Hello all, This is my first post, but I have stumbled across DP posts in my recent SEO quests and have found them quite helpful. For the past month I have been delving into the world of article writing and submission. After spending many hours distribution articles myself, I opted to try an article submission service (I won't name it, but I did find it by searching DP forums). Well, I had my article nicely spun (by myself, manually) and I even got it accepted to, ezine, but I wanted to try a submission service to blast it out to a few hundred other directories. I found one for 12 dollars that is supposed to submit to 700 plus directories. It is still in process, but I noticed some links already, all coming from the same site (articleonramp). They use my pen name and do have the links with my anchor text in the sig box, BUT the articles are not mine, and are highly spammy looking (stuff about myspace profiles, oil rigs, etc etc). This service does not provide reports either. My question is: does anybody know of a reliable article distribution service?
Yep, DistributeYourArticles is being talked about a lot around the industry and is building a lot of options with syndication. UAW is another well known one that doesn't have quite as many options but can be bought per "blast" rather than a monthly fee. You'll see a few others if you Google Article Marketing submission services. Don't forget about content networks too which is a another good way to get one way links.
DistributeYourArticles and UAW look interesting, but do they provide any kind of report? My problem with what I bought is that they submitted my links with other articles and it looks extremely shady. I know no one really reads things things, but if I take the time to write and spin an article, and pay for its distribution, i want to make sure they are at least attempting to do it. What is your experience with these two?
