Can someone tell me the advantages of one over another or their differences for SEO purpose (backlinks/anchor text links etc.)? Thanks,
submitting an article will surely get you more back links as compared to a single blog post as people keep scraping it and keep adding your article to thier pages so more chances of getting more inlinks. In my openion both are good and should concentrate equally on them and both are good as opposed to buying links on the side bar the links in blog posts and articles have more weight but also depends what domain they are from .
I am new to both. Can you post an article as a blog and then submit it to an article submission directory for distribution? Do they allow backlinks in the article? I read somewhere that html or links are not allowed in articles. Thanks,
A few directories allow links within articles, most don't, instead you get a link in the 'authour resource box'. As to posting your article in a blog and an article directory you can do both ... but a few article directories give priority to articles that have not been published elsewhere.

there is no question to ask which is better .. you should use both practices .. both help , so why not try both ?
it is alot of work. What you should do is post to ezinearticles and then buy articlepostrobot and post every article. doing these two things is all the "article" promotion you need, than you can focus on more writing!
Lol send someone like $10 to do it. That's what I'd do with some teenager I pull up fromt he web - hah.
In some cases a blog might get you backlinks faster than article writing, too. Really, both would be good.
Yes it is hard work, but of course, if it was easy everyone would do it! All aspects of site promotion are hard work - you either have to put in the time and effort or the $$ there is no way out of it.
Great information. Thanks to all. I created an account on blooger.com. I could not find a way to add website url in signature and I am still exploring. Any suggestions for a good blog site that allows url in signature, meta tags for each blog and easy customization? Thanks,
yep right money makes life easy .. hire some cheap labour like home moms who can do this low skilled job for you .
The thing I like about blogs is you can do unlimited anchor links in the content. I also will post portions of my articles in forums related to the industry or topic I'm writing about. If the forum will let me, I only post a bit of the article and then create a link taking visitors to my site or blog. This has worked well for me - any feedback would be appreciated. ezinearticles, goarticles, isnare and articlecity are the article submissions I use but will look at the others that were posted earlier.
