Hey I have been thinking about article syndication, we know that the search engines value links from unique domains .. right If you submit an article through a good syndication company that gets the article accepted to all the worthwhile directories, then is there any point is doing long term article syndication campaigns targeting the same keyword and url ? The arguement of single links vs sitewide links is ongoing but submitting large amounts of articles does not produce sitewide links but lots of links from the same domain ..... Obviously you do get residual links from other sites using your content, but the majority of those are really crappy very low pr sites, normally automated mfa sites. I think it would be a situation like the law of diminishing returns, as you add more articles the return per additional article decreases to a point were it becomes uneconomical to submit anymore - would be good to know what the break even point is ?
Although your concept is interesting, I must ask a question. When the article is archived to a "Nofollow" directory, how does the link pass page rank or even count as a link?
A good point, it would become worthless from a link popularity perspective, but if you chose a good title it may still show up under certain keyword terms ... Do we know how many article directories archive off article to a nofollow section ?
