I've noticed that one of my competitor is submitting articles to sites like these: - dandelionbooks.net - pantspress.net - art777.org But I can't see how to submit my articles, there's no submit page or anything. So I guess it must be some kind of automated tool... Anybody know how to submit to those sites (what tool he might be using)?
these sites could simply be where other people copy n past articles over, this has happened to me with a few of my articles that i post on ezine and articlebase and a few days later they would appear on random blogs
They are wordpress sites so either: 1. your competitor owns them and is creating/scraping the content. 2. They are autoblogs pulling in the content from rss feeds from other article directories 3. They are part of a blog network that you have to pay to join
YUP.. I agree here. I just think you need not to worry about where your competitors submit their articles and concentrate more on building "Authority Type Backlinks". Is this competitor out ranking you for anything in particular?
They look like autoblogs to me. The good thing is that, unless your competitor owns them, they should pick up your content the same way they pick up his if you get your articles to the same source
They are not any free article directories so you can't submit on those using submit link and all that, but they are wordpress sites or you need to contact them and pay some for getting listed on those site.
