As part of our SEO efforts we are devoting a lot of time in creaing articles. These are submitted on our site and on article submission sites. We have a commercial likbuilding partner who also write articles for us and submit them to article websites (I think they are free submissions). There are two reaons we are writing articles. 1) To aquire more incoming one way links 2) To aquire more traffic We are only temporarily using a linkbuilding partner and wish to carry out the rest in house. Each article our partner submits generally provides about 20 incoming links from different websites. Q1a) Are they likely to be using automated software to do this and if so, Q1b)is this a bad thing? Q1c) If this is ok, what kind of software does this? Q2) Is it ok to share article with free submssion sites, providing google indexes them first on our site? - that is what we have been doing. Thanks for any help, Joe
It's hard to tell if they're using an article submission program or not. It wouldn't matter if they were though, as it just speeds up the process, but doesn't hurt the value of submitting articles. So, no, it's not a bad thing. You could check out www.linksubmitter.com . Another one is www.articlesubmitterpro.com . Duplicant content can be an issue, but mostly you're looking to gain visitors. I'm not sure what type of business model you have, so it's a little hard to say, but generally, it's not a bad thing to post at a article submission site and then post that same article on your own site.
Hi - thanks for the quick reply, it was very useful!! BTW - you first linksubmitter url does not work cheers, joe
Hey Joe... To be honest, since Big Daddy, you wont get OWBL (one way back links) love from Goo with article marketing from what I have seen. I am sure some minor weighting is involved, but not in the traditional OWBL building sense. On the dupe content worries, I never advise publishing the articles on your own site. Create articles strictly for expert/marketing programs. Then have unique articles/content on your site. Software, I know of no completely automated applications. The AS Pro, is kind of 'semi-automated' and is the preferred method to ensure quality postings. This will also allow you to vary the link text for further Big Daddy compliance
After some research there appears to be three leading suppliers that I can see. Two CD resources and one online. Two CD Suppliers http://www.articleannouncer.com/ http://www.articlesubmitterpro.com/ Online http://www.articlemarketer.com Here is quite a good review (not sure how biased it is): http://niche-website.blogspot.com/2005/08/submit-articles-3-killer-products.html http://www.articlesubmitterpro.com/ is another CD option Other online possibilitie include: http://www.isnare.com/distribution.php http://www.submityourarticle.com/main.php http://www.isnare.com/pbenefits.php http://thephantomwriters.com/x.pl/tpw/info/distribution/purchase.html Article Announcer seems to get some good feedback, it is a little procey at $379. Although I am most put of by the TACKY website.... it's so out of date, low quality and just seems like a scam. Even with good reviews I am not sure I can justify the money, due to how the websites low quality and scam image. Anyone with any advice please?
Well I have also used an automated software for submitting my articles to the article sites but I can say that they are useless use it by hand or hire someone for it. Akash Kumar
As far as the dup content and adding your own articles to your site, plus submitting the same articles--- You could submit a partial article and then add to read more visit :your website (for the full article)
What a useless comment. I use an article submitter and it works fine, why would I want to download another? If you have had negative experience then why not share it with the rest of the forum?
Using it whats the benefit? you have to submit your articles to all the sites one by one and many of the sites included in it are just useless. Akash Kumar
Ya thats why I dont waste much time on writing articles, I generally prefer posting in forums this is the best way I find to generate quality incoming links. Akash Kumar
The thread is about automated submission, that means you don't submit the articles to each site on by one. You press the button and it is posted to hundreds of sites in about 10 minutes. How is that useless?
