EzineArticles.com is still one of the best websites where you can submit your articles. =Web Agents Pro=
Publishing your articles on ezinearticles and on goarticles is your ticket in achieving first page rankings.
Another article submission site is http://ewagz.com I have been using them for a little while and working pretty good for me. They are currently pr3 and actually share the google ads on the article with me.
And what about articlebase.com ? I submit my articles on that site and get some traffic. I'll try goarticle and ezine.. as well.
I would post to buzzle first (they require unique articles), as they get you quite a lot of traffic and there is far less competition from other articles on this site. Then post to EZA, articlesbase and goarticles. Whenever I look at search results its these directories that seem to come up time and time again.
if you just want backlinks, you could use articlesbase, goarticles, ezine or just about any that have PR. If you're looking for incoming traffic because of your article submissions, I'd suggest ezine alone.
I have worked hard to SEO my articles directory (link in signature) its early days so I have no PR and not a huge amount of traffic (yet) but its growing so submitting some articles and getting some early backlinks within the site could be beneficial.
there many article submission out there... i have my own article submission site and you can get register for free but please read the submission guideline before submitting your article...at the moment, it has huge traffic and if your article want to be exposed more just go there and i am waiting for you... here is the site http://www.1stoparticle.com. this site is growing and growing...
Ezinearticles has been great for traffic for me. Goarticles has sent me a big 0 in referrals. Ezine is the best for traffic and link juice.
Unfortunately, searchwarp.com seem to have a vendetta against article writers linking out. Sure, I like writing, but if a site isn't willing to give ANY benefits to people supplying their knowledge or know-how why bother? Personally, I hate people who sensor in such a way. It limits the very principle of the interNET! SEO or not, article sites should assess content value based on audience response, not on the intention of the author.
We own a article-cum-classifieds submission site called http://www.articleant.com Our articles get ranked on search engines easily too apart from having a decent PR and growing ALEXA ranking. Here are some keywords' combination we rank for in Google: 1) Link Building Working Strategies 2) Key to a Stress Free Life 3) Building Self Esteem in Children 4) Acquiring Twitter Followers 5) Healthy Relationships In Marriage For Classifieds: 1) Job opportunity for UI designer These are some of the instances.
I use Gather and thefreelibrary besides Ezine.Gather is a networking site and allows readers to comment.
Problem with EZA is it can take about a week to get approved, but is the most popular article directories out there If you want a quick index and backlink, i would use articlebase, they will usually approve in 24 hours And i've also noticed buzzle, more and more in results!
I think the best sites are ezinearticles.com and articledashboard. you should also get your blog on wordpress or blogger.com
I would think that its best to stick with top authority sites since they tend to show up higher in Google.
This is a great & resourceful thread. Thank you everyone for sharing the article directories posted within this thread; there are quite a few that even I did not know of.
