I have read that many people will submit an article to a place like ezine and then rewrite it and submit it to several other article submission sites. My question is, do you have to rewrite the article each time you want to submit it to a different site or can you submit the same article to many sites? For example: I write an article and submit to eZine. Then I rewrite and submit to articlebase. Now if I want to submit it to articlesnatch, am I going to have to rewrite it again?
Ok so I can submit the rewritten article to other sites but I need to site the original source (where I posted it originally)?
Are you talking about trying to rank high? Yes, you have to rewrite it. Google will index the first one, and ignore all others.
That might depend upon the terms of the second and third site (both which would have the same article). The first site has a different article, so it is not involved. If a site requires unique content, then you have to rewrite. To get the best results in search engines and readers, you should always rewrite. The factors are quality, quantity, and time. I suppose reputation is also involved. Your reputation, and the reputation of the sites you give your articles to, are affected by your work.
Ok that makes more sense. I want to have a reputation of quality rather than quantity. Would it be advised just to stick to submitting to one site or should I take the time to rewrite and submit to other sites as well. I am basically promoting my websites while writing informative information for the viewers.
Put them where people and search engines will find them. If you have something to contribute on a site with many visitors, by all means try that. But I don't know if a single site is the best approach, as it's unlikely that everyone who would be interested in your site will be readers of one other site. So some variety is probably a good idea. You can try various things and see how they affect your visitors.
Actually you do not need to rewrite completely, just change some words here and there. Eg, "the first way to do this" become "the first tip is to do this"
Ok so change it up so it is still picked up by search engines and such. So far, I have been posting on my blog and on ezine articles.
Mary: You are certainly on the right track. Only 1 out of 4 people submit a truly unique original content, written by the author. The other articles either PLR , Private Label Right, articles, or they hired cheap workers to write it for them. The person taking the PLR short route, simply takes the article and uses a software spinner and changes a few words and submits the article. What the PLR submitter does not know is this. Some PLR articles, have already have been given away or sold 150,000 times before. I know this because my wife has 3 specialty article sites and one general one. I can get daily a new spun/sentence structure version of any category, sent automatically from the largest mass submitter. This company , then submits it to any article directory company or source willing to take it. Also I can get exact duplicates, from 2 article directory linked groups, consisting of 38 sites total. On true hand submission almost every article directory, including EZINE--EZA, accepts all the articles. Why, because that provides another page, where profitable ads can be posted. Most unfortunately care more about money than quality. However for search engine purposes, quality articles can appear on the front page of Google, within 24 hours for certain keyword combos. Personally, my best hand written article, according to Google, has produced 27 rank #1 to #4 position. different keyword combos.. So one quality article can produce results better than 600 PLR articles submitted! I will reveal, my secrets in 4-6 weeks to interested forum members. There are 30, all category article directory sites to consider submitting to. Do a Google search such as "best ranked article directories PR list". Print out your free copy, but make sure it is from 2010 data, not 2007. The top 30 provide a backlink of value to your article and Google value. Lastly do not forget an unique version for your own site. Yes it all starts with either a personally author written article, or outsourced article as base for adding author's creativity. Yes, you can not use a machine spinner. I remove every questionable one, 3 of 4 of total. Sure some PLR articles get by. 10 seconds is all it takes to spot an imitation, or wrong category article if the article directory cares about quality There are certain parts of an original quality article, that needs to be reworded, or all. That choice is yours. This provides more Google keyword combos that are higher ranked, or even another exact search phrase on the same front page of 10 listings. Google, on exact same articles, gives search importance to the first hand submitted articles. If the article has been rewritten enough (not spun), you will also be rewarded. I would suggest the original and 3 total rewrites. 3 of the top 30 article directories, and then 1 to your own site. On the next article do likewise, but change 2 of the 3 directories. Ultimately, find which 3 work best for you. If you use the best mass distribution company, there are going to require 3 rewrites. There are definite advantages, and one killer disadvantage, if done wrong for mass submission. For my new ebook, I will reveal legal shortcuts, and my discoveries. A shorter Beta version, still 30 pages, I am thinking of "selling" for a paypal coffee donation. Or maybe $5.00. Of course that would be only for forum member version. Finished Ebook pricing will be $27.00. Any member reading this, and can see value, I would like to view your input. Hope this gives you a little direction.
Now that truly is some great advice. I assure you that I will take that to heart and I will be looking for your Ebook.
Wow! Thanks for the tips. That is awesome. I do have a question, and would really like to hear feedback. I have always heard that you need a "catchy" title, but no one has really revealed exactly how to achieve this. My articles get a fair amount of clicks, of course I want more clicks, but I have also noticed that some really good articles get fewer clicks than mine, and it has to be the title. The content is great, but the title not so great. My main article titles are "how to" articles, with the keywords in them. Is there another strategy that works better? Any words of wisdom is greatly appreciated.
Please see my above posting. That will also be included in detail in my upcoming Ebook, with special "coffee donation" pricing for forum members beta introduction. I am a pro, but no one is a complete master. Some great tips and comments by the couple forums I belong to give me fresh ideas to explore, and maybe make alterations. Give me a hammer and screw driver, and then quickly call a repairman. I think you wanted info on article headline advice for Google rankings If so I, will provide a sneak preview, but later as mentioned above with be step by step details and why. (By the way, please forgive my typing -- strokes have caused my hands and eyes to hit wrong keys) THE WRONG WAY FOR HEADLINES This would include probably everything you have been told by the "Gurus", or spent money on. These are common examples.: 1. How to 2. The 7 best ways to 3. Have you ever...... 4. A new way to ......... 5. Why you should ......... These might qualify for content, but not the headline strategy THE RIGHT WAY FOR HEADLINES Going by your "lakelover" name, I will try to give you an example, starting with the keyword phrase - lake living strategies Here it is: Lake Living Strategies: Strategy to Live on Lakes Avoiding Killer Algae Attackers That was written for Google and secondly for readers. The headline is the most important of 4 major and 1 semi-major requirements for a quality article worth writing. If you think what I am saying is not just garbage or do, I appreciate comments as my posts sometimes with my mind speeding and my hands locking take some time. Hope this helps -- have a great day
wow, thank you so much. I have wondered about what I have been told, and I have made some money with my articles, but nothing to write home about. I will implement this right away. You have been very helpful, and I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, I am glad that helped. My response was shorter, because I do not want to take over the original post. If you want to PM me, I will being giving a few pre-release copies, in return for feedback, opinions, and parts not covered. PM your email, people wanting to learn get top priority. I really also learn back a lot from those interesting in questing more knowledge. Those are what make a great forum, like this. I could name to a forum where too many feel superior. Another that will poison the brains, and drain the cells of any sane person. My fireback to those demons inflicting poison, takes nerve of steel. I have been labeled insane, feared, and reputation exposer. Probably quite a bit right. The DigitalPoint Forum is a great place for you. No one starts at the top, and those at the top have a ways to still go. You are on the endless way up.
That is correct, but... The next one to an article directory you should do this. 1. Change the article title 2. redo the first 100 spaces of content if it is quality. That way, you might gain another Google listing So, the answer above is correct. Only make the option I showed, if you want for added value --- you can only decide that
Spaces should be redone? What do you suggest spaces be changed to? Blanks in higher-quality typefaces?
WHAT! I did not know you did not understand, or needed clarification. (do you know that word?) In case you do not know, words can be expressed in many manners, and intelligent people can understand them. For your sake: Spaces mean character spaces, not words.
