    Hi,

    I attended a webinar and the speaker said that Google has devaluate backlinks coming from Article directories.
    Is that true, do you have any references that state it?

    thanks,
    Samuel

    As far as i know, google does not devaluate backlinks from article directory. But it may not give high value to backlinks coming from small article directories when compared to those coming from top article directories like ezinearticles.com

    Hi,

    yes, It's depend on article directory. If your backlinks coming from high PR Article directories like ezinearticle,goarticle.. then google gives more value compared to backlinks coming from low pr article directories.

    Well, I won't say that you heard anything wrong. It might be actually right.

    With article marketing reaching the point of spamming, it CAN happen.

    But blog commenting, forum posting and social media are still counted highly

    Hi
    I think Google gives good value of article directory. Google like fresh and unique content. I think articles are the one of the best thing which can give you that thing. So there is no way that google devaluate article links.

    Thanks guys for your opinion.

    I do expect Google does not devaluate it because I've purchased article submitter.

    Cheers

    If you are submitting your article to high pr article directory then there is absolutely no problem, but there are many crappy sites growing at faster rates and there is no importance have a link from there.

    Look for the article websites who are indexed well in the search engine, and then submit your articles on them.
