How many articles to submit per month?

Thank you for your opinion. Yes, quality is important but i somewhat don't hesitate that everything will be fine about it. Now i start a bit sully questions but never did such things so:

About the submission lets say i have 1 article only and i submit it in 1 directory. OK. Can i then publish it in other directories /blogs and is this going to be good for me? The same question is about many articles and Google's experience - any risk to get problems with Google or become part of some spam site?

Also no matter i can post 1 same article to many places, or i have many articles - can i do the submission somehow automatically and without any risk about it?

I found a terminology like Google sandbox for blogs which something i don't like to experience - what are the reasons for that and how to make this never happen - may i submit as much articles as i like per month even 200-300, just asking?

Thank you

Thank you, really releasing information about numbers! My mistake with notions - i make no difference between article writers and copywriters and English is not my native language. However it depends a lot on the niche i think and mine is about selling clothes online.

Do you mean that submitting a huge number of articles per month is blackhat marketing OR the automated process with a submitter/spinner is blackhat marketing?

Thank you!

It depends on niche and where you post. The best part is conversion rate is niche specific.

It depends where you submitted them.

If you published them on your own site first and had them indexed there, and then submitted them to places that have targeted traffic for you (ezines and websites in your niche) then it's potentially excellent.

If you submitted them just to article directories and/or other places that don't have targeted traffic for your niche, and/or you didn't publish them on your own site first and have them indexed there, then it was probably a waste of time.

Are you writing for search engines to read your articles, or people?

Are you confusing article marketing with SEO?

I think 1% is a good figure. I don't count "keyword density" any more, because I'm an article marketer, so it isn't relevant to me, but I'm pretty sure my keyword density is very rarely above 1%, and I hope it isn't.

At Ezine Articles, if you try to submit an article whose keyword density touches 2%, you get an automated rejection without your article even getting as far as a human editor, because they're well aware that 2% is much too high. And they're right.

No. I wasn't. I was talking about new businesses, too.

Understand this point clearly: it doesn't matter much how many/few articles you have - what matters is how widely you can get them published in front of highly targeted readers.

500 articles that sit unread on your website and/or in article directories don't product any income at all. 1 article published in an ezine sent out by email to its hundreds/thousands of targeted subscribers, and/or re-published on a good quality niche site whose webmaster wants content for his hundreds/thousands of visitors to read, can produce hundreds/thousands of opt-ins and sales for you. It really isn't about how many articles you have. It's about what you do with them.

To as many places as you like, but you'll benefit only if the places are either places where there's targeted traffic for you, or places which are stepping-stones to further publication in other places that have targeted traffic for you.

You're rather confused about "duplicate content" and "unique content", I think. Appreciate that "duplicate content" is multiple copies of text-files within one website. Syndicated content (what you're referring to above) is totally different.

It's explained here: Article Marketers - Lay the Duplicate Content Myth To Rest Once and For All - Internet Marketing and Publishing Blog

How quickly Google indexes new content on your site depends on how often you update the site. Search engine spiders go through a learning process. They're slower to index at first. When you update regularly, they re-index regularly.

I update each of my sites 3 times a month (one new article every 10 days is plenty for all my content needs, in a niche). And Google regularly indexes my new content within 24 hours.

You can tell when your article's indexed simply by putting a 10-word chunk from it into Google, between "inverted commas": when it shows up in the SERP's, it's been indexed.

Also, the methods described in this timeless classic: Turn Words Into Traffic (by Jim and Dallas Edwards) have been working successfully for over a decade and still are, now.

I send potential re-publishers an article (just one, the best one you have that's most appropriate for their site), not a link to one. And not one that's published at EZA (yet).

I send it in an email, not as an attachment (which often won't reach their inbox and/or won't be opened), and I write a "covering letter" from their perspective, telling them why I like their site so much, what I got from it, what particularly interested me about it, why I think my article will be of particular relevance and interest to their readers, and so on. The initial email you send is the start of the relationship you plan to build with them, and as the saying goes, you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. It needs to be very carefully written. Put yourself in their position and ask yourself what would interest you most, and what you'd say "yes" to.

You don't need to post it in 10 - 15 places. Only on your own site. (Later, you can put a copy in Ezine Articles, too, to try to attract some further passive syndication).

The backlinks will have some value to you if the site is relevant to your site. Link-juice is determined primarily by relevance.

Just confirm with the writer that you're buying "the copyright". (This won't be a problem, as long as you clarify it).

If it helps, the basic model of "article marketing" is covered in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5035794

But make sure that the articles are written for syndication, otherwise they won't be syndicated on relevant sites and in relevant ezines, and you'll be back to "article directory marketing", which will not help you.

Only for myself: I'm "my own only customer" for writing. (I did once write articles for people, but not here, and that was over 3 years ago, now). There are many good writers here who understand what "syndication articles" are, and can supply them.

An "ezine" and an "article directory" are two totally different things.

Ezines are niche-targeted publications sent out by email to their subscribers.

The most well-known (and best) article directory happens to be called "Ezine Articles". It has this name because it's a depository of articles for ezines. (And these days for websites, too).

Some ezines do also have a website, and sometimes a copy of the ezine is archived online.

I'm not certain what you're asking about, here. If you're referring to the "Directory Of Ezines" (it's $197 for a lifetime subscription, not monthly), it gives details of ezines (not so much websites and blogs) and how you can get your articles published in them.

Ezine Articles (the article directory) is the last place to which I submit my articles myself (in the hope of further passive syndication from there, to other niche-relevant places), after first publishing them on my own site/blog and sending them out to everyone on my syndication list. My syndication list comprises both ezines and websites (including blogs). The details are in this post: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5035794
