I want to submit one article to many article directories. Is there something I should be doing to get better value out of what I am doing? Will Google mind if its the same article on 50 sites? Will I still get the credit from every backlink? Also when submitting to some of these article sites, it looks like they are fairly new. Should I use a ping service to hurry up the crawls to index the site?
It's okay to submit your 1 unique article in many article directories. As long as you follow their rules regulations. Most of article directories, don't allowed you to create a links on your article body. But you can use your author information to input your links.
Hi, What I would suggest is submit your original article in EzineArticles.com. Because it is one of the most popular article marketing sites which will give you massive level of exposure. Then tweak original article and then submit this article in the rest of the article directories. Here I would recommend to check out a hubpage about Article Marketing Strategy.
It's okay, you can submit one article in many article directory. But i think submit one article in 25-35 good article directory is better approach.
Thanks for the replies. I Obviously see hundreds of article directories and even wonder how often google index new content, is pinging your new article effective?
this is a bad practice. good for neither search engines not the respective article directories. try avoid duplicate content by sending the same article to multiple sources.
I understand where you are coming - but can you imagine writing fresh content for 100+ article directories. If you put a bit more effort into it you could write researched articles for your own website and stand the chance of getting better search traffic with people linking back to you.
yes, absolutely, this is a hard work but you may also hire somebody to write some articles for you, thus you can save time although investing for your site promotion.
Good question. Not all of article directories accept content with links in content and some check articles for uniquness. Often article from EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com re-published by less famous article directories. That's why I reccommend to submit article first to TOP artcile directories: EzineArticles.com GoArticles.com articlesbase.com buzzle.com articledashboard.com helium.com articlesnatch.com articlealley.com amazines.com searchwarp.com After it you can submit article to others - full list of great article directories.
I would recommend you to use an article spinner and create man unique article from the article in your hand. Than submit them to the big article directories like EzineArticles, GoArticles and many quality article directories you can find by googling. And you can also ping your articles by using PingDevice.com Pinging has no disadvantage but most times has advantages. Most of the big article directories have their own pinging service to automatically ping the search engines but you can not know which one has it.
You don't risk anything, as it's not you the one dealing with the duplicate content. submitting the same article implies the 1st directory that listed the article and that has been indexed first is seen as the original source. all others are duplicating content, therefore links might not be as good, but that's just an assumption.
If same article to 50 directories = spam Than where I will get lots of articles to submit to lots of article dir? I think this formula is not true for article submission.
Spin your article so that you have a much more unique article for each directory and more value for your links. If you have the time, you can check the article's status on the directories and retrieve the exact URL of the approved article. You can 1)ping them 2)create RSS feeds from the list and submit to RSS aggregators 3)bookmark the URLs Takes up a lot of time but it's worth the effort.
I don't think it is a good idea that you submit same article to 50 sites, anyhow,you need to change some of ur article.
