There are hundreds of article directories out there but some just seem like a waste of time. Which ones do you think are the best in terms of backlink creation as well as generating hits?
http://ezinearticles.com/ has been the best for me by far. One of my articles got picked up many times and has created awesome backlinks!
I heard that it isnt good to submit the same exact article to many article directories (duplicate content) Is this true?
Isnare.com and ezinearticles are 2 good ones. Article Dashboard isnt that bad as well. Isnare has a distribution service. Check it out.
i'll also give it up for article dashboard even though they won't let you put links in your article body... boo.
Just submit to the big ones listed above, some of the small ones arent even worth it. You Isnare's distribution service and the small ones will pick up your articles.
I used to say that you should submit to as many as possible, but i'm really starting to believe in the statement above more and more. The thing is that these sites are the only ones that ever really get articles republished. And that, in the long run, is what you want to do.
I submit to 4 article directories only and they are ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com, isnare.com and searchwarp.com
