Automatic Article Submission and Article Directories

If we ignore (better not to ignore) duplicate content, are the automatic article submission software/services any good?

It takes about 2 hours to cover 30 odd articles submissions.

I've list of about 33 odd good Article directory list are there any more?

Does anyone have a quick like to any post where I can get list of Article Directories?

 

The best way to to manually submit to the top five sites.

 

And the top 5 would be?

 

yes, would like to know what the top 5 are. Don't take two hours to do the submissions yourself..outsource..

 

http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.goarticles.com
http://articledepot.co.uk
http://www.hubpages.com

case in point, my site is getting almost as much traffic from a single article i wrote on ezine as I am from google search results. (my site has been live < 10 days). 350+ referrals from ezine, 400 from google.

 

5 ) articledashboard.com
6) ArticleGold.com

there are Many very good Article Directories are available in Directorycritic site.

You can find minimum 50 quality sites and submit your articles with quality content.

Check out the thread in my sig it might interest you. Blog networks would be a good place for you to go to submit your articles. There are tons of these blog networks (mine included) in the buy/sell section of this forum.

2 hours for 30 articles is pretty rough.

 

thanks for the top 5 article directories.

 

Manual article submissions are better I use this company to spin my articles to
create unique versions and they manually submit the articles for me.

submit your article

 

I personally just use a few. No sense sending it out to hundreds of sites, unless each article is unique.

 

Going to check out the top 5 article sites, thanks for the urls.

 

Thanks for that list. Just wondered, why is manual submission better? Also can you track the articles as in, do you know where they are published and can you find out how much traffic you are getting?

 

Is this enough to have just 6 directories?

 

Web Money,

Great question. I think you should start off with the top 5 and evaluate the impact it has on your business. E-zine for instance provides great feedback on the status of your articles - Who has read it, how many used the backlink to visit your site, etc. This is a good start. If you find other directories that are specific to your niche topic, those might be good too in marketing your business. Hope this helps! Shawn

 

hey I'm interested in this service, can I pay by paypal? THanks!

 

Article submission is worthless.
Just publish your article on your own website, you will get good results through it.

 

I thought you would come up with some hidden treasures
yeh they are already in top of my list.

Regarding traffic from ezine, yes I also see some good results from there but not to come anywhere close to Google traffic?

Mind sharing this trick too if it comes free ?
