Hi, I want to select some valuable article directories which article directory site have great value to search engine, great back links value, maintain the quality of submitted articles. If you know the such article directories please share with me. I know about the Ezine articles so except Ezine share us. Thanks in advance to share the list
Article marketing is a source of weak links and basically a waste of time. Most article directories are well past their saturation and so overrun with spam that Google is indexing them only half-heartedly. Most articles appear on pages that have no PR. You can watch this SEOmoz video for more information. As much as any person, I understand the desire to get something for nothing and to achieve some results for free. It's too bad that free link building doesn't help you a whole lot, being only very slightly better than nothing. Look into getting some power links instead: they cost money but they actually rank your website.
Hi, Ezine articles is the best. However, one problem with any of the main article directories is that the links are being given much less attention by Google and other search engines that they used to. This is partially due to the placement of the links in the sig box at the bottom of the page. In text links with anchor text are much better and beneficial - however they're more difficult to get. I am a member of a system with excellent link building tools that will cut effort and time dramatically. it's not free, but very reasonable for what you get. I won't pitch it here, but PM me if your want to know more. Regards, Dave
Thanks for the nice explanation...but constantly submitting unique articles written individually for top directories mentioned above...& tweaking anchor text nicely can still do the trick!
I would recommend focusing efforts on guest posting instead of building weak article submission backlinks
I am not fully agree with you, if you post unique and quality article on top directories which mostly like from google, must have a great value of your links and it is what in PR page or not PR. If your article is really quality words and its definitely indexed by search engine and ultimately you get the traffic (of this published article ) and also get PR when Google update. I agree with dexterb007, unique, quality article on top directories and linkking on perfect anchor text should be bring a good result for you.
i tried UAW for link building and spuned set of 5 articles. so far 10 backlinks after 5 months i started UAW experience - links are coming from single unindexed posts - my opinion is that articles is a time and money waste. and UAW especially
To simply say Article Marketing doesn't work is short sited. You should have at least 10 articles on all the article directories. There's about 350 that work. That's 3500 backlinks across a very wide network of domains, which helps spread the risk and weighs more than if from same domain. Yes, there are better ways of getting links, but you mine as well do all the methods, vs skipping out on 3500 links.
i would suggest ezine articles, goarticles, articlecity, articlebase, articledashboard these would be good
Probably, if you are asking the list of directories, you can perhaps google "Article Directories" and then, you get plenty list. If you want to get great backlinks, check the article directly which has do follow in external links by browsing other person articles.
there are some lists floating around of top article directories that were created in the last 90 days. My 2cents is that the articles must be unique to the directories. I am considering experimenting with pingomatic once I submit unique articles to these sites to see if it helps with indexation. thinking that Google may crawl some of the pingomatic based sites and get a sort of barnacle indexation. I agree that they are not great quality but still they count towards root linking domains.
I dont know why you guys are bashing article marketing. Ive had great results by using this method which in 3 months, 15 articles, re-written, re-submitted, repeated and one of my sites has come from page 9 to #15 in google for my target keyword. the trick is to only submit quality unique articles. You cant just write crap. It has to engage the reader. Also, if you go spin one 100 times and submit them to 100 sites, probably 90 will be rejected. I manually re-write each sentence and each and every one of my submissions have been accepted and indexed. I use ezinearticles.com, articlesbase.com, sooperarticles.com (a reallt nice one that's well rss syndicated) goarticles.com, articlepros.com, articlesfox.com and many many others. The great thing with article marketing is if your article is good people will post it to their autoblogs, keeping the backlink and this is when it starts to pay off. This thing takes time, months, so people dont expect results in 3 weeks.
I too got good results from Article submissions, so I cannot bash the importance of article submissions. OK you should not just focus on only article submission. Other form of backlink generation too needed.
There are many Article Site are available out of I use these Ezinearticle, GoArticle and Articledashboard from which I'm getting quality link juice
Ezine Articles is great. GoArticles is probably the 2nd best IMO. I stop there... and frankly use Ezine Articles 99% of the time.
If i have to submit articles, I wouldn't do this to sites that add the "nofollow" tag in links... Please consider this article directory list and it might help you: http://www.vretoolbar.com/articles/directories.php
