Is article submission the new way of doing link directories? I have noticed a rather large increase in article submission sites and that sort of thing and link directories seem to be taking a back seat. That coupled with google trying to stop people paying for links leads me to this question. Thanks for any info? I understand that most of you will say both but if you had to pick.
If I had to pick only one I would choose directory submission. I realize that articles are much quicker and effective, but it just so happens that I have very good resources to directory submission and can really get a great payback for the effort I put in it.
The advantage I see to article submission over directories is it's far easier to garner links to interior pages with articles. But I like both.
From Article Submission you can get backlinks as well as traffic.From directory submission u can get backlink. Thankz
The problem with directory submissions is theres no content... With articles there is relevant content plus at least 2 or 3 links... Plus, how many people actually visit directories and browse links? I know I dont.
Is article submission the new way of doing link directories? Not a new way.. You need to do both.. I do not think directory submissions are as effective as article submissions.. Thanks
i think both of them are important. directory links and article links have different weigth for the serp. having both of there is better
I feel that article submissions - if used wisely - are the better option between the two. I do see a lot of traffic coming to my websites from article submissions but I have rarely ever seen any traffic from a directory.
Articles are the best way to promote your services. A best written article will send you load of potential targeted traffic while improving your link popularity. Submit your article to the best article directories on the net manually according to the submission guidelines. An example of the success of article is at http://ezinearticles.com/?Help-to-Reduce-Belly-Fat&id=6628 This particular article has been viewed about 100,000 times and if a minimum of 50% of the visitors have clicked the link, the site would have got 50,000 visitors from ezinearticles.com alone. There are 100’s of other directories like ezinearticles.com where you can submit the article and drive more visitors to the site.
Is it ok for Google to see one and the same article submitted to 200 sites with the link to a single url? Is it not viewed as duplicating content? Thanks.
i don't think it's possible to have 50% of the visitors to click your resource box link. Maybe 10-20% is the most realistic numbers.
Directory submission and article submission both are imp in SERP, but articles submission are gives u good traffic and visitor then directory's.
Directory submission is best but, Article submission is more important to get content related link & traffic.
For me it’s always article submission, it give you traffic, back links, and if your article is picked by some good site in your niche then it will improve your trust rank also.
Article submission is very easy, just insert your anchor links to your specific keyword pages and your ready to go.
