having a new website because there's one major difference - Even if they don't have the facility built in, you can effectively 'announce' the presence of your blog (and any new content you add to it) by 'pinging' (sending an announcement to) several large blog directories. In effect, this is like doing the 'add url' on a search engine, except that blogs get visited Very quickly whereas it could take ages for your site to get indexed this way.
If you use Blogger then there's a tickbox labelled "ping Weblogs" which if selected, will announce your new content to the Weblogs.com service whenever you post new material - this has the effect of getting the Googlebot (not mediabot) to visit your blog sometimes within minutes. Thus, if you've linked to some new pages on your site (some deep pages) - they usually also get a visit pretty quickly.
It's like getting a link from somewhere you know gets spidered regularly - except you can cause it to be spidered. (which is nice).
If you want Yahoo to come and see you quickly too, whether you're using Blogger or a different blogprogram, you can create a free MyYahoo account and add your feeds to it - that'll have the effect of 'announcing' them to Yahoo.
Again, the reason for this isn't to make your blog rank well - it's to get the links to your actual websites new pages to get spidered quickly because you're using the blog to call the bots for a visit and linking from the blog to your new pages.
2) The Page Rank comments - These are a reflection of the fact that in general, higher page rank sites get visited by the bots more frequently (since you can have a high PR from good internal linking and a few high PR incoming links from sites without much traffic - this is a generalisation and NOT a rule), so it's more likely that if you're not blogging and pinging that a few high PR links (from traffic heavy sites) will be a good alternative.
If you want even more, here's something I wrote on another forum recently (and in my blogs) about getting a high page count site indexed quickly:
No-one can guarantee that your site will be indexed in 24 hours since the only person with ultimate control is Google.
However, the key to getting a new site fully indexed is deep linking.
If you were to just leave the site and get links to the index page, you could end up waiting 9 months to get it all in.
Have you created a site map(s).
Depending on your site, it may pay you to create several site maps for different parts of your site.
The basic principle is this:
The Search Engine Bots will investigate pages that they find links to from pages that they're already visiting (you know this since you mentioned blog and ping).
When they do this, the work on a portion of the pages they've found about about at a time, so the more pages and the deeper the links to those pages - the longer it will take and the more times the bot will need to come back to get more.
So, the most effective thing you can do is: Create several site maps which cover lots of pages that have fairly shallow linking the get to them all (normally 2 levels max).
So rather than having 1 huge site map that lists every page. Create 5 site maps of 1000 links, or even more.
Then - Get links to these separate site maps aswell as your main index page. From as many different, high quality, high traffic sources as you can.
Blogs, RSS, Forums, Directories are all good examples of these.
If you get desparate you can buy links from high PR sites, but there's no need.
Any of the large, popular forums probably get visited by the bots every day (my own site does).
If you're not sure where to find directories to submit to, I've put together a huge list here:

If you want places to submit your blog/rss feed, I've put together a good list here:

This is how to get a site indexed quickly
Hi again,
This question was asked and I thought you might find the answer useful.
