Ok I've just got in to article marketing and my first article drew 400 views and got a page rank of 3 in a matter of days, I used my keyword at the bottom in a link back to my site. I assume I'm getting link juice. What happens if I submit articles on a regular basis. Aren't I correct that having one link from a site is better than hundreds? So In theory isn't the one article enough if I'm just after PR not CT's Also I often submit full articles from my site to multiple forums/article directories etc. I know this is dupe content but will my site get penalized? Thanks guys loving this place, not as pipe and slippers as the other webmaster forum lol.
Hey Skaterkee; I'm new here too, welcome! Yes, you are getting link juice, depending on the quality of the article site(s) you submitted to. Some will give you more link juice than others. Of course, you will also get the link juice that is passed from those who pick up and publish your article on their sites. There will be a duplication issue with those sites, also, depending how much other stuff they add to their pages to make them 'unique'. Depending on their TrustRank and PageRank, will determine your overall 'link juice' received from each site. Each link counts individually. The more articles you post at each article site, the more link juice you get from each of those sites, because it is each PAGE that passes link juice, and the relevancy of the page matters as well as the relevancy of the site it is on. For each article you submit, use the author credit to link to different inner pages you want to rank well, and link to them using the keywords you want to rank well for. EG: use the words 'blue widgets' to link to your blue widgets page. No, you cannot be 'penalized', but the duplicate articles carry much less weight - if any - than original ones. Try rewriting the articles from your site before you submit them, that way the idea is conveyed, but you don't have to worry about your main copy being duplicated - it is the most important. Use the links in your rewritten article bio credit to link to the 'real' article - again, using the main keywords of the article, or those you want to rank well for. Hope this helped!
thanks for the help, that is a weight off my mind, I'll continue to submit more articles if its the PAGE and not the SITE that passes the juice. I'm only using ezine articles because after seeing my article get a PR3 after just a few days I trust them and if they all get that then hundreds of PR3's is not bad ai. Most other article directories go to a PR0 when you hit the sub categories from what I've seen. It just hit me though, they aren't No-Follow are they?
Hey Skater; This is a duplicate response I just gave on another thread: Nofollow is BS. Comment on blogs, websites and even social networking sites even if they DO have nofollow - Eli from BlueHatSEO.com (very grey hat actually) had this to say in an interview by Aaron Wall of SEOBook.com Read the full interview of Eli by Aaron Wall here: seobook.com/interview-eli-blue-hat-seo-com (I'm new so can't do live links)
hi, actually if you use deep links in articles, you can submit more then 1 article. But if you point a single domain, then 1 is enough. In my opinion article directories improve your serps. Because your backlinks' IP spectrum will increase. Your site dont get penalized. because all articles point your pages. But article directories may get penalized, anyway this is not your problem. thx
If you are submitting articles to some really good article sites, you do not only think of the backlinks. There can be real people who read your articles and visit your site. Of course I will put both deep links and domain at the bottom of the articles.
I don't think it's a good idea to submit articles from your own site to other sites, at least not the exact same articles. You should re-write them enough to make sure that the search engines don't regard them as duplicates.
