where to submit my articles?

Thank you Andrei. This is a great list

The most important place to submit your articles is your own site. Everything else is secondary to that.

I think this post, and especially the links inside it (some of which are links specifically to posts answering the question "Where should I submit my articles?") might be helpful: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

And post #6 of that same thread, right here, explains why it would be such a mistake to be in a situation in which your potential customer traffic reads your articles on someone else's site (e.g. in an article directory) rather than on your own site.

The page-ranks given with Andrei's list above (which is a mixture of article directories and non-directory article submission sites, which have entirely different purposes, functions and submission regulations) are PR's of those sites own home pages. That's great, if you ever discover a way to get your articles published on their own home pages ... but until then, your submitted articles, just like everone else's, will go on their own newly-formed, PR-0 pages. Websites don't "have page ranks": only pages have page ranks.

Also - one or two of the sites on Andrei's list no longer exist, now. And at least one of them allows no external links at all - not even in a resource-box, so that has no use at all to article marketers.

I don't, myself, look at whether places have "no-follow" backlinks, before submitting my articles to them, because I get great benefit from those links anyway, as many other article marketers do. This is a hugely misunderstood subject, but if it helps, there's an explanation (of sorts) about "no-follow"/"do-follow" in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5945931

I think you're a little confused between "article marketing" and "article directory marketing", aren't you?

There's no point in submitting articles to directories for the directories' own backlinks or traffic. This isn't how they work at all.

Article directories don't "have page rank" at all. Article directories are websites, and websites don't "have page rank": only pages have page rank.

You're referring to the PR of the directories' own home pages.

If you find a way of getting your articles published on their own home pages, then that'll be relevant. But until then, your articles (just like mine, and everyone else's) go on their own newly-formed, PR-0 pages.

I think that must be because the "results" you were hoping for depended on trying to use directories to attract traffic and/or to get SEO advantages from the backlinks, and that isn't what article directories are for.

Posts #2 and #6 of this thread would perhaps help you a lot: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ries-work.html

Uuummm... what duplicate content penalties PS? :rolleyes:

This is just nonsense.

There's no point in submitting any "spinned" (actually the past participle of "spin" is "spun") copies anywhere at all, but even if there were, why on Earth would the three article directories you've mentioned happen to comprise to some sort of exception to that?! It makes absolutely no sense at all.

I saw Squidoo on that first list, about 3 weeks ago they became No Follow as well.
