    Hey guys,

    I have been doing a lot of article submission to help with my link building lately and now want to take it to the next level, and have a couple of questions.

    1) what is a safe number of sites to submit articles to? at what point are the automated submissions classed as spam?

    2) I have looked at a couple of the automated services as it is a lot cheaper than outsourcing.I'm a bit unsure which one to go for, does anybody have any recommendations or experience with them

    Cheers :)

    I would avoid auto submissions on any level (forum, blog, article, social bookmarking). Google is well aware of these softwares and services and will penalize you down the road once they see irregular patterns. If you have the same exact links as thousands of other sites, for example, they'll know that they were done by auto submitters. If obtaining links seems shady to you, it probably is and is a short term solution to SEO.

    Rewrite the articles including the resource box, that will take care of that.

    The spam question is really a personal one each person decides for themselves.
    To me if the articles have good content in them that people would want to read than no they are not spam.
    As for going automated I have tried several methods and articlemarketer works great for me. But if you just hit the top 5 article directories you will be fine.

    The second you start, any sort of automated submission is spam.

    i usually just submit to niche article sites, 1 unique article per site

    I don't think we can talk of spam with a dozen or 2 dozen articles directories, more than that then is it really useful ?

    It wouldn't a spam if you will submit original article to each niche article site.
    I thing you can use automatical submission and not become a spamer - soft help us not to fill in every form again and again, it's also save our time. But with soft you can easully cross the line.
    Be carefull

    Cheers for the advice guys, I think I am definitely going to give the automated route a miss. Quality over quantity
