What is the best way to submit articles to many different article directories? Is there a software or service that does this best or is it better to outsource it? If I do outsource it, do I have the accounts already created and give the person my password or should they create the account and give me the password once they have submitted the articles? Thanks.
hiring someone is a good option. But, keep your account private, let that person create his own account
According to SEO, Firstly: these sites should be dofollow, secondly: submit the article manually. Thirdly: Author name and user name should be the same. Fourthly: Page Rank of these sites should be more than 3 or 4 to get the dofollow link submit article in Ezine and others high page rank sites.
Your forum really helped me a lot....i was trying to get traffic on my site for long tym,,...but no result..ill try this time by posting articles....
Well said by kalsoom. I follow a simple approach. Do everything manually and the safe way. I even write my content myself without using article spinning to keep everything nice and interesting. The sites I like to use are ArticlesBase, Ezine and GoArticles.
Ideally you want to submit your article to say the top 5-10 directories manually like Ezine Articles, Articlebase, GoArticles etc, and also directories specific to your niche. However, all of this work is time consuming. An alternative is to use some sort of software or service. As each directory works slightly different, if you are going to go down this path I'd consider a service rather than using software for the simple reason that you want your article to appear in the right category. I've been using SubmitYourArticle and they have been pretty good.
It is hard to keep the articles nice looking with automated submissions. Right now there is a new article submission tool being launched by "IMAutomator" which could be very useful. IMAutomator also have this free great Bookmarking Tool for blogs. Use it to get lots of free traffic...
You can hire somebody to create accounts for you and let them do all the submissions themselves. You can do this by hiring a freelancer in Odesk or Elance.com
Obviously, using a software is the fastest way. If you want the cheapest way, then do it in the old fashioned way: manual. If you intend to do many article submissions in the future, using a software will be the best option.
Thanks for all the great advice. I'll start implementing a lot of it right away. Kalsoom mentioned dofollow and page rank. How do you know if a site is dofollow and what their page rank is before you submit?
currently i submit manually but I only use 4 I consider those the best though. I am considring using a submission company that ive been recommended to, if i do I,ll let you all know how it worked out
There are lots of SEO apps you can download to your Moziall Firefox browser that will tell you whether a page you are viewing is do follow or no follow. The one I use is Seerobots. There are lots of free tools to check Google page rank - try prchecker.info or checkpagerank.net
I can definitely recommend submiteaze, by far the best tool out there. Website and article submission in one program, one-time fee, and free software upgrades for life - fantastic!
One of my favorite (non-software) ways of article submission is to use fiverr.com. There are many people on there willing to manually submit to 300+ directories. Always check their feedback and make sure you get a spreadsheet listing of all the places your article was submitted to (for verification). Best, --JR
NEVER NEVER submit automatically, or with a program. ALWAYS submit manually. Believe me, article submission has been my life for a few years now, and nothing beats manual submission. I've tried numerous programs, and they are all crap, including ones I've paid big bucks for. So what if it takes time, the results are worth it.
