Hey, I've been changing my strategies a bit over the last few days. I'm now rewiriting every article for every article directory I submit to, because of duplicate content slaps, and something I learned just today... Not submitting to every article durectory I can find... These 20 are about enough. If you submit an article to hundreds and hundreds of different article directories, all pointing to the same link... Even if every single one is rewritten, the search engines will recognize the very similiar content and see this as article spam and you'll actually get penalized for it. SO, this is actually a good thing in a way, because you don't have to worry about submitting stuff to EVERYWHERE anymore. I have also abandonded my article submitter : P. Here's a list of the top 20 high PR Article directories. The PR maybe a bit off on some of them as this is like, a year old or so. EzineArticles.com - PR 7 GoArticles.com - PR 3 ArticleDashboard.com - PR 6 SearchWarp.com - PR 5 ArticlesBase.com - PR 3 iSnare.com - PR 4 SelfGrowth.com - PR 4 Buzzle.com - PR 5 ArticleCity.com - PR 5 IdeaMarketers.com - PR 6 ArticleAlley.com - PR 4 Web-Source.net - PR 4 SelfSEO.com - PR 4 Amazines.com - PR 4 ArticleTrader.com - PR 3 SearchGuild.com - PR 3 WebWorldIndex.com - PR 5 ArticleSphere.com - PR 5 BusinessKnowHow.com - PR 5 ArticlesFactory.com - PR 5 ExcellentGuide.com/article - PR 3 If you still want more, this will keep you busy for approximately three years or so: lemonarian.com/ArticleDirectories-ALOT.txt
GoArticles PR3 - WOW :O I though it's a great article directory, but why Google doesn't like it? Probably because, almost any article easily get accepted...
Yeah, I like it though First time I submitted an article there, I got like 5 hits from that within the second day or so. Hey, that's something...
Yeah... we were just chatting about it in the SEO forum: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=805664
I personally don't think that it's that beneficial to submit it to so many article directories. For the fact that google penalizes you and it can have some bad knock on effects.
students-forum It might be beneficial, but it would take really long time to submit many articles to all these directories. That's my, I am using only Ezine, and sometimes GoArticles.
What do people think of the sporadic approach? Which I've sort of been doing. Like I always submit to EA, but sometimes I send an article off to an article site I never submitted too.
