# of article directories to submit to?

26 replies
I will be using an automated program to submit my sites im trying to generate a maximum amount of backlinks but at the same time i dont want to get sandboxed by google for spaming. Im thinkig if i submit 1 article to 50 directories a day it will be ok? Or is this number to ambitious. Any strategies on the amount of articles to submit per day and the # of directories to submit to without it looking like spam would be of great help.

      You've already been warned about posting these little "no sense" replies to build your post #'s. Try reading the topic question and reply if you have value to offer or do not reply at all.

      I do not know about or speak for others but when I see someone like you continually post BS, I have a little online BS black book and I add their names to it and know never to take anything you post seriously.

      Advice is only is as good as the willingness of the person to heed it.


      To Vanquish: I would suggest you do a search in the forum for topics related to your question. You may find more information in a search rather than waiting here for a reply.

      My opinion is if your content has value, why would you be penalized. If you are simply rotating content already floating around, I would be cautious. When I write I do not consider the possibility of repercussion since my content is always original and has value.

    My personal opinion is that you can submit to as many as you like, as long as you make it unique each time you submit it. To avoid drawing attention from google, I'd keep it down to less than 50 a week to start. You can always 'ramp it up' later when the site is rocking.

      I thought duplicate content was a myth. Ive read many stories of poeple submitting the same article to many directories and not getting a penalty.
      So i can submit 1 article each day to 40 article directories and do this everyday and not catch any heat from google?

      It's a mix.

      I submit one article to about 20 directories a day.

      Some are 100% unique
      Some are PLR

      I have my 'secret directories' which allow me to have 'links' within my article body.

      I use a free blogger blog for my resource box
      I use PLR articles (I just change the title and add in a couple of sentences here and there that DIRECTLY link my keyword to my blog or to CPA offer landing page which I cloak.)

      Results- I'll give you ONE- I'm averaging ONE SALE a day of ONE CPA product at $32.00 per sale.

      That's JUST ONE.

      My articles help me to get front page rankings in Google. As an example, I enjoy a top 3 rankings for the keyword affiliate marketing, and articles helped a lot.

      As for the original question, I submit to EZA and just 10 article sites.

      All the best,

      Franck.

          Isn't it beter to submit to more article directories say 25 per article to generate more backlinks in order to gain higher search engine SERP ?

            While it is true to have many articles posted you also do not want to limit yourself and leave money on the table..

            What you are missing is the way to come full circle, I wrote an eReport on this but it is not in the general public as only my members have access to purchase it.

            But let me give you some help here..

            1. Not all article directories are DoFollow, matter fact you would be surprised at the ones that are NoFollow. You need to keep this in mind.

            2. Not all article directories get traffic and not all are going to give your backlinks.

            3. Submitting to 1,000's of article directories is not only a waste of time and money but it is also a waste of server resources on both sides (the submission site and the article directory site).

            4. Bookmarking is very important part of this and you need not to leave it out. Bookmarking done properly can bring you a great deal of traffic and backlinks. Be aware some bookmarking sites are also NoFollow.

            5. Using Ping services also is a very important part of this as well as Rss Directories. You must submit to RSS Directories and use the Ping services.

            6. You need to make good use of your blog and if you don't have one, then it is time to get one and post your articles to your blog first.

            7. Please understand that Google is not the mother load... Many other places that can be used to generate traffic...

            There is much more involved then just submitting to article directories. I know there are many misleading websites that try to push this so-called dup content filter and tell you that you must submit to 1,000's of article directories but this is nothing more than hype to get you to buy their products or services.

    I think manual submissions to top five directories will do your job. All other will suck it up via RSS
    {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[555847].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author TheRichJerksNet
    You can submit to as many as you like and the so-called dup content is a myth... You can submit word for word or change it, your choice.. Personally I do both.

    With that said, realize and understand that thousands of article directories are a waste on time as they get no traffic.

    1. work on this list to begin with - List Of Top 50 Article Directories By Traffic, PageRank

    2. Again you do not need to change anything in your articles this is by choice only and yes I have tested.

    3. If you are working on backlinks by only submitting to article directories then you are leaving money on the table big-time. There is more to it then just submitting an article.

    4. be very careful of what submission system you use - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ubmission.html

    5. because I do not want to repost the same information, see here for additional reading - http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...tml#post551259

    6. Using the forum search function is a great way to find your answers..

    Thank you everyone for your insightful replies


    RichJerksNet: 3. If you are working on backlinks by only submitting to article directories then you are leaving money on the table big-time. There is more to it then just submitting an article.

    Besides backlinks my articles shoudl focus on ranking high in google and making sales? Can you clarify exactly what you mean when there is more than just submitting an article? Thanks


    Also can I socially bookmark my article on the same day as submitting it to around 20 directories. I was thinking of submitting 3-5 sb directories per day. Does this sound good?

