Ok, I was just curious.... Have any of you submitted your blog articles to article directories? And do the links from those submissions carry much weight?
Hope I'm undestanding the question right... I've used articles as both blog entries and article submissions. The links should carry the same weight as any article would unless you trip some duplicate content filter. Change up the article a bit to avoid that. Hope that helps
Elle, are your articles tech related at all? If so, consider Digg.com. You aren't putting your article on another site, but you are getting your links out there and generating traffic to boot. Just a thought...
