Now a days Google doesn't give much more importance for Article submission. I have submitted articles to more number of sites. But it doesn't appear in backlinks (inbound links). Is article submission is worth?
In my opinion you can go for guest blogging on hIGH pR DOFOLLOW blogs rather than article submission..
Please submit in below article directories. http://www.promotionworld.com http://www.articlesnatch.com http://ezinearticles.com http://www.articleshow.com/ http://www.goarticles.com/ http://www.isnare.com http://www.articlecity.com/article_submission.shtml http://www.articledashboard.com
Article Submission is still very important, please check for do_follow tag for the anchor texts while posting articles. A lot of sites dont allow back links. Also Google does not show all back links however Yahoo will show the links coming from article sites.
Noway its totally wrong. Article submission helps a lot for getting traffic and also for building backlinks.
Article submission still works if that conducted in a proper way.You cant submit the same article in multiple directories any more after panda update.So submit quality articles in high pr directories and I hope it will work.
Over the internet there are millions of Article sites and other Submission sites but it should always be in mind that the sites in which you are submitting has a good Page Rank and its do follow sites. Sometimes if anyone puts duplicate content or copy it from other relevant sites or blogs or what so ever then Google doesn't show any back links rather discard it for being duplicate content.
You just submit your article to do follow and high pr article directories. Make sure your bookmark and ping your article's live web page.
submitting low quality or spun articles to hundreds article directories doesn't work especially after the new Panda update of google, what really works is guest posting on authority blogs on your niche, it might be a little more difficult to write quality articles that bloggers will like to publish but it can do wonders, not only you will get high quality contextual back links but you will get targeted traffic too and most importantly if you guest post regularly you will establish yourself as an expert on your field...
Hey... I will chose to be with scholarsjunction! Neither Google, nor Yahoo, Bing or any other SEs have made any official declaration about banning Article submission. The news that have been overwhelming the web about (Google doesn't give much more importance for Article Submission) is just a false propaganda - a hoax. Google's Panda updates demands you to write good, hard hitting - informative, original (non plagiarized) stuff. Not just putting a single article to 100 article directories. Had I been Google, I would have done the same thing what Google did - demeaning the duplicate and thin content. Remember that Web is a media - the strongest media and information out there should be of high quality. I can understand that vna1611 wanted to say that Google has never said that it doesn't give much more importance for Article Submission. But again I would choose to differ from her. Only article marketing can not be a tool to get you on the top of the show. There should be lottsa other stuff like clean coding, good on-page, SE friendly site anatomy etc. + off deal of clean off-page merge together to give a boost to a website's rankings.
Thanks a lot to Indiadesign for sharing this nice article lists..I do not think article submissions are dead..You should check out high pr articles sites who give the do follow backlinks..
I understand that article marketing has taken a major hit by the recent Google panda update, but I still believe that article marketing can still be effective. If you want to see genuine result from it, you would have to submit only unique article upon each submission which can be very time consuming to keep rewriting those articles over and over again. Google is more interested in quality content. When submitting those articles, they have to be submitted trough reputable article directories.
No any type prove anywhere that "Google doesn't give much more importance for Article submission" its fake news if any, Google always give preference those sites which have good and quality content, informative and relevant sites article submission etc.
particularly i do not think that the articles submission is dead now it is still working to catch links, some times not but actually it works.
