And overall, geeks, I don't want to know what seo techniques we can use to improve ranks or the list seo techniques for good rank. But, I only need your suggestion, if we drop directory, and article submission. What are the impacts on sites rank or SERP. ? if you don't know, Try, for your clients, Don't do directry submission and article submission in first first do bookmarking, then forum posting, then RSS. Thats it, and see the result Just do research. thats it only. So what says geeks.
I think the order is this: directories submissions social networking&bookmarking blog posting&forum posting paid ads About article submission, why dropping it? If you have the expertise to write something unique and helpful why wouldn't you submit some of your articles? They are good traffic drivers if submitted to digg,mix,reddit etc
