Do-Follow Article Directories for 300-400 word count articles

I use Ezine but I write my own articles and Ezine wants long articles.

I have seen places offer articles with 300 word counts.

Is there a place where I can submit articles that are short but will give me a dofollow backlink?

Thanks

    They're not bad judges.

    If you have a long think about the reasons why EZA want longer articles, you might find that you want them, too ... just a suggestion.

    Like many here, I very reliably get far more traffic, opt-ins and sales from a 1,000-word article than I do by using the same material as two 500-word articles.

    There are plenty of article directories which will accept 300-word articles. They all have their own length requirements, which are typically part of the terms of service/editorial guidelines which one must read carefully before posting material on any sites one doesn't own oneself.

    Bear in mind, though, that those backlinks are non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlinks (regardless of the page ranks of the dirctories' home pages). Even long before the Panda update devalued all the article directories so much, accredited, highly regarded SEO authors were saying that one would typically need something between 50,000 and 100,000 of those backlinks to confer the linkjuice equivalent to that from one backlink on a relevant authority-site.

    Depending on article directories for their backlinks really is a very forlorn SEO strategy ... and all the more so, these days.

      Many very savvy SEO types believe that the PR scale is logarithmic. For the math-impaired (non-geek) types, that means that instead of measuring the actual number (of whatever), one scale measures the exponent to which you would raise the number 10 to get the real number. For example, the PR scale runs 0-9. So a PR0 link would be worth 10 raised to the 0 power, or 1

      A PR4 link would be worth 10 raised to the fourth power, or 100,000.

      This would support Alexa's statement that a good, context-relevant link on a PR4 page would be worth ~100,000 PR0, non-relevant links.

      One thing to note...

      As you climb the scale, the actual span covered between numbers grows as well. From PR0 to PR1 only covers 10 units. PR3 to PR4 covers 90,000 units. That PR3 page could be anywhere along the scale from barely tipping 10,000 units to almost 100,000 units.

      So the PR number Google publishes really doesn't mean all that much except in a relative sense. Those values are always changing, even if there are many months between updates of the displayed values. In the grand scheme of things, unless you are selling text links to the uninformed, PR really doesn't mean much.

      That would also account for why it's relatively easy to go from PR0 to PR1 or PR2, but wickedly difficult to go from PR5 to PR6.

    I know 400 words might seem like a lot, but once you get rolling it isn't that bad. Longer articles do seem to produce better results (for me at least), and I've been trying really hard to write articles that are at least 700 words. If 400 words is just too much, Articlebase.com and Bukisa.com are my favorites.
