    Hi there,

    I want to know that is it spamming if I do the following.

    1. If I submit a unique same article (which is NOT a part of my website) to the top 100 article directories.
    2. If I submit another unique article/story (which is A part of my website) to the top 100 Social bookmarking sites.

    Would anyone please clarify me is it right or not?

    I will really appreciate any help.

    Regards
    bushib

    I think this is not a spam, but it is better to diversify as much as possible to better results.

    to turn it into spam, simply replace "article directories" and "social bookmarking sites" with "email lists"

    I totally agree :p

    But to note: What I would do is spread out the submissions into intervals instead of doing all in one day (to even out the traffic) Good luck!

    I too have done this but if it a good article well written and someone would want to read it then its just more information on the web.
    Just dont get into the habit of sending out short garbage to multiple websites. It just wastes precious bandwidth
