My Article got Syndicated, Now What??

Your ArticlesBase article is being automatically syndicated by wordpress sites using an autoblog plugin.

Frankly, those links are worth what you paid for them.

This is not syndication in the true sense of the word. What you are finding is a whole lot of sites that have the Article Base RSS feed (http://www.articlesbase.com/rss) on them that displays summaries of the most recently added articles. The sites that are showing up with your article summary on them were last indexed when your article was in the rss feed. Next time those pages are indexed by Google and your article is no longer in the rss feed your article will be nowhere to be seen.

You will find the exact same thing happen when you submit a press release to some of the most popular press release sites. You search your press release title a few days later and there might be hundreds, even thousands of pages with your press release on them - so you think. But search a few weeks or a month later and most of those references to your press release have since disappeared because all those sites were just using an RSS feed.

So unfortunately, I would not get too overly excited.

In Article Marketing, syndication is when another website takes your article from the article directory and republishes the entire article on their website. This is what you want and this is what brings the best results.

I think the problem here is that you were expecting something to happen from publishing one unique article at an article directory. You do article marketing to build backlinks, and usually the only backlink that really counts is the one in the footer of the original article you publish at the article directory. So what you did here was create a single decent backlinks. Don't count on any traffic from it, OR any of the traffic that ever comes from it to convert to much of anything. All it did was boost your online authority a VERY slight bit. Submit 49 more unique articles with links back to your site - and then you might see some improvement.

One thing to note here too, is that is you read from some of the most reputable SEO sources online (like SEObook, SEOMoz, Hobo SEO, etc.) they all tend to say that one of the most determinant factors in getting good backlinks is the number of relevant and reputable domains they come from. So (if it were me) I would worry less about submitting 49 articles to the same article directory with link to my site, and I would concentrate my efforts on submitting 49 original content articles to 49 different article directories.

Use this approach to vary your online marketing too, get as many different source domains for backlinks as you can with different methods. Article dirs, document sites, video marketing, social medial, blog commenting, directory submits, etc.
