Many online marketers swear by article submission or bum marketing as they call it. You need to have quality articles that are keyword written and submitted to good sites like Ezine and LOTS of them. Those guys pump out 10 plus articles a day. Definitely not for the faint hearted.
diversity is best in all courses of action, use them all and see how it goes. directories are still important especially if it's a quality directory with some history under its belt in other words started up around 2003-2005, and i've had good success with them.
Article Submission is still the best among of the 3.. Its normally targets your keyword directly to your article.
You should consider building links to your website from different resources, Go ahead with those 3 submissions and also consider spending few bucks buying quality related links for your website
HI it is all about backlinks and the anchor text you are using in those links.. and from the sites the backlinks come from... but over all just work on getting more backlinks. Tom
None of the above. Perhaps you do not fully understand what SEO is about? Those options are about promoting your site, not optimizing it. SEO is where you tweak things like meta description, submit a site map to your google webmaster tools and yahoo site explorer, keyword placement in article titles, keyword placement in the article, tags,,,,,,. SEO is not about article or directory submission.
Article submission should be the best among those three. Just make sure it's dofollow and the site has high traffic. Avoid duplicate content.
Article submission is the best. It drives unique traffic, have your site indexed and improves your sites SERPs.
I use all three, but does any one know any good article sites to submit too? I only use ezinearticles
Article submission is best as you get a back link from the article submission website. You also get people who read the article on the (directory) site, maybe leading to a sale. You also get people who paste the article on their websites, increasing the number of backlinks to your website and again increasing the number of possible sales.
Out of the three, article submission. I would do all three, however, directories don't carry the weight they used to...unless it's Yahoo Directory or DMOZ.
