End of Article Directories? What you think?

cecilio · 04-19-2011, 08:11 PM

Hi,
I have launched a new article directory last month. I am getting some traffic and it is still PR 0. Everything is okay. But after the Panda algorithm I am hopeless about its future. It is almost impossible to get unique articles for a directory which is PR 0.People prefer submitting articles to high PR directories which is obvious. At the same time it is not possible for me too to publish that many articles as currently I am having more than 150 categories. So I have to deal with already posted articles if I want to carry on with it. I do not know if I build back links constantly will it work or not as I suppose Google do not offer high PR to directories. I am not expecting any miracle to happen yet I must have some idea whether it will last or not. I also fear that someday Google may penalize for duplicate content. What you think?
Thanks in advance.

End of article directories? No. End of authority article directories? Definitely not. In the future more may move towards 'unique' submissions for their directory.

I myself is using less and less article directories because I'm more keen on building up alot of 'snipers sites' and use my content in them, however that would not be the case for everyone.. I think as long as you keep the submitted articles moderated and well-checked, like what EzineArticles is doing, you will be fine..

Haha exactly! Well said tessa.

The big article directories have revamped their approval system as of late, so I'm guessing it's a trend that should be followed. Everyone is trying to savor/rebuild their credibility. As an emerging directory, I'd say it's a good idea to start this way.
