Hi if I posted articles to ezine articles would they be nofollow? also, can you please recommend top 5 article directories that rank well in google and have "DOFOLLOW"? Thanks
ezinearticles.com is dofollow. Other good directories can be GoArticles.com ArticleBase.com IdeaMarkters.com ArticleApshere.com Knol.Google.com Amazines.com Hope it'd help Cheers!
Here is a list of 2500 article directory http://myseoblog.net/2008/09/02/2500-lists-of-free-article-directories/
I only send to Ezinearticles, because unless you have software to automate this for you.. it's a waste of time. I mostly use Articles for one way back links and hopefully to help improve my SE so I can get some Organic traffic flowing in. I don't care what everyone says, I personally prefer writing articles for links over writing them for traffic.
Writing articles and getting indexed them from the article directories serves both the purposes. But if the directories are of high PR and high traffic, then you get a lot of targeted traffic; for e.g. ezine. Other directories are also good but traffic from them is less but anyway, you get the one way link...
