Article Writing or Building Backlinks - Which Is Better?

Hi

If you only had enough time each week which ONE of these would you spend you time on - article writing or building backlinks?

I know article writing drives traffic to your site and helps you get established as an expert in your field but I am only just in the early stages of learning about the value of backlinks.

I'd love to hear your views.

Best wishes

Mary

    You can get the best of both worlds by making blog posts. Wordpress blog posts with targeted tags can actually outrank the post itself. Therefore, you get more than one backlink, offer good content to readers and get very good "sticking" power.

      I think Vince offered some straight forward advice there!

    Submit articles to get backlinks. Then you can social bookmark the articles you've submitted.

    After you've submitted the articles, you can rewrite them for your website/blog.

    Actually, submitting articles to iSnare ... which goes on to a multitude of directories and sites, IS backlinking in itself. In fact, you can view some of the sites they submit to for you (only $2 a pop!) Isnare.com Publisher's Area

    Hi

    Well I'm already adding posts to my blog on a regular basis and also submitting same articles to EA but am not getting the backlinks.

    Sometimes I submit the articles to EZ first and then my blog - other times it's vice versa. After about a week or so I then post them to GoArticles.

    Maybe there's something not set up right on my blog?

    Best wishes

    Mary
