One Article Directory, Or Many?

15 years ago

I do this,

Manually submit to 10 top directories

Submit to 500-1000 other sites using automated submission system , better than only submit to top 1 directory.

Thanks

Any issues with submitting the same article to multiple directories?

  Nah. It's the same as news syndication. The duplicate content theory is a myth. James and Allan incidentally (lol), along with others, have discussed this thoroughly in other threads.

What auto system are you using?

And are you submitting the same article to the top directories as to the other 500-1000?

Are you varying your anchor text?

I guess I would prefer to only have to submit my articles to 1 or 2 sites instead of 5 or 6 or more different article sites.

Also, if your site is showing up on page 2 or 3, how many articles would you suggest submitting? I currently only have a couple articles linked to my site but I'm guessing it's going to take quite a bit more.

It depends on your niche, audience, writing style, product, landing site, etc...

Article marketing has so many dynamic variables that it is impossible to tell without seeing specific examples.

I agree with Allen, there are certainly many variables to article marketing that shold be looked before the launch of a new campaign.

I also think that you should manually submit to at least 15 of the top ranked article directories.

Thanks for the info. Looks like submitting to multiple directories is the winner. I'm also now trying out a distribution service on top of my manual submissions. I guess we'll see how that works out.

HI

You should do a search for article submission in google and you will find plenty of free programs you can download that will help you submit your articles to hundreds of directories in a short period of time with some work... easier then submitting them all manually.

Thx
Tom

As for me I try to cover as much as possible. So, I try to submit each new article to a new directory and have the same advise for you.

Submit to as many as you can. And re-write for each directory.

While dupe content penalty is a myth, SEs will only rank one version of an article, the one on the site with the highest authority. So, for example, if you submit the same article to EZA and GoArticles, probably only the EZA version will rank. Submit unique articles to each, and you can rank for the same keyword with both articles, which will drive more traffic to your articles, get them published on more third-party sites, and get you more backlinks.

How many sites are you re-writting the article for?

Hi Kenny..

Based on my test, many times the same articles that I submitted at EZA and AB or GO will rank in SE. The only tweak that'll do is that I'll change the title and resource box. You can get multiple ranking with the same content with different directories.If you build backlinks to those articles, both will stick on SE's 1st or 2nd page for a long time.

This is not correct at all .. The search engines will list several exact same articles on page one and it has nothing to do with authority ... The one that will show on top will be the one with the most backlinks.

I am using big mikes directorybot and it is pretty damn easy and cost me only 12 bucks. Takes me about 3 min to submit to 300 directories that dont require captcha.

I read that it is best to submit to no more than 25 directories a day so it doesnt raise any google flags. Anyone have an opinion on this?

Thanks

Yeah it's a myth and bad advice ... You can submit 1,000 articles a day to 1,000 article directories and it will not hurt you ...

Use logic when you hear bad advice like that.

* If I submit a press release to PRWeb and pay for the full service then guess what ?? My press release is going to thousands of places.

* If my article is popular and very useful and informative then it is possible it could be picked up by 2,000 publishers that will republish it all in the same day. Thus your article is going to thousands of places.

Thanks for the clarity on that James. I usually dont listen to the myths but this was in the directorybot user manual from big mike so I wasnt sure about it.

You're welcome ... I know where the information came from but this is why many are told to test and not listen to 2nd hand talking... I know many that are doing press releases and submitting them to thousands of places and I see no fall back from google or any other search engine.

I have test many many article directories and submitted many articles to thousands of sites all in one day.. I seen no punishment from it, I seen increased traffic and rankings.

What people need to understand is that google or any other spider/bot cannot be on billions of sites 24/7/7.. There is no way they can monitor billions of sites every single second of the day. As such they have no idea when the content was created or submitted.
