Where to post my articles?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by webbusiness23, Jul 20, 2010.

    One of the SEO methods is creating articles which contain a link to your mother-site.

    What is best to do (after i created the article) and why:

    1. To put the article on my own blog?

    2. To put the article on an article site (e.g. ezinearticles)?

    State your opinion and give me some arguments.

    Do it both but rewrite it and modify it! Ezine is the top article directory and if your article is close related to your niche, probably will rank high your site. My suggestion is one article rewrite and modify three times and one set on your blog and other two on article directories, one on ezine and third one to Goarticles.com!

    If you have good quality articles you MUST post that on your blog. That's investing for future. Your content is what you represent, and high serp leading to poor content means nothing.

    Other than that, like gox said, rewrite them and post to maximum 20-25 quality directories. Do not post many articles into the one same article directory. That will be more links from a single domain and not worth your time. It's like site wide footer link. You can make 3-4 per directory, but if you want deep linking but not too much.

    Now, article directories... I done that for many of my clients, let's say some kind of article submission package (15 dirs) and here is where I submit articles for my clients:

    1. Ezine
    Everybody knows it's the best place. Be careful, no more than 2% keyword density. And correct grammar/spelling...

    2. IdeaMarketers
    Instant approval but still good quality

    3. GoArticles
    Also instant approval (they dont accept free email accounts)

    4. articlesbase
    nofollow but strong directory with fast syndication and sharing of your articles... not so good for SEO but you'll have some traffic

    Amazines, ArticleRich, ArticleAlley,ArticlesFactory, Articleslach, ArticleDashboard, SooperArticles, ArticleTrader...

    Get tired of writing in numbers :p

    That are all good directories, for some of them you'll need to wait more (ArticleTrader sometimes a month)... Some of articles got higher positions that websites I was paid to submit :p Like SooperArticles :)

    All of them are PR3 or more... And probably forgot some of them, There are about 20-25 directories with some seo weight. But still, that's a cheap link building and you cant expect magic :)

    For low and medium competitive niches, useful to give a slight improvement :)

    http://www.directorycritic.com/article-directory-list.html

    Directory critic has a good list of ranked article directories at the link above.
    I would suggest putting a the original content on your blog first, and then cutting it down and changing it slightly before putting it out to other places.

    I believe second option that is "To put the article on an article site" is more relevant than first one. It will give you back link from High PR sites and the backlink will be be keyword rich which is again very important.

    If you can write more than also go for 1st option.

    Google like links through different sources. means if you have created links through different sources/domains, you can more easily get SERP. So, you must perform both the methods. Write articles and post in different article sites and also write blog posts for your blog.

    Depends if you plan on building an authority website. If yes, then hosting on your own blog can be the most beneficial, but if you are more interested in Search Engine traffic then submitting / syndicating it out for proper anchor text back link is your best method.

    I agree with gox1971. But there are also other good article directories such as articlebase, articleblast, amazines, articlesfactory etc where you can submit your articles..

    Ezine article is a Authority site the link which yu will get from ezine it will very helpfull for yoru site beside on the ezine they are getting huge visitors in a day there are possibility your article will see many peopel in a day and interested peopel will visit your site. If you post article on your site you will not get authority back link for your site and new blog hardly few people visit in a day

    Hi! If you can write quick articles, why not do both? 1st you get to attract google to crawl you again because you have something fresh on your site. 2nd you get to have back links from other ezine sites. :)

    Put it on your site first and let google index it. Google will then see you as the authority. After that add it to other article sites. If you do it the other way around you risk getting blacklisted on google.

    That's just bad and wrong information, sorry.

    You can't hurt your site one bit, by submitting to hundreds or thousands of directories. Google does not punish you for incoming links,except in very rare cases, but for your outgoing links.

    As for where to submit your article, I would do it in this order:

    Post on blog
    Rewrite and submit to EzineArticles
    Spin and submit to top 25 or so article directories
    Submit to blog networks, SEOLinkvine, AMA, UAW etc
    Make Web 2.0 properties

    Get the most out of your article!

    ^^ I'm not so sure. Getting a ton of low quality links for a new site can definitely sets off alarm bells with google from my experience.

    if you want to have exposure for your articles,then you must put it on your blog and article submission sites.both are ways to promote your articles.
