How to promote my article directory?

Question by Claudiu: How to promote my article directory?
I’ve set up (quite recent) an article directory with voting style ( http://www.publish-articles.com ) where authors could submit their articles. However, I need ideas on how to promote it so that authors would be interested in submitting to it so please let me know how to promote it. Any ideas on improving it (from the seo point of view) are also highly appreciated.

You can create content on Squidoo and advertise your article directory there. Also, post useful comments on other people’s lenses and include your site in the signature.

The reason for doing so is that anyone who uses Squidoo most likely writes and submits articles to article directories.

I’ve used this strategy with great success!
