Article Submission After Google Updates Question.

by Isaan
2 replies
Hello,

Until now I always added my own written unique articles on my website, to different article directories as well.

I was wondering if this will still be oké after the Google Panda and Penguin Update.
Should this negatively influence the ranking of the articles on my own website after the Google Updates?

I know, the articles on the article directories will be used by Content Curators, so that will be great.

Hope you want to give me your honest advice.


Thanks,

Isaan

    No, certainly not (as long as you're not doing "mass automated submission" to article directories, of course!).

    All the 2011 "Panda updates" were particularly helpful to article marketers: it's gradually becoming easier to rank the articles on our own sites, now that the article directory copies' own SEO has effectively devalued so much.

    The recent "Penguin update" has helped us further, by removing (from "competing" with us) the sites of people who've done mass automated backlinking on non-context-relevant sites.

    This isn't right at all: article directories have absolutely negligible SEO value. All you can get from them is a non-context-relevant, PR-0 backlink. Using article directories for their own backlinks is a fallacy, as explained here. And here.

    The function and purpose of article directories to article marketers have nothing to do with their own backlinks: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

    Even a year before the series of Panda updates gradually but consistently decimated the linkjuice from article directories, the standard SEO textbook writers were explaining at great length and in great detail why you'd need something between 50,000 and 100,000 of those "backlinks" to give you the linkjuice equivalent to that from one backlink on a relevant authority site. A year or two ago, arguably, having 500,000 of those "backlinks" might have been worth something: now, after the Penguin update, that's "worth" being penalized or de-indexed.
