Article Directory Owners Should Read This

    I haven't owned an article directory in over a year but when I did, I realized early on that the success of the directory had a lot to do with the number of active articles I had. You can of course buy databases fairly easily these days but chances are with how much prices have come down, they have already been used 100's of times.

    One thing I did early on was to partner with iSnare. They are basically an online version of article announcer with the difference being they have the permission of every article directory owner to give them articles. I think back in those days I was getting around 40-50 high quality submissions a day.

    Anyway, I thought I would share that with DP as I think its a great way to boost your article directory. I don't gain anything by people doing this other then the fact that I use iSnare to submit my articles these days rather then submitting to individual directories (which means if you are new, you may be missing out on the 40-50 articles a week I submit alone ;) )

    So you can contact Glenn from iSnare here:
    http://www.isnare.com/contact.php
    and he can set it up for you (Its obviously free or I wouldn't post about it)

    If you haven't heard of iSnare at this stage they have an FAQ- Also here are a few of their current partners out of the 100+:

    ArticleCity.com
    hotlib.com

    Good luck, be sure to report back on what you thought of it. I was actually contacted by them so I don't know what the process is like when you use their contact form.

    I am on isnare distribution list for a little over a year. So far their submission has been consistently 50+ articles a day, and the quality of articles are at least average or above par. I havent find the need to reject any of their submission so far (except due to duplicates). I would also recommend them to AD owners, and even to authors for their good distribution service.

    If anybody wants to add my http://articles.simplysearch4it.com to their article distribution list then I am happy to accept the articles. This site is amongst the top article directories sites and has been online for well over a year. So it is not one of those new article directory sites. I started this before the article directory sites explosion.

    I approve article submissions on a daily basis aswell and am ranked very well in the major search engines.

    I use to have a image verification security script on my submission forms, but have now taken them of the submission forms today and will be leaving them off if everything goes well.

    I and the rest of my team are looking forward to the extra article submissions.

    Is it possible to use two or more article submission services, for directory? Does it bring me to the point, that I'm going to get the same articles from different services?

    Yes its possible and in fact many directory owners are doing that. But again you have to make sure you are able to cope with the amount new articles coming in, and you have the facility to quickly filter out those duplicates.

    Yes it's possible, and it's a pain specially if you don't filter (approve/disapprove) your articles.

    But you know what, I just thought. All articles submitted on our directories are likely duplicates anyway! Right? :)

    Yeah, but duplicate articles in different article directories is much different than your directory actually having 2 or 3 copies of the same article.

    It is best not to allow this as you will be having duplicate pages on the same domain name.
