Hi guys For a while now I have been article marketing, writing articles, placing them on various sites with links back to my main site. However. Do you think it would now be better (after Panda) to have this content actually on the site? - And then linked to the page I'm aiming for? Any thoughts would be very welcome.
Article submission software in recent years have been emerging as a tool to replace manual submission.The best article directories are opposed to Automated Submissions and it is considered to be a SPAM. No automated software or service can take into account the above differences of article directories and submit to the article directories.
If you really posting unique articles, it will definitely helps to increase traffic, but you need to do social bookmarking for those articles for quick traffic.
Yes, when you publish the same article on multiple article sites it will consider article duplication so we need to spin the article or rewrite it..
You are going to make sure you set your content on your main website and once it is optimized leave it alone. As for constantly adding articles it is best to add these to your blogs/social network. This is what Panda is currently suggesting as well. Matt Cutts stated that if you have very good optimized and unique website content on your site already then leave it that way and don't change it, instead leave that up to your social networks and post the information there as this is the information that would usually be "updated" or "flowing". Your social network if build and engaged properly will drive traffic from those articles to your main site.
