As far back as May of 2005, Oprah, the darling of day time television, has been ruthlessly attacked morning, noon and night. She is not even safe as she sleeps behind guarded gatesand personal security. Despiteher estimated billion dollar net worth, she is helpless to defend herself. First there is oprahsucks.com. There are multiple posts, comments and even a mailing list for this series of attacks. Debbie Schlussel, a conservative political commentator, radio talk show host, columnist, and attorney owns this website and wastes no time in letting her opinion be known. Then there are the multiple YouTube attacks on Oprah. There are forums, blogs, posts on many different content sites and a dedicated website just so people can voice their distain for the her.

She has been attacked through virtually every form of media, but none has given voice to the masses more than the internet.What is the source of my information you may ask? Google. Simple, straight forward search results. Had these types of results been found for a small business owner or business professional, their career would most likely have been ruined. Fortunately, the big O has enough money to simply ignore these complaints. Ordinary, small businesses cannot afford to ignore online attacks. Doctors, lawyers and officers of public companies are severely impacted by online complaints. Even state and national government officials cannot combat this new form of slander.

This service business is sure to experience significant growth over the next few years as these online search attacks grow in number and veracity While the super stars and the super rich simply brush aside attacks on their character, most cannot. As real income and real opportunity are impacted, all professionals must monitor their online presence and manage the content found. Very few of us can simply say O well...

Article submission directories allows for an even quicker way to get back links or traffic by only requiring a quick registration.
Article Submission:
Article submission is still working. Although the page rank that your site are getting from the links in your articles is not as much as it was used to, the search engines, although not equal, will give you recognition for each backlink. Article Submission not only provides free backlinks but also the viral article promotion you get when a person publish your articles after taking it from the article submission site.
Article Submission Service:

Article Submission Sites:
Article Submission sites usually just let you submit your articles but sometimes they give you more than just a link or links back in return for adding content to their sites. You get adsense sharing sites that give you a share in the income that their site generate.
