Few Questions About Article Marketing and Article Syndication

I've had great success getting things syndicated from both of those websites. If I were you, I'd test out a few different article directories, and see which ones give you the best results.

Exactly... when you publish something on Buzzle, you're not dealing with a true article directory. I can't even imagine how Buzzle is getting writers, now that they've outlawed links.


It would actually be calamitous to spin it! As has been discussed in countless threads here, you're not "punished" for publishing the same article on different sites. There's no reason to spin anything. And, aside from being a waste of your time, every spinner I've ever seen just turns content into mush - and that's definitely something you don't want people to associate you with!

If you're getting syndicated, you're not just writing for someone else's website out of the kindness of your heart You're writing to get the exposure (and the links). Sure, other websites will get to put your article on their website free of charge, but in the process, you're getting your name, your link, and your expertise out in front of targeted traffic.

There's a big difference between exclusive content and syndicated content. Exclusive content is something that you write specifically for just one site, and in some cases, it can be a really wise move.

Here's an example:

I've started doing some writing for SiteProNews. They give me two options when I publish an article - exclusive rights to it (meaning it hasn't been published anywhere else first), or just the "normal" syndication (meaning I can take an article from my site and publish it there).

I always choose to make their articles exclusive for one very big reason - exposure. On SiteProNews, exclusive articles get featured on the home page, Tweeted on SiteProNews' Twitter account, and sent off to their email subscribers. If you choose the "normal" syndication option, you don't get any of those benefits. So, to me, it's worth my time to write an article exclusively for them, because it's going to wind up in front of a ton of eyeballs (that wouldn't necessarily see it if it was just published on one of their inner pages).

And, as an added benefit, once the article is published on SiteProNews' home page, dozens upon dozens of other websites syndicate it. I wouldn't get nearly that much syndication if the article wasn't front-and-center on their home page.

I was interested in reading feedback about people's experience with directory of ezines dot com. I'm aware of the service and how much it costs, but I have not read much in this setting regarding others' success or lack thereof using the service, which costs about $200 yearly, I think. One thing I know for certain, you can expect an onslaught of emails from the owner of the service if you are curious and decide to sign up for preliminary information. He stays in touch!

Some days before i saw one of bill's (tpw) post and he said that the rank in google will ultimately depend upon how many backlinks (high pr and contextual) that url has.

So if many people syndicate my EZA's article, they will put a link of article url. Thus, that page may get lots of link juice and may be it gets transferred to my main article url (on my website) because of 2 reasons :

1) Link of that article is there on the page
2) Google knows that this article was syndicated and thus passes 100% link juice to the main url.


I may be wrong also.
Your point of losing traffic is also important. Thus, won't take that risk.

Thank you for all the help.
