I'm looking for some powerful authority article directors. Exclude Ezinearticles, Hubpages, Squidoo, and Buzzle please. Don't include junky directories like Goarticles. Sorry, they're junk. Also need dofollow.
mmmm... okay. Want to do a test then? I have results from nofollow links, I also know of many other people who have results from no follow links. It doesn't make a difference, the REAL difference is that nofollow won't allow googlebot to crawl your site from whichever site it is linked from. The reason people think dofollow links are the only ones that work, is because if there is fresh content and they read the anchor, its a point in addition to new content on your site, since the spider crawled. I would also like to point out dofollow is not real. It is just regular settings, no need for a dofollow tag. Let's say that I'm wrong, and you only go for "dofollow" links. Your results are hurting because of unnatural activity in the eyes of google. You should have both, just like you should have high pr links and low pr links, blog comments, forum sigs, profiles, etc. So please, keep your OS installed, and do some research and actual testing before you try to start a flame war.
Your just here to collect backlinks. I didn't ask your opinion on nofollow links. I just wanted article directories and I don't wanna argue about this one. I'm busy at the moment anyways. What I'm doing is black hat anyways so it doesn't matter, lol. Just kidding. Or am I?
Isn't everyone here to collect backlinks, why don't you remove the links in your signature? You didn't want to argue, but you try to flame me when you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You want article directories? Go search google or search the millions of posts previously made on THIS site by using the search button.
if you consider goarticles as junk, then aside from eza and buzzle, there arent many left. squidoo and hubpages are not article directories but web 2.0 sites
First of all "nofollow" links don't pass Pagerank or anchor text. This was officially stated by Google and webmasters have no reason not to believe them. Can they do other things? Maybe. You have no evidence to support that claim. If you did then show it. In fact if you did then that piece of information would go viral in a heartbeat and probably draw you a bunch of traffic. Second if you're posting on the forums for backlinks for SEO purposes then you're not making money. As an experienced webmaster I automatically know that's a sign of a noob. Which is no problem but don't act like you know everything when you have no earnings. Third the reason the links are in my signature are to solicity links from other webmasters as you can tell. Why I visit forums is to network with other webmasters. SInce one of the best ways to get backlinks to my website is by letting other webmasters know my website is there. Fourth, not everyone is here to collect backlinks. That statement only proves your shortsidedness and the fact that you're speaking for everyone here is ridiculous. If you look at the majority of the posts I make they are at least 150 words. I don't post short excerpts that are absolute garbage. Remind you, "It doens't matter if they nofollow... they still give points." What points exactly? Pagerank? Wrong. Let's see some sources.
Typically I write articles on Ezinearticles that are around 1000 words in length. Almost 90% of the time I can always get on the first/ second page of a 1000 search/month keyword with Ezine. That's the power of the Ezinearticle domain. We all know the reason right? Since Ezinearticles has a AWESOME system of quality control that Google just loves. I was basically looking for the same effect with other websites that allow user submitted content with dofollow links. In my experience Goarticle articles are no where near the first page. Squidoo has a hard time of ranking now. They need a system of quality control. Hubpages, I don't like the idea of my link maybe going "nofollow" in the future. Buzzle I think is gaining some respect. I've noticed them on the second/ first page alot for keywords. Other than that I don't know...
So you're a noob since you're posting on forums? Take the back links out of your signature then. Most of what I have seen from you, is garbage in fact, and you really have no idea about half the subjects you post in. You think posting in forums will get no money. I get about $500 a week from just basic web design work from posters on WF. http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense...m/311829-wow-no-follow-links-really-work.html - a post from a friend about his results. Links are links, and forums that don't have the nofollow rule, definitely do help. I've had results on multiple sites with just forums, I've had results with nofollow blogs. Google has never said anything about nofollow links having nothing to do with page rank. Do no follow links pass link juice, is a different matter, does it still count as a link in the google algorithm? Yes. Does it pass link juice if you are link wheeling? Maybe not. In fact, I could probably get a site ranked within a month with just nofollow links. It takes a lot more effort but it isn't useless. 1,000 links that are not nofollow, yeah they help. 1,000 links to your site, that have no nofollow links, flags you and you will be penalized for unnatural activity.
the OP posted this on another forum as well, with less results. But I'll say the same thing as I said there. GO FIND THEM YOURSELF. How hard is it to do a simple Google search. I have dedicated months to article submissions, and have a massive list of over a hundred, in order from the best to the worse. I won't share them though, as I found them just as you can if you are willing, through google searches. I just researched and found many lists, checked each site and chose the best ones. I usually only post to the ones with an Alexa rank of less than 10,000 though. I can positively say from my personal experience that goarticles.com is not junk (though not that great and definitely not my first choice). I have articles from two articles directories, one of which is articleolive.com, with an Alexa rank of over a million and PR 0 that have been on google's first page for over a month now for a moderately competitive keyword, whereas some of my articles for the same keyword on much better ranked sites are many pages back. I don't know how to explain it, but it is so. Another point I'd like to make is about ezinearticles.com. They may be one of the best sites, but they can still be picky with your choice of keyword and link. I rarely post to ezinearticles anymore because it takes too long to get published. There is one site I love the most. I recently posted an article, within a day it's on the FIRST PLACE on google, with over 13 million search results for that keyword. Ezinearticles has never done that for me yet. Also, I don't know so much about nofollow, though I do believe there is a lot of myth surrounding it. All I know is that I have gotten my article from articlebase (which is nofollow, but high ranking) on my first page of Google for my certain search term. It may not count as a backlink, and maybe no one will ever read my article and click my links, but I believe it still helps. Having said that, I still stick with dofollow as much as possible and don't regularly post to nofollow sites. Just as with any SEO, I firmly believe there is no hard and fast rule. Google can be kinda weird at times at how it values links and whatnot, so if you can do something, you might as well. The vast majority of article directories are dofollow anyway, so there is no need to post where you don't want to.
