Free Article directories

    Hey all!

    I need content for my website. I know there are free article directories which allow articles to be published anywhere. But many of these directories needs to have a link back to their home page for example: "Article Source: article directory home page". Can someone here suggest article directories which doesn't need a link back to their home page when we publish articles on our website/blog. Having a author bio is OK.

    Hope someone can help me!

    Search for directory critic, and that lists the top article directories. Also there are some article directory search engines around that will help you find the best ones optimised for your content.

    while getting articles for directories can be good, you need to be careful that your site doesn't get penalized for duplicate content. If you have copied an article from say articlebase.com, then you can be sure that hundreds if not thousands of others have done the same.

    there are lots of article directories that doesn't require that, use directory critic I've been using that for a long time and it didn't ask any link back.

    Great! I have visited Directory Critic. But, there are hundreds of article directories listed, so can you provide a list of free article directories that doesn't require a link back while using on our website/blog?

    I require this urgently. Please help!

    Thanks a bunch.

    I do use the list on directory critic. Those are trusted enough to submit your articles for site promotion

    What is the big deal about an article directory requiring a link back. You have to provide a link back to the author at any rate, so why are you not willing to provide a link back to the directory?

    Probably if you explain why, one would understand and be able to guide you further.

    If you are concerned about backlinks, why not use wordpress.com etc?
