    I have a question regarding article submission…

    Suppose I have my one article, and if I submit the same article in 500 different article submission directories, so is there any disadvantage with this, because it will create 500 same pages with same content on the internet and i think it might be count spamming… so I am confused…

    I just wanted to know that; is there any disadvantages or advantages with this kind of article submission?

    Can I submit one article in 500 different article submission directories?

    Is it ok to do the same, or should not do this….please let me know… Thanks. :)

    The advantage of submitting to many article directories is you have a better chance that someone likes your article and posts it on their website. Therefore you may get more traffic. In fact, they may like your site so much that they link to it.

    The disadvantage is not really a disadvantage, but a filter by the search engines will screen out dupes, therefore not really boosting your SERP as much is they were unique articles.

    I kinda suck at SEO, but that's what I know.

    P.S.- If you publish an article, make sure it's not one you want on your site because you may not get any SERP juice from the article on your site.

    i think google will ignore most of those 500 articles but you will get some backlinks from them

    I don't think it is a disadvantage. If you are only thinking of backlinks then submitting it 10 directories will be good enough. Remember to include ezinearticles as one of them.

    But I think the branding power of article marketing should be more than just backlinks.

    Do not be under the impression that submission of one article to 500 article directories will lead to 500 back links. Only some may show up finally. I prefer submitting the article on my own site rather than submission to the article directories. We are helping these directories to become stronger, instead why not place the article in our site.

    The internet is filled with duplicate content. Trust me your article won't make a big difference.

    I think you should make sure that the article is unique and article submission to 500 odd directories will not create spam.

    You have a point but it's better to submit articles when your site is new. When you have low visitor rate then theres no use to keep those articles to few hundred people.


    =--=-==-==-=-=-

    Oh also wanted to ask that is there a chance that if I submit articles right after adding it to my webpage to social bookmarking sites that the google crawls SB first and indexes it and then crawls my site and sees duplicated content ?

    He does somewhat have a point, however one article will not make much difference although submitting one article will make the competition stronger, and yes article directories are obviously competition to most informative websites no matter what the particular interests of your website are i doubt we can single handily make a difference.

    If we was to issue a rebellion against article directories then fair does, but being realistic that is not going to happen :)

    Will.

    It seems the big advantage to article submission is building a reputation and potentially a following.

    If your writing is good, the extra exposure gets people to visit your website.

    If you are talking about a duplicate content penalty, that seems to be more of a Google thing than anything else.

    I wouldn't worry too much about article submission unless you are fixated on Google SERPs.

    Your welcome. You will not develop many backlinks because the search engines will filter out the duplicates. The only way to really obtain the backlinks is having 500 unique articles i.e. different ones.

    The mass article submission will be a benefit to traffic for your site. If you get visitors and they like your site and they are webmasters, they may give you a free link. Many times they will post your article, but again it's not backlinks that you will receive that will boost your serp, but rather traffic.

    I don't think the search engines are perfect, so you may get some credited backlinks from more than one article with a 500 article submission.

    Don't post the same article's on your website. Submit special written articles that are not published on your site. As many original articles the better... and so on.

    Top SEO,

    It's kind of funny you have Top SEO India as your DP Name and asking these questions. I'm guessing you're thinking for the future and eventually will learn SEO and market it (not sure though).

    I don't purport to be an SEO expert and really have only been into optimizing sites this year. I think I'm doing OK, but in no way am I an expert and can only tell you what I have learned from DP, the net and my own experience.

    The 1st thing is what are you marketing and how competitive is your niche. If it's super competitive, don't expect for Google to rank you high for your keywords very quickly. Are you trying to make income from selling your own things or are you into affiliates and adsense.

    There are many ways to drive traffic to your site such as PPC, getting good SERP or even purchasing traffic. If you purchase traffic, you need to check out Googles TOS for Adsense (assuming you are using Adsense), because they can ban you for invalid impressions or clicks. So it's not very safe to do this for Adsense sites.

    The PPC such as Adwords can be a good way to drive traffic, but it's not in my budget to do this.

    Getting good SERP probably the least expensive, but is very time consuming and can take years for a competitive niche. Look into posts here at DP and do some searches how to increase your SERP. Backlinks, on page optimization are probably the major factors as well as age of the domain. There are many methods to get backlinks including article submission, directories, social bookmarks and link exchanges. Also linkbaiting can help here as well.

    10000 uniques a month can be done, just use one of the methods described and plan on working hard! I'm sure the SEO experts out there can really help with your question! Good Luck!

    Very interesting topic, so to sum up what have said earlier, submit articles to article directories, which will create backlinks and have unique articles on your site.

    On average in your experience how many uniques a single article can generate. I know the question is very broad but webmasters here might have noticed some sort of numbers. Also i see lot of people using rewriting software which pass copyscape is this strategy have any affect on traffic?

    It really depends. If your articles has great content but boring headline it can generate low uniques but on the same time if you have great headline and boring content it may generate much more visitors. And I think one major factor is also the time when you submit the articles or is it ?
