Hey everyone, I am wondering what the BEST way to go about article marketing is? Everyone seems to have a different opinion on this, but for the sole purpose of using article marketing to get ranked in SERPS and building backlinks (getting linkjuice) , what is the best option? The way I see it there are 3 schools of thought, which one is the best? 1. Submit article to ONLY ONE high-authority directory, such as ezinearticles? 2. Write an article and submit it to first ezine, then maybe the top 10 article directories, and perhaps change the title around? 3. Write an article and use article submitting and spinning software to send respun versions to 100's of different directories? It seems like people are afraid to submit an article to multiple directories, for fear of a duplicate content penalty, that it will devalue the original or the other ones won't get indexed. I guess my question is, is it true that if you post the same article in a bunch of places they still get me backlinks, or will it just be wasting my time?? thanks
You can use whichever method you listed, just test to see how many baklinks you get or how effective they are? Spinning content is doable but you have to know how to spin well. The common goal is 30% but it seems like many marketers have raised that number to 60-80% uniqueness. You need to be careful submitting spunned content to ezine articles.
This is my way on article submission. 1) Write one article and submit to ezinearticles and article base. 2) Once they approve, take them and submit to 25 other article sites. 3)Never ever spin an article.
I haven't tried submitting the spun article to many article directories. A few months back, someone mentioned about submitting an article to Ezinearticles. Then rewrite and spin the articles, submitting to a few hundred article directories, all pointing back to Ezinearticles. That makes sense to me. If the original article ranks well, it will attract many webmasters to republish the content, earning more backlinks. At the very least, that link from that article is a high-quality link.
Basically, all the above.. You have to see what works for you and your site. I have found that the way I submit articles works differently with different niches.. Don't ask me why, but it does...
