Value of article submissions (for PR)?

    If you submit an article to a website, and they create a new page to display your article and your link, the initial PR will be 0 on that page and you'll have to wait for a PR update for the page they created with your article and YOUR LINK to have a PR somewhat consistent with the rest of the site.

    Does this mean you have to wait for the first PR update for the page with your article and link on it to get a normal PR, and THEN wait for another PR update to get the value of that page to help out your own website?

    No lschmidt, see PR updates mean very little, they are pretty much just public releases of the information which google updates every few days so the effects of the links you will feel if it is spread all over you shouldn't have to wait for updates...

    In that case, what are your opinions on what the best thing to do with your niche-content articles:

    A) Post on your site only

    B) Submit to article submission sites

    C) Both A and B

    D) Other (please explain)

    What do you all think?

    I would say a mix of A and B

    I think you should keep the best ones only on your site and submit the lesser ones to article sites which would keep your site original in the eyes of Google and would give you the best of both worlds :)

    my choice: C) Both A and B
    with minor modifications on the articles when doing A so both articles are identical. a mix of two similiar articles might makes things go faster.

    if you post an article up on your own site and then distrubute this article to various article directories will you get penalised for duplicate content?

    i dont think so becuase google has already spidered your website and found the article but if it then spiders another site and finds the same article is there a penalty??

    if so is this to your whole site or just to the page that is displaying the dup content??

    sorry about all the questions!!

    Not sure there is a penalty for posting on your own site and then others later.

    For example, most major corporations have an archive of press releases. These all contain standard content and links to themselves, yes?

    They also distribute the releases as far and wide as possible.

    Many places publish them untouched (the dream of every PR person - PR as in press relations, not page rank ;) )

    I've used prweb.com to distribute my releases and also archived them on the site. No penalty to date that I've seen.

    My 2 cents.

    :cool:
