hello frns, can anybody tell me what is the advantage of blog postings and how differ from directory and article submissions?
Blogs are nice because they are easier to find one that has a common niche or related topic to your site. They also seem to carry a bit more weight with Google and you can include much more information if you get a blog post with your link.
unlike in article and directory submissions there are rules and restrictions to follow. while in blog postings, you can make your own blog, you can manage it without following any rules set by an admin.
And also blogs have less links on everypage when compared to directories and generally they have fresh content.
The good thing about blogs is that you have complete control over your content and textlinks. You can also get access to places reserved for blogs only, e.g. blog directories, blog search engines and blog aggregrators. The downside is that the inner pages do not receive as much "linkjuice", hence as your blog post gets buried your links get a lower pagerank. There also seems to be a problem of blog posts disappearing into Google's Supplemental Index because of the way it's structured - just do a such for "wordpress supplemental index".
For me Blog is more advisable because you have the control on it. You can put as many links as you want not like in article. You can also have link exchange here. But do both of it for more traffics
Hello, In my opinion people like to read blogs, and people really don't visit directories, if you are looking for PR Dorectories also can help, but if you are looking for traffic maybe a blog could give you more...
Blogs are nice because you can get a lot of links with the desired anchor text. Also CMS like WordPress are SEO friendly and you can easily drive traffic to your other sites.
You can insert links within relevant content. This is good because Google looks at content around the link to determine weather the link is good quality or not.
you can simply advertise your site without noticing the readers that you are already selling products/services to your site... this is the best way to link bait!
