Who submits articles to 300+ directories in one go?

I'm asking because i've never done this and because I find it hard to believe 300 new links within the space of a week isn't going to lift a red flag to google and have the site sandboxed.

I want to know your experiences, have you submitted to 300+ article directories in one go?

What were the effects?

Thanks

    Matt,

    I don't know that it has quite been 300, but I often submit articles to a couple hundred article directories at one time (even multiple articles in the same day). It has NEVER been a problem.

    And I don't think it ever would for two reasons. First, many directories review the submissions and it may take a couple weeks until they are approved. Second, Google is not going to spider all these sites at the same time, so they won't show up to Google all at the same time anyway. Ultimately, between the approval process and Google spider delay, all these links won't be found for several weeks.

    Have you seen a marked increase in ranking through using the submissions?

    You see you might not perceive the penalty because the links seem plain ineffective or only a marginal increase.

    The thing is that those links won't be indexed within a week.

    It'll take months. And months...

      If it was an issue for concern, services like articlemarketer.com would be out of business.

        Have to agree with Mike. I've never found anyone that proved google penalized them for having a huge amount of backlinks in a short period of time. In fact the opposite is true. A mate had a story hit the national UK press last year all linking to his site. It broke overnight and he got hundreds of links within 48 hours from it without google penalizing him!

      Actually those links could be indexed within hours, even minutes.. If you know how to do it that is... Point is though not everyone sits around waiting for months for links to be indexed.

    It's pure myth .... I have taken zyxdomain.com and bookmarked it 5,000 times in one day.. The results: 20% increase in traffic and huge increase in rankings and not only on google.

    It is impossible that any search spider is going to spider millions of sites every single day. They may visit sites but they do not always index what is on those sites. They visit sites at different times and different intervals.

    Keep in mind that others are doing the same exact thing so other links or articles are created pushing yours down the line also...

      I push articles to 300+ sites and never had a problem. Like other said, the search engines will not find all those on the same day. Not even the same month!
