Article Submission Links: More or Less

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Kaabi, May 20, 2007.

    In an article submission bio, is it better to have more links to your site or less? I've been putting two because I thought if I put more then it would devalue the other links somehow. You see, I have a link to my homepage, then I usually link to a deeper page, but what if I linked to my homepage and TWO deeper pages? I just thought that then the value of all the links would decrease. But if I'm wrong, well then, I've wasted a lot of potential power.

    I personally put as many links as the article directory allows. The value of the links may decrease, true. Now I'm no expert, but the way I see it is that individual page that has your article and resource box isn't going to have much weight for your links anyway, so might as well put as many of your links as you want. But generally I put 2 links, as this is the most ezinearticles.com allows, and also because I can only fit so much HTML coding into 500 characters (a standard limit)

    3 links shouldn't make much of a difference versus 2 links

    Only two links are allowed in maximum article directories.

    Write two articles. Then you've got FOUR freakin' links.

    I always use 3 links in my author bio. Most article directors only allow up to 3.

    As long as they are relevant, quantity does not matters :)

    Yeah EzineArticles allows 3. I have written many articles, so I submit them all and I do split up the links. But the question is, do your links get devalued or not? Apparently the answer is yes.
