Mass Submitting Articles - Good Idea or Big Mistake?

Well, personally, I've never found mass submitting to help a bit, so I don't
know whether it's good or bad. I just know it don't do squat for me.

So I don't do it.

I'm starting to think it is becoming a bad idea. In the past, you could mass submit and receive some strong banklinks and traffic from the major article directories while getting the benefit of many backlinks from the other directories.

Now, submitting to the major directories still provides strong backlinks and traffic, while the value of backlinks from directories with little or no page rank has decreased significantly with the major search engines, and looks as though it may disappear entirely.

I'm not sure if this is the reason, but it seems that this is the result of article directory overkill. There are just too many article directories watering down their own value.

Yes, those were the good ol days. Kinda humbling to look back now.

That's one issue with mass submission. Some sites have different html styles and you have no control over what your bio will look like on some sites like the example I used to make the point.

I believe that you'll get some juice out of them, but your mileage may vary. So, do I think it's a good idea? The jury is still out, but I do see some low-level value in it for the short term.

I personally tend to submit about every fifth article with mass submission and it's usually not the best article in the pile. I save the good ones for single submissions to authority sites.
Another little quirky thing I do is take snippets of the articles and use them when submitting paid directory links to vary the anchor text. This helps provide a more natural look and feel for big G. (A little more LSI juice if you will...)

Most of them not! But it doesn't hurt neither...... And you get more exposure!!!! and the other search engines count alot more of the links than google does. No matter what as soon as you submit the article other websites will pick it up so you will get a few regardless.....

There is no such thing as single eventually others sites pick it up. The only benefit is for the article directory. The first one that has the content.

I can guarantee you that it is the exact reason why your site dropped out of the SERPS.

new site + rapid backlink growth + same anchor text = Google sandbox

I'm trying to find out what might be the big mistake using mass article submission?

Maybe someone will chine in as to why it would be a big mistake?

Here is an article I wrote that talks about mass article submission and the reason why I was doing it back in 2005. The reason would still apply today if it was part of my business plan. Even if you submit an article to a single article directory "if it's any good" will be picked from webmasters and put on their sites and or blogs anyways.

Take note of how much white space there is in the article body. This single article actually is still generating sales to this day. When you write an article giving 'tips' and 'how to' along with some sort of 'product review' weaved in, it can be very effective. I actually learned this from Willie Crawford when I first did research online within the IM arena...

This was well before the term "bum marketing" was coined by Travis Sago.

Opps! I'm getting off topic here. The point being mass submission does work if you know how to do it right and use the right type of submission service that does not mess up your article bio html links. I used a service once and it was a real waste of my time.

Writing & Submitting Articles - 2 Powerful Ways To Get Laser Targeted Traffic And One Way Back Links

Writing and submitting articles has now become two of the most powerful and effective ways to get laser targeted, on topic traffic to your websites.

Many webmasters are using this technique to gain thousands of one way back links and on topic laser targeted traffic to their niche websites.

These are just two of the many reasons writing and submitting original quality, keyword/phrase optimized content articles is now the latest internet marketing buzz.

Here are the 2 most powerful and effective techniques that you can combine today to really power a successful website with laser targeted traffic are:

1. Writing and Submitting Quality Content Articles
2. One Way Back Links

You already know that right?

Are you writing articles and submitting them using effective article submission services such as SubmitYourArticle and ArticleMarketer?

Many internet marketing experts have been writing articles and submitting articles for many years using these services to help automate and make the process easier.

Submitting articles by hand can be a daunting task to say the least. After a month or two and many hours of submitting, most article marketers realize this fact and find an article submission service to meet their needs.

I've gained well over 100,000 one way back links to niche sites from Google alone. This could not have been accomplished by hand without spending time submitting articles 24/7 around the clock.

When you know the value of submitting original quality content articles and how using the right keywords in your articles will drive laser targeted traffic to your websites from the search engines and article directories, you really can see how powerful this technique becomes over time.

The article submission services that I've used are SubmitYourArticle and ArticleMarketer. They are the top two article submission services available today.

If you're anything like me, getting laser targeted traffic, more leads and more sales from your sites is your main goal. And, like most people, you probably have a tough time getting targeted traffic to your sites month after month. I've spent thousands of dollars on techniques such as pay-per-click, banner ads and eZine solo ads that have not been effective. In several cases it has simply been a learning experience and a big waste of money.

When you write and submit your own article, you can reach thousands of people and attract laser targeted traffic and one way back links to your site. Many Ezine subscribers and most people in general, are really getting sick and tired of advertising. However, they are looking for valuable content and information.

When you provide top quality content and information in the way of articles, the reader is far more receptive because they don't feel that they are reading an ad.

Article submissions are much more cost effective than ezine advertising. A typical solo ad can cost you about $75 for just a one time ad.

The beautiful part about writing and submitting your articles is the fact that they will have a permanent presence on thousands of websites for many years and in some cases forever. Some say that a great article can live longer than the original writer.

Another really sweet thing about submitting your articles with your live, active links to your website in your bio, gives your traffic and sales a very powerful boost.

A great example, if you do a Google search for "Dean Shainin" you'll find links to hundreds of articles that I have written and submitted using these article submission services. Many of these articles continue to bring me long lasting, laser targeted traffic and sales everyday.

There are certain aspects that I like with both SubmitYourArticle and ArticleMaketer. Only you can decide which service is best for your article marketing efforts. I use both article submission services to utilize the advantages of each service most effectively.

So why don't all internet marketers write and submit articles for their internet marketing strategy?

Many marketers want to "get rich quick" and make the mistake of purchasing so called "targeted hits" and other types of advertising for their sites. They soon realize that their efforts are both a waste of money and time.

One way back links are key to helping your websites page rank when indexed by the search engines when you submit articles.

4 Effective Tips To Gain Back Links and Get Targeted Traffic Writing and Submitting Articles

1. Write articles with quality original content, keyword/phrase rich articles, with links to your website in your resource box.

2. Build a website or web page with targeted keyword/phrase rich original article content for the targeted traffic that originates from your articles that you submit using the top submission services.

3. Make sure to use high quality descriptive keywords in the anchor text when you insert your URL using html. This helps your article to get picked up by the search engines.

4. Try not to sell anything in your resource box at the end of your article. You simply want people to visit your site from the link within the resource box.

Internet marketers that incorporate Google Adsense and or Affiliate Marketing with writing and submitting articles are making money hand over fist using this effective internet marketing strategy.

4 Effective Tips To Get Started Writing and Submitting Articles

1. Keyword Research. Find popular niches and keywords/phrases, using a keyword selector and suggestion tool.

2. Writing Articles. Write original quality content articles with keywords from your niche research.

3. Build Quality Content Sites. Build an original quality article content site incorporated with Google Adsense and or Affliliate Marketing products and services that are related to the niche of the articles you submit.

4. Research an article submission service that will fit your budget and that will be effective for your type of article marketing efforts.

Only you can take advantage of this powerful way to get laser targeted traffic and one way back links to your sites by writing and submitting articles.

The top marketers like me are using this technique everyday to build long term laser targeted traffic and one way back links to our sites.

There really is very little you can do that will give you near the same type of powerful results as writing and submitting articles.

I bought Article Post Robot, and signed up with all the directories using Roboform. Yes, it was still a little tedious, but now I don't have to worry about that again.

You can vary a lot of things with APR, and the author/bio is one of them. This means you can have as many different anchor texts as you want. Great piece of software, that has recently been updated.
