Questions related to Article Syndication

Got a few questions about article syndication.

- Do you use aweber for your syndication lists or just a normal email client? If Aweber; Do you use single or double-optin after they accept to receive additional articles?

- What do you do if you wan't to put a couple of images within your article when sending it to your list? How do your list know where to put them? Do you just attach the images?

- Where do you put your backlink when sending articles to your syndication list? You create a bio box too or do you just put it somewhere in the article body?

    Hi Kenneth,

    This thread discusses some of your questions, and is pretty interesting (I learned a lot from it and recommend it - especially Paul Myers' contributions): http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...mith-myob.html

    I wouldn't dream of asking them to "opt in" to anything at all. I don't say it couldn't be done at all, but it's not what I'd want/expect to do, myself.

    I've never done this.

    I need, for convenience, as far as possible (though it isn't always possible), one standard copy of an "outgoing article" which I can send unchanged everywhere I'm sending it. I don't see how that could be done with images. I suspect the proportion of people/places on my syndication-list for which images would be appropriate, desirable, welcomed and of any value to me is so tiny as not to be worth thinking about at all. Even most of the webmasters on my lists (rather than the ezine publishers etc.) aren't often going to want images to be supplied with an article, I think. It might be different for someone in the Renaissance Painting niche (and some others), I appreciate.

    Normally at the end of the article. I don't think of it, myself, as a "bio box" or "resource-box": it's just "the end of the article" ... but it amounts to much the same thing, really.

    I hope the thread linked to above is helpful to you.

      I was just going to cue Alexa lol.

      Alexa - you should just get all of this article marketing and article syndication together from all of the amazing posts/threads you've had and contributed to then create one awesome sticky. Save yourself a good amount of time.
