Article Directory that Doesn't Care About Content?

by aaallday2010

I'm looking for some article directories that don't care what kind of articles are submitted.

I'm just looking to create a few links and could care less what the content of the article is. I'm not expecting readers to find these articles.

So, does anyone know of a few article directories that have instant approval with no human actually reading the articles for quality?

Thanks.

P.S. - I did do an initial search and found a few posts with "instant approval directories" but most of those directories were not instant approval.

    If you find one, there is a decent chance it has been deindexed.

      Thanks.

      When you say deindexed, do you mean that Google does not visit that site anymore so my links won't get counted, or do you mean to say that it simply is not listed in the search results, but Google still counts the links (or at least acknowledge them)?

    If they don't care what kind of articles are submitted, they won't be of any real SEO value to you at all. Seriously.

    Well don't use article directory ones, then: they're the lowest of the low for linkjuice. Almost anything's better. Really: those backlinks have almost no value at all.

    Using article directories for their own backlinks is a fallacy, as explained here. And here.

    Even before all the Panda updates devalued the article directories so much, throughout 2011, SEO textbook writers were explaining in detail why you'd 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.

    ^^ ... or that it will be.

    These types of directories are bulging at the seams with spammy submissions and they don't have sufficient inbound linkjuice to even get it all indexed, much less confer any benefit to you.

    Don't waste your time. It's literally pointless.

    Thanks everyone. It looks as if I'd be better off creating a small website just for this purpose.

      But then you'd just have to build a bunch of links to that site to get much benefit.

      Wouldn't it be best just building links to your site from other sources?

    Don't focus on building links so much. Focus on putting out good content that your target audience will find valuable. One great article can do more good then a hundred crappy articles that offer absolutely no value. If you write one great article and thousands of people link to it you will get way more traffic then throwing out a bunch of junk for the sake of getting links. Its all about providing value.

    Don't waste your time posting a bunch of articles that no one will read. Yes, the search engines might acknowledge the link but it is people who will actually click it and visit your site.

      Thanks for your input, and I totally agree with what you said, but really, these links will not be linking to my website. I want to link to some other quality articles that link back to my site. I'm trying to create a link wheel if you will, but just don't know where to put the lower quality articles in order to do that.

      I'm basically copying a fellow Warrior who did the same thing to one of my other sites and my rankings skyrocketed as a result. But, he charges a lot (well worth it though), and I just cant afford to hire is services again. Not yet at least.
