Article directories to use

Not at all.

Your article will be placed on a new page within the website, and all new pages begin life with a PR0. Your article page will have to earn its own link popularity in order to have link popularity to share with your site.

They don't even get PR0. They are all 'unranked' means you will notice 'No PageRank Information' to the new pages.

There won't be any increase of PR to your new article either you publish on PR6/PR4 article directory. As said by 'tpw', you will need to work out on the popularity of your article that is published in the article directory to increase PR.

Oh sorry ^^,
I was just adding some points on the main Question. " Article directories to use"

With the last question of yours I think tpw answer is great. There's no correlation to submitting to PR 2 or PR9 article directories simply because your Article will become PR0 and the main site will not have any effect on the article submitted.

just to add
don't overthink on the backlinking process of article marketing. Just get a list that has an average PR of 2-8 (Im scared of PR0 and PR1 article sites) Then post it there.



Also don't give backlink's to the articles submitted. You will be spending time and energy to give ARTICLE directories backlinks. For what purpose?

• to give SE traffic to the articles on article directories that has your resource box/sig?
• For your article to top notch a single keyword?

You'll be giving free targeted potential customers to article sites that's Full of adsense. Only 30% of these targeted customer will reach your sites instead of 100% cause of the adsense barage. Sometimes even lower. So instead of giving them backlinks why not increase the backlinks of your OWN sites and get the Search Engine Traffic yourself?.

Remember this, backlinks to the articles doesn't determine who stays or get's de-indexed by google after 6 months it only boosts the rankings on Search Engines. So as an example an article that has 5 backlinks vs an article that has 0 backlinks. Sometimes 0backlink articles stays in google and 5backlinked articles will disappear. So the backlinks on article doesn't determine who gets to stay or who gets kicked out.

p,s put your article first in your Blog.yoursite.com or anywhere you like in your site before posting them in the article directories.

So in short. PR of the article Directories is not a factor in determining the juice or rank of your article and Backlinking the articles from other article directories is a waste of time, effort and potential targeted customers from SE.

Hope this helps,

Here's my understanding.

PR is only applicable to the page you are on and not the site itself.

However there are two things to think of.

Firstly sites with a high PR are generally indicative of authority and with this there is generally (though not always) the opportunity for more traffic. So the likelihood is that you will have more potential to gain views from a site with a high PR than one with 0. And of course the higher the PR the more likelihood that Google will check back regularly and index the pages (ie. your article).

Secondly there is the vague chance that some of the PR from a high value PR site will filter down to some of its other pages. I think this is the general notion with websites. However article directories have so many articles and pages the likelihood of any benefit from this would be minimal.

I have had much more success with some article directories with a lower PR in terms of traffic across some of my sites than those with higher.

Remember traffic is sanity and PR is vanity. I can think of half a dozen sites off the top of my head with a PR of 3-4 that get less than 10 hits per day.

Try a couple of article directories and see what works for you. I find some niches and categories work better with certain directories than others.
