Article Submission is working out great

I have found many article submission sites, and I have a lot of articles I've written, so I'm submitting them all. They have resource boxes so I put my site there. I've heard that if you have a regular link, like just the URL, next to a link where the anchor text is a keyword you are targetting, it helps a lot. Since it's hard to do that with link exchanges or link purchases, article submission is great. Also, I'm going to be able to get a lot of links since I have a lot of articles. Although I think I have to submit them slowly, since I can't get too many links too fast. Anybody who wants links, just write one or two articles, and submit them to a lot of article submission sites! I'm sure I'm not the first person to talk about this, but I wanted to say how it was working out fantastically for me.

 

How are you handling releasing your articles? Are they articles which have been on your site for a while already or are you releasing them on your site and posting to article directories at the same time?

I'm not currently submitting articles but I'm considering it in the future. I have some articles on my site which aren't receiving much traffic any more, have difinitely been indexed by the search engines and I'm considering using article directories as a way to target a more diverse array of keywords. Specifically related to those older articles.

 

I personally post them on my site and then immediately post them on my articles sites. Is this okay?

 

Rather modify the articles before posting them on article sites.
Best if you remake them fully, but it requires lot of time.
Anyway, at the end of day you will have couple of sites having your modified article (which is little worse than your original article you published on your site) as part of their content, pointing to your original article, which is - surprisingly - better than those that link to it.

You get links, you get PR and also you get prominence within your field as those who link to you are 1 class lower.

 

I think it is advised that you don't do this. If the search engines visit another site which is using your article before they visit your site they may think that you are using their content and penalize your site for using duplicated content.

There are a couple of ways around this:-

1. Wait until the article has been spidered on your site (probably going to be my approach)
2. Alter or rewrite for the article directories (Kaudo)

 

I haven't changed the articles at all, I left them intact, and the articles have been on my site for awhile. I think I'll start making small edits in the future.

 

I agree 100% and do both of these. the first takes about two days. the second takes a week for the articles to start to populate with different guidelines, ect, ect.

hopefully that sandbox filter will only last 90-120 days because of this. i submit to sixty sites and takes about 2 hrs now that i got it down

 

I would add that arcticles should have a real value for your target audience, so that people link to you from their web sites. In that case it'll have a real impact on your PR.

 

I pay for articles written for my blog. Now theres a reason I buy content lol enough said. Anyways Its a catch 22. If i post them on my site and not to article dirs then I get no backlinks, if I post them on the article dirs and not my site then people will come but leave becuase theres nothing else.

Now when websites reprint articles with permission from other sites they reprint the exact article on their own site with reference to who wrote it. Many big name sites are also doing this and they arent getting banned so why would my site get dinged, it doesnt make sense.

Anyone explain this one?

 

A good idea is to have a short summary of your article and submit it to the article directories. Make the shorter version interesting and 'catchy' so the user is forced to come and visit your site to read the entire article. Then on the article page, you should have links to other interesting and related articles and people will surely bookmark your site or link to your article.

You can also avoid the duplicate penalty like this.

 

Now im freaking out. Ive submitted already another 5 so 10 total with full articles and 5 are now pending and already submitted.

Should I cut the article in half submitting only the top half of the article then have a link:

More: <-linked to the entire article?

Wont it still catch the first part being duplicate also. I'll be honest I dont feel comfortable rewording any part of the articles becuase they are what I want and am afraid of making the article worse or the page im submittin it to just rejecting the article period becuase its incomplete.

 

I doubt that Link Development through articles is only the good way left.. ?

What do you guys think ?

 

For me its about 1 of 5 ways im using:

Rss Feeds/Submit to rss dirs
Articles/SUbmit to article dirs
Forums postings with sigs
Link exchange recip
Buying links one way

There are a few more but its late and cant remember lol

 

I feel restricting the article sites for any ones articles would be better. Keep submitting your articles to a few good article directories, not in 100's
That will be beneficial looking at the duplicate penalties as well.

 

I am submitting using isnare and other high PR article sites. Thats it. Supposedly iSnare submits to well respected article sites and a few members here seem to trust them. I'm giving them about a month. I'll see which sites they have submitted to through google and if they are sites I wouldnt submit to then I wont use them if not I will continure to use them.

 

I must use articles submissions but i'm not that good ai it as i never been submiting articles and olso i'm not a writer

 

There is nothing great to know in that.. Just get your articles written by someone, either submit them manually yourselves or pay to some directory submitters to get the work done.

 

I'm submitting myself, I'm not paying $35 for someone to do it for me. The articles aren't really that related to the overall content of my site, but some of them I think are good enough to get me links.

 

I did not have good experience with article submission. I had an article on my site for a week or so, then used articlesender.com to submit it. They submitted to about 30 sites. It is now about 2 months. If I search for the article title in google, my site only shows up. Yahoo doesn't bring in any site for the search term.
Is it because of duplicate content issue?

Thanks,

 

Maybe that's because you only waited a link, you probably need to wait longer.
