Ariticle Syndication Gameplan?
I posted a thread here last night and more than a few people who responded mentioned that they do very little backlinking for new articles they write. From what I understood this wasn't necessary because their articles got effectively syndicated over time.
And this line of thinking has completely gone against the strategy I have been trying with limited success, which is basically writing long articles, submitting them to my site, pinging them, social bookmarking them, submitting to a handful of article directories, and sometimes a few document directories. After this, backlinking continues for the articles in the way of a bit of forum marketing, blog commenting, and further links through more article submissions.
And it's a lot of work.
But my question is this, because it seems like a great long-term strategy - how do people who use this kind of strategy get things off the ground in terms of targeted traffic and relevant backlinks from content-related sites? Does content syndication really bring in enough high-quality links to rank for your chosen keywords on the search engines?
As far as I can tell right now, the methods I am aware of to get site owner's to publish my content are to check my backlinks and see who has already published an article of mine and then contact him/her for more articles, and to use a place like Directory of Ezines, which I'm going to use myself coming up.
For those who do this, is there any more to it once the article is written?
