Article submission for backlinks, are still worthy?

Testing is not necessary, just take some titles from your submitted articles and Google them with quots. You will find that many webmasters take the content but not the link.

 

It's amazing, this post was indexed on Google by querying "article submission not worthy"

 

Hello good morning my dear friend,
where were you,
but to inform you that article are the best sources to get traffic and backlinks too as in "G " eye articles are considered as the best source to rank a website

 

I guess that was 4 years ago. Now is different. Google it self have announced that they don't give credit to outbound links from article directories as they suppose to be. Take a look on google's webmaster blog. If you have any source to support what you saying please share.

 

Only if the content is unique, if you submit same article to various places then its not worth
remember unique content is king

 

I think articles are a very good strategy and you do get traffic from them. If you have Google Analytics on your site you will be able to see exactly how much traffic you get.

 

Can you prove that google greeting?

 

Of course, think of this. On 2009 google made 350 changes in their ranking algorithms. Linkwheels are not working anymore unless your get links for your wheels, article directories are the only one having a benefit from us but not our links. Google do not count many links from different sites. For example, digitalpoint signatures worth nothing. Wanna know more? visit Matt cuts blog

 

The key is getting other websites to publish articles you submit. This is the back-link that counts. Ive written a few articles, did the magic and Ive found a dozen or more blogs or "auto-blogs" that have published my articles, links intact. Ive moved up from page 7 to page 3 for my high competitive keyword and page 1 for my 2 other main keywords. I started all this about 2 months ago on a 4 month old site. Site is PR2 now and will go up to 3 for sure next update!

As for what nikomaster says about the weight given to multiple links from one site is true. They basically count as just 1 link. But having sitewide links helps. The real power is true one way links......not so much forum sigs, blog comments, etc. Other sites publishing your articles is where its at, especially if they have some PR.

 

Sorry but a lot of what you are saying is just wrong. Don't believe everything you hear. Test everything. I have been using articles for some time now and can tell you that they DO carry value. It may not be great...but it is still a good way to get your links. I tried to find something...anything...to support you but could not. (Edit: Just reread your post and seen that you are talking about other sites republishing articles. I actualy have many links that are dofollow from this so even if it seems to be worthless in that view it is not. You just need to understand that it is not all about nofollow and dofollow anyway. Besides, there is a debate still going as to if nofollow means anything anyway. I have heard reports of people doing tests that show it means nothing.)

 

Here is thing, how do you do it? Where are you submitting your articles? In what topics are you applying this? Our options are getting smaller. There are no more links out there, they are being vanished by Google. How many articles should I write and where to publish them.

 

In my own experiences, it is still work but not so useful as comparing with blogging. Generally speaking, you would have more controls in building backlinks for SEO purpose via blogging.

Have a nice day,

 

I have read some post from Matt Cutts, the Google engineer leader of the spam team. He have said many times that a nofollow means nothing. It pass a little of pagerank but it do not pass anchor text. However, I have site listed on a non competitive keyword. All the links with that keyword are nofollow.
This is my view of Google: They are big and have all technology at their hands. They got all they need to make a complete analysis of a site. I think they decide whether a link worth or not. If I can build a machine capable of making desicions so imagine what they can do.

 

I submit articles to generate traffic, because article writing and submission spends much more time than other way, it costs too much time. For backlink building I think you should go other ways

 

I do not why these answers are that repetitive.
