    Hi there,

    I hope this is the best place for this thread.

    I am going to start submitting articles to ezine directories, & I realized there's all these companies out there who can do this for you.

    Do you guys know if:

    1. they are any good
    2. which one is the best
    3. what are the differences between them, etc.

    Thanks


    Michelle

    I just focus on ezine articles, I have never really submitted to anything else. I don't see the point in having duplicates of your article on 200 different directories

    You may want to check out SubmitEaze. It's $70 and is mainly used for directory submissions, but it also has a article submitter in it as well. It's worth the $70.

    For the first handfull of submissions I use iSnare (www.isnare.com) since it's very inexpensive at $2 an article. That's just when getting started but it will get your articles out there. The problem with this method (and any others that don't submit a unique article to each publihser) is that your articles are going to get hit by duplicate content penalty using this service.

    When really cranking up article marketing I build a list of publishers and submit directly to them using Artemis Pro (www.artemispro.com)... Which is only a one time payment to purchase the program and it will get around the dupe content filters much better _without_ creating garbage content that nobody can ready.

    I've posted articles on http://www.WriterDatabase.com since it's a newer directory and free to post. That way, once it gets bigger, I'll be in a position to really gain traffic big-time since I'm establishing myself as one of the top contributors now!

    I use Aricle Submitter. It works well for me. I submit to the 20 largest directories and I get nice traffic daily.

    Sorry, I don't understand.

    Who exactly is penalizing me? Google, or isnare?

    So some software inserts garbage into the posting? I'm not clear. I guess I'm really new to all of this :)

    Ok, maybe I'm not explaining myself properly.

    I want to post my articles to get traffic to my site & build up my PR.

    I wasn't planning on selling my articles, although I am looking for articles for some of my sites.

    So I guess my secondary question is, who has the best well written & edited articles for sale for the best price?

    Thanks


    Michelle

    It is Google who punishes you, not the article directory. If you write up an article and submit it to 200 directories, then Google will quickly notice that that content is appearing exactly the same all over the place - and regard it as spam. Then, if it is counted as duplicate content, that helps you none.

    You can use www.jetspinner.com to create different articles.

    I think there are two different conversations going on here.

    The first is a need for traffic using article/content marketing methods and submitting articles to multiple locations. This issue can be handled by using article submitters and we generally use articlemarketer.com, isnare.com is good too - then you need to also get your content onto blogs, forums, social communities too. Some of the other individual article submission locations mentioned in this thread are also good.

    Having said that, the second issue that is being discussed is whether or not this will have a adverse affect through google for "duplicate" content if a single article gets out to multiple locations. I think there is a difference in philosophies on this. Some say Google cannot completely decipher the difference as the page HTML structure is not the same, while others indicate that Google can. There is a thread at V7N forums talking about this as well here:
    v7n.com/forums/seo-forum/72735-google-duplicate-content-hoax.html

    If you have links coming from trustworthy websites then it will not be a problem.

    Ok, that's what I was thinking.

    So this is an ongoing debate I see.

    Do you use jetspinner to post your articles too, or just for the spin feature?

    Thanks

    I use Content Spooler Pro to make hundreds of unique articles and then use Aticle Post Robot to submit unique articles to each directory. Works a charm.

    Yes, but Article Post Robot has a module to accept Content Spooler Pro articles and to send each new article to a different directory.

    Hmmm then how could someone explain those news feeds distributed to millions of sites, they get to have the same content over and over again but then these news sites like CNN and etc... don't get penalized...

    Have you observed something? It is because all copies are pointing to the original.... in other words the copies or reprints includes a link to the original source... That is the reason why article marketing requires each and every publisher to include the authors bylines. pointing to the original author's site... in my opinion this is a two hit stone.. hitting search engines -- so they know who is the original.. hitting readers -- so they click to the author's site for more reading...

    Yes but even if they see that this is duplicate content I don't see why they would penalize them, why don't they penalize all this Press Release websites that have exact duplicates of Press Releases ... even all this article directories with duplicate content have not been penalized ...


    I think you have a valid point here