    Just submitting to an article directory is not going to give you the full advantage. There is also bookmarking, rss feeds, pdf article submission, and etc...

    You should first and foremost make sure your article is posted on your own website/blog before posting it to article directories.

    Also just bookmarking is just that, bookmarking... Using others to bookmark your stuff with different accounts will give you much better results. In otherwords if you have an account on BookmarkTracker : Free online storage, management, synchronizing and RSS sharing of your bookmarks and bookmark your articles then it's ok but it is more powerful to have someone with several established accounts also bookmark those same articles on BookmarkTracker : Free online storage, management, synchronizing and RSS sharing of your bookmarks - This gives you a higher ranking then just you bookmarking it...

    There is more to this then just bookmarking also... Again as stated above there is rss feeds, pdf article submissions, and ping services that should be used...

    It is true. Google likes slow consistent build up of links over a period of time. If you build up too fast you don't get that much link juice.

    Pick up 25 best directories relevant to your Niche, submit over time, manual or software assisted (not automatic).

    Try varying a content somewhat for each directory, if possible, at lest the title. You may then submit to rest of the directories (100-200) by software (not automatic) assistance for extra juice.

    Alternately you may outsource it for inexpensive manual submission (contact me and I can share with you how to do it).

    Good Luck and God bless

      You are going to notice the same group consistently posting against multiple directory submission, this is their preference.

      Theory and opinions are nice and make for a great discussion forum.

      But this is all they are, theory and opinions.

      Be wary of those whom tell you that "this is the way it is", it usually isn't for everyone.

      I would suggest trying out both methods, then record your results.

      I submit to multiple directories, I do not spin articles whatsoever, I do very well as far as traffic and income.

      Good luck in your efforts.

    I think you can make as many submissions to other article directories as possible as long as you alter each one slightly to prevent the duplicate content filter banning some of your article submissions. Good post by James, I think its good to be wary and cautious of the bigger article submission sites as they have tighter submission guidelines, and tend to be a bit more picky in accepting article submissions.

    Thanks for the hep guys i really apprechiate the insightful replies

    I've been reading about google penalizing people for building links up to quickly if i submitted 1 article daily to the top article directories + bookmarked to the top 10 would doing this every day for two weeks and than stopping for a few days would that be enough to put me under googles radar for building links too fast?

    Vanquish,
    I think some people have you a little scared...

    * First post the articles on your blog or website and wait a few days..

    * Next submit those articles to the top directories..

    * While waiting on approval bookmark your site / blog (do 5 pages in the AM and another 5 in the PM) If bookmarking yourself just include an off website or 2 inbetween your submission of your site.

    * Once article are approved then do the same with the articles on bookmarking.

    You do not want to spam any bookmark site or anything but you do not have to be so scared that you bookmark 1 url a week either...

        If you are bookmarking other sites (your articles) then you can get away with 7 - 10 per day easily.. If you use a service such as I offer I can do 30 or 40 a day easily but I use many different accounts as I have well over 200 accounts...

        Just to submit to your own account though this is what I would say..

        In the AM grab up 5 article url's and go to CNN or some other news site and grab another 1 - 2 url's. Submit all 7 in the AM.

        Wait until later that day and grab 5 more + a few news of off-topic site url's and submit those in the PM

        Do this about every other day so you are not spamming the bookmark sites.. Spend some time on the sites also to maybe get a few friends, update your profiles and etc...

        Also be sure to include you own blog and site in there every once in awhile. Maybe include your site or blog about every 15 bookmarks or so just be sure not to use the same exact url's..

          Thanks i have bookmarked your service and will check out. Do the same rules apply for submitting articles to directories? Lets say 7-10 articles to the top 25 directories? Just want to make sure i have everything down good and dont end up getting penalized.

            Every article directory is different.. Some do not like to see more than 4 or 5 a day submitted, while others do not want you to submit more until the ones you have submitted have been approved. It is best to read the terms of each site you submit your articles to.

            Also make sure you know that these article directories are run by different scripts so when submitting learn how the submission process works. Example GoArticles.com when submitting an article it is best to use a double return between paragraphs, while ArticleDashboard.com looks good with only 1 return between paragraphs.

            It's always best to post one article first and see how it shows and if you do not like they way it is formatted then edit the article. After awhile you will get to learn what to do at what site.

    Would agree with Winson that you need to round it down to 5 top quality sites to submit to initially, and then think about expanding via a bulk article submission site. James also makes a good point in that you need to post your articles to your own blog first to get some movement in the search engines and test out the viability and quality of your articles! Test before you submit! Well worth checking out!
