Article Submissions Are Worthless For SEO in Google?
- SEO |
My experience with a few sites tells me that article marketing isn't an effective method for ranking better in Google. Actually I think the SEO effect from Web 2.0 is negligent as well. I've found the Web 2.0 to outrank my own sites without any promotion.
Why do I think this?
Because after a few months and around 100 articles across the top 10 article directories, my one site is ranking in the top 3 in both Bing and Yahoo, while ranking 11 in Google.
To add to this, a competing website that is younger than mine (only 4 months old) takes up the 5'th spot with basically only ONE link (a sitewide link from a high pr blog).
It's only after I began doing some high pr forum profile linking that I am seeing results.
My basic conclusion is that article submission for backlinking is near worthless in the long run with Google, as is Web 2.0, low pr blogs etc, while Yahoo and Bing seem to be more about the number of backlinks.
I wonder if Google is still mainly about getting (real) high PR links. From what I have read and from my own experience it would seem that way. And the logical conclusion would be, if maybe it wouldn't be better to just shell out $50 or so for a real high pr link, instead of wasting hours making them yourself. Then do some blog commenting for variety.

If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
