Article Submission Plan Increase Link Popularity.

[sarpras2005@yahoo.co.in]

Prepare best quality 10 articles and submit it to more than 500 article directories. You will add your website link on about author part. This plan will increase link popularity of your website. You will get lot of one way link.

Here post your experience with article submits plan.

It doesn't work as well as you may think. 98% of the articles will end up in Google's Supplemental Index and will never see the light of day. Submit to only a few like ezinearticles, goarticles, and possibly isnare (using their distribution method).

[jimkarter]

I think all (except 2 or 3) will end up in supplemental index, which are of no use.

In my opinion it is best to go with just one directory, at least at first.

I have been writing articles and submitting them to directories for quite some time and over the past couple years I have seen traffic from only two of them to amount to anything. I am talking about over 100 article directories and in all this time I have seen traffic from 4 of them at the most! It has been a learning experience for me.

So now I submit an article to the one that has always brought me traffic. Sometimes I will submit the article to the other one after a few days, but not always and when I do I rewrite it a bit. My intention here is not to gain any PR boost, but to get real human traffic.

So, in my opinion, and from my experience I actually think less is better when submitting to directories.

This is only a guideline and doesn't help with the duplicate content in the long run. This is because other sites will pick up the articles from the directory and republish them. It is inevitable that there will be some duplication. But if you submit your article to a high traffic directory where people will actually read it you can get a fairly good flow of visitors.

On the other hand if you submit your articles to a large number of directories all at once the SEs will be flooded with what looks like (and is) spam and duplication.

If that easy, I won't end up with spamming. You method is spamming. But if you have 500 unique articles to 500 articles directories, then maybe it's work?

[kentuckyslone]

If I had 500 unique articles to submit I would definitely submit them all to the one directory that brings me traffic. But thats just me and my own opinion

Hi

I think that article submissions are a bit over-rated I would prefer to submit my sites to more directories.

Thanks

Article Submission is a very difficult way to Increase Link Popularity.
there are other ways, more easy to increase linkback

I agree completely. Submitting to directories is about traffic generation - not PR

I am one of those who value traffic much more than PR, but PR is great too :D

Completely agree.
I don't like the sound of spamming 100 article dir with same articles. It's better to focus 1 - 4 dirs with unique articles.

[PaulJames]

i think directories in general are over rated, i also think they loosing the PR passing ability.

My opinion

[gravtex]

Using articles to get links certainly doesn't work like it used to, but for driving traffic, I still find it incredibly useful.

The trick is to write excellent quality articles (not just quick junk articles) because you want other sites besides the article directories to put your articles on their websites. I have sites that every month send me a nice little chunk of visitors all because I put up good articles they decided to use.

But as a link building tool, I'm sad to say it's lost a lot it's power - that doesn't mean it doesn't work, just that it a shadow of its former self.

I had a site i launched 2 years ago, promoted it purley using articles and i gained pr5, it has slowly been eroded to 2 having done no work with it in 2007. I think this shows that artices are losing their ability to pass pr. But for getting human traffic they are very good and hey, write a good one and a few webmasters will publish it!

So most of you suppose article submission is not effective? I am planning to hire a company to do article submission, they charge $65 for submiting to 100 article dirs :(

Not worth it at all in my opinion. You could submit your article to the top 1 or even the top 4 or 5 very quickly and you will benefit just as much as you would from 100.

Save your $65 for other things - maybe some good featured listings in directories or hiring writers or something else you may want or need.

It is true that you can get traffic from article directories, but PR increase isnt likely. There is no doubt about that, but 100 directories will most probably not give you any more traffic than 3 or 4 of the top directories.

If your articles are the same contents for the 100 then it's not much use IMO. Better just submit your articles to one or two directories. Even just submitting to ezinearticles.com gives effects.

I snare will submit to over 40,000 sources for $2

I agree with that completely. If you submit your article to ezine articles and no where else you will receive just as much, if not more, benefit than you would get by having the same article in 100 directories - plus you would save your 65 bucks so it could be used for better purposes.

[SEOBusiness]

I have added four articles to digg.com,and still waiting for them to get the pr.

[sarpras2005@yahoo.co.in]

Write unique article and submite it to blogs.

[charlietree]

65 Bucks is a waste of money for all of that...I would spend that money on something else like ads or something that will generate real traffic to your site.

[clipod]

what are the top most article submission directories excluding ezine.com?

[angilina]

agree, the solution is to submit articles to only few directories with high PR or directories where u get a PR for ur article pages

[heisler]

depends what anchor text you use or what anchor text you have in tour url the articles themselves wont get that much traffic but it might give more backlinks

just want to ask, how will you know that you get PR on that article directories?

[taskmaster]

I can not believe that some still use this article hype, it dont work, if you want a little benfit of article, then write a different for every article site
