On how many sites we should submit the article? I mean submitting ONE article to 150 sites will yield more effect or submission to 5-10 sites is OK? Or we should go for this approach - submitting 10 unique articles to 10 unique sites????? Bit confused
If resources permit, 10 uniques to 10 sites would be awesome. But if you just have one unique article, I would suggest submitting to just a few, say 20 big and trusted article sites.
In terms of backlinking, the thing about duplicate content is that, while Google will at first attribute those backlinks to you, eventually, they will be weeded out and eliminated. The first incident that Google finds of your article will generally become the one and only backlink--eventually. That's what has come to be known as the duplicate content penalty, but is, actually, more of a "competition filter," if you will, than a dup content penalty. It doesn't hurt to have those other articles out there, tho, as they will still bring traffic to your site. I would recommend posting to the top directories first. Then, as you have time, you might add some others, but don't make it a priority. One caveat: Be careful with eZineArticles. They've got a stick up their butt about receiving duplicate content, as I'm sure you know. The problem is, is that they've also got that same stick about rewritten articles, too! I've chatted personally with Chris Knight and wrote about it in an article post, about My Favourite Article Directory. Chris, himself, said this: My gripe with EZA is that, if they didn't have such a slow approval process and had a less-elitist attitude about duplicate content, then rewriting articles for them would be unnecessary! Rewriting your own articles does NOT make you a crap-peddling author, but that's exactly what EZA thinks! and that's why I like GoArticles.com. I get ranked on Page 1 with Google within HOURS every time I post to GoArticles! I would like to see some feedback on my post, if anyone has a moment. Thanks, ~cj
Hello, As a marketing company here is the approach we take. We have our writers write three new pieces of content each week to publish on our blog. Once the articles have been up on the site for one week we take the best rated article and submit it to 20 directories. We give it a week so that it is picked up oo google first as being our content. We only choose to do one article a week to directories that way people have reason to visit your main site.
@CJnQA: Article rewriters spews out garbage. My dog can rewrite better. I'm assuming you're talking about article rewriting software, though. EZA has the right on this, IMO. Besides, I've been submitting dup articles (read unique articles submitted on different article sites) to EZA and they don't have any problem with it. Ever. Goarticles is awesome too. EDIT: Just saw you on an other thread. WOW. You really have some beef to settle with EZA, eh? And a lot of love to give to Goarticles... hmmm..
Hmmm? What, hmmm? I like GoArticles because I can get ranked on Page 1 of Google within hours, not days. I don't really have a beef to settle with EZA, not at all. I've been published there. However, I HAVE had articles rejected that were "dup content" only becasue EZA took so long in their approval process, that they BECAME dup content by the time they got around to it! I just don't like the strictness with which they punish good authors in the name of purity. They are too elitist, imo. We can agree to disagree, yes? I do agree, by the way, that EZA has the right to pick and choose whom they publish. I'm all for that! What I have a problem with is the strictness to which they apply this rule. When I mention rewriting, I'm talking about rewriting one's own content, whether one is doing it by hand or not. YES, spinners are crap! I never recommend them. But there is one rewriter I heartily recommend and it's free. It takes a lot of upfront work, but it works quite well and will give you a multitude of rewritten articles. But EZA would reject them out of hand --as Chris puts it--"because a real expert wouldn’t need to rewrite his or her own expertise." That simply isn't true! Since EZA takes so long to approve an article, it becomes duplicate content by then! Actually, my "mission" if I have one, is to let newbies to article marketing know what the real deal is with EZA. They may be the number one AD out there, but they are by no means an author's friend... IMO. ~cj
When submitting articles it is better to submit unique articles to each article submission. At the very least if you want to submit one article to many sites take the time to rewrite it so google won't consider it duplicate content.
Ideally, you must submit one unique article for each directory. But that's way too hard. I suggest you only submit the article to directories with high PR and traffic.
I used to submit one article to 40 directories because someone told me it's a good way to build backlinks. Backlinks or no backlinks though, I can honestly say that ezinearticles is the only directory that brings in traffic that actually converts to cash. As some have already pointed out though, getting your articles approved and your status upgraded in einearticles is a tough task.
Hi, I know its good for backlinks but some time google consider as copy content if we submitted same content in 40 directories.. both directories are the best..
