article marketing question

by ron200

When article marketing with PLR articles, say you want to submit to 20+ article directories, Do I need to have 20 completely different PLR articles(1 for each directory)? or do i take 1 article and spin it or put my own spin on it, change title, etc. and that one article goes into several directories 1 after each spin?

Another thing is should I Never put a PLR article in a directory that i have not changed the title for and done at least some minor changes to?

Any any of the examples above would i be submiting the same title to several directories?

Thanks. I have tons of PLR articles and need to start doing article marketing for the 2 sites I have.

    You should ideally spin them, as a lot of article directories will delete your articles if they find them elsewhere on the web, especially the bigger directories where most of your traffic will probably come from.

      Sorry but this is totally incorrect.

      Buzzle is the only article directory that requires you to publish content that is exclusively theirs.

      I politely suggest you read this thread which is just below this thread and almost exactly the same topic.

    First I would suggest not spinning your articles at all. Take the time to rewrite them yourself. You can tell when an article has been spun and the important directories, the ones that will actually send you traffic, will not accept those articles.

    Each directory is different. Some will take articles you have published on other sites and some will not. For those that do, you can submit the same 20 articles to all of them. I would however suggest posting them to your site or blog first. This way Google and other search engines will consider it to be the original copy and your site will get ranked for it rather than an article directory getting ranked for it.

    Just to add, you can randomly link some of your articles together for SEO purposes. Make sure that the main articles at high traffic directories like GoArticles, EzineA, ArticlesBase are all linking to your money site, and other article directories are randomly linking to each other and the three mentioned before.

    Depends if you care about the quality of your articles and your site. If you are attaching your name to the site and it is a quality site, just re-write each one

    If you are just linkbuilding to a niche money making site spin them or just submit them all.

    there are spinning techniques that when used properly, you will have different versions of your articles.

      What do you want to achieve ? Backlinks right than submit you one article to all the article directories that you can locate in the SE.

      What for when you spin the article and no one find your article?

      When searchers found your article ultimately you want them to click on it and come to your website and take some meaningful action. Is that what you want. So before you write you still need to do some research before you write.

      Backlinks or funnel ? You decide.

    To me, most spun articles sound ridiculous, and it's obvious they have been spun. If your name is going to be on the article, I would at least rewrite some portion of it and review carefully before publishing. There's something about maintaining one's integrity.

    Find a balance, a mixture of spinning and rewriting. The most important being to change the title.

    Do you have TBS ?

    What I would do is, get one article, spin it via TBS and then submit via AMR. Submitting same article to hundreds of directories is only gonna harm your site. Its quality vs quantity and you should look at quality and not quantity.

      What?????? :confused:

      Spinning is quality and not quantity?

      Get your facts right.

      Mass spinning the same article is quantity.

      Writing your own high standard articles is quality.

      Think about it for one moment, if Buzzle is the only directory that has to have exclusive rights to your articles and all the others don't, how exactly can it harm you?

        What I meant was quantity (same PLR article to thousands of directories) vs quality (spun article to directories) :p

          Oh, sorry, a quality spun article is something I've never heard of :p

          Wasn't aware that was possible :rolleyes:

    Ron ... about half the comments above are pure fiction. The advice in one of them can even be directly and cumulatively damaging to your business. As Richard wisely implies above, you'll probably learn a lot more from the thread he linked to. The answers given to the questions in this post may also help you, I think.

    This is completely wrong.

    Article directories do not require unpublished content.

    I have nearly 1,300 articles in EZA, all of which were previously published elsewhere, sometimes in several other places, before submission to EZA. As so many successful, professional article marketers explain, in great detail, in this fine thread, you should always publish your articles on your own site first, and have them indexed there, before submitting them to any article directory.

    (The only article directory which won't accept that is "Buzzle", which doesn't now allow links anyway, so it's pretty academic, as we were saying yesterday).
