SEO tips about article directory submission

    Hello,

    I wrote a few dating articles and want to submit to some article directories. These directories have categories like this:

    relationship/dating

    Where dating is a sub-category of relationship.

    Which category should I submit? Is it better to submit to Parent category (Relationship) or is it better to submit to sub-category (Dating)? In terms of SEO.

    Thanks.
    Jenny.

    Submit to deepmost category, for articles it's the actual article page that matters and it's going to be a new page anyway.

    You should concentrate on more relevant category - "Dating" in your case.

    I've always posted in super specific categories. The directory owners would love you for it. It has higher chances of your article actually being approved. imo

    I think you must choose the sub-category, sometimes article directories don't permit submitting on the parent category...

    Here is a simple guide:
    If dating is the category of your website, submit to dating category.
    If dating category is not available, try to submit to relationship category (if available in the list of category)

    Hi,

    Of course, It would be better to submit in Dating category coz u have written articles specific on dating subject. And, as fr@nc!z said if dating category is not there, you should go with Relationship category.

    What are other ways?

    I learned from this forum that Article submission and directory submission are best for SEO.

    Yes, I agree. Don't just submit to the deepest category, more important is you submit to the most relevant category, which in your case is dating.
