Hi all! I have some articles I made to promote my website and I would like to know if it's better send it to a quality directory like ezine articles or massive submit to free article directories. Thank you all in advance
My suggestion is to submit the articles to as many directories as you can. You won't get SERPs help from all of them since some will get flagged as duplicate content, but the end goal with articles is ultimately traffic so it's always best to deal in volume. In addition, you can use social bookmarking (delicious, reddit, etc.) with the articles on a quality directory, so you do get SERPs help from them.
I would suggest going for one or two article submission websites like ezinearticles.com, americanchronicle.com, findarticles.com only
Here's an explanation of social bookmarking. Please check my signature for a list of good social bookmarking sites.
Combination of the quality and the quantity. Submit your articles to best 100 article directories. It is enough. You will get hundreds or even thousands of backlinks.
I suggest to submit articles to only quality article directories. Why? Read this; I have explain it in my post here. forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=801701
angilina, I understand what you're saying in the post you referenced, but you're missing part of the bigger picture with getting backlinks from articles. It's not just about getting the links from the directories you submit to, it's also about the links you'll get from other webmasters who pickup and repurpose the content from those directories. In my mind, with how easy it is to mass submit using any number of services or softwares that are available, it's a waste of your article marketing efforts to not squeeze every inch of mileage you can out of your articles. If it takes you an extra 5 minutes to submit to 30 additional directories, and you even get just 1 decent backlink out of those extra submissions isn't it worth it? Anyway, that's just my opinion.
HI Some great info in here.. I agree you should submit your sites and articles to as many directories as you can... Thanks Tom
send it to as many directories as possible. directories are not being very effective anymore... specially for topics that are popular... so submit to more for more traffic
