What is the best way to use my articles?

13 replies
Following up on a number of suggestions I have written 10 new 500+ word articles on my niche. Based on my reading it seems like there are a number of things I can do with them. My question, though, is how should I use them to best increase the traffic to my site?

Should I just publish them to Ezine Articles?

Should I just publish them on other article directories like GoArticles or FindArticles?

Should I just place them on Web 2.0 sites like Squidoo and HubPages?

Should I just publish them on my site?

Should I spin them and do all of the above?

Should I do something else entirely?

Also, is it best to publish a batch of articles all at once or spread them out over time?

And if I should spread them out, what's the best interval? Once a week?

I'd really appreciate learning what's worked for you in the past to increase your organic search rankings and bring more traffic to your site. Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

    If your site is established and gets indexed regularly by the major SE's, put 'em on your site. Then get links to them on EZA, web 2.0, social bookmarks, etc. Be sure to link to them internally at your site, too. A good tip is to make them no more than 3 or 4 (at most) hops from your homepage. Internal linking structure is a big key with new content.

    If your site is new or fairly new or has been sitting a long time without any new activities going on, I'd submit them to EZA, wait for approval, then submit to some other directories. Make sure the author box has a strong call to action and use keyword rich anchor text in the link(s).

    If you have time and the impetus, create a Squidoo lens, Hubpage, etc. and point some links to that content (wherever you decide to put it). That'll get it some link love in Google, Yahoo, etc.

    Do all of them. Every bit of effort will return back to you as more traffic.

    Plus, make a short PDF report off them and submit to free ebook directories, upload to file sharing sites (choose attractive filenames).

    Create videos from each of them and submit to 30+ video sharing sites.

    Strip out the audio to generate a podcast and submit to podcasting directories.

    Submit your site feed to RSS directories.

    Don't forget to...

    - Put the articles on a/your blog and ping at places like pingler.com.

    - Submit your blog posts to blog carnivals:

    - Submit to ISNARE.com : ($2) Get traffic and backlinks to any page you like.

    - Don't forget to ping every rss feed where you content resides such as hub and squidoo pages.

    Re-purpose your content to stretch it out as much as possible.

    Once you have an article accepted at Ezine Articles and your url changes, can you edit the article with the new url so that it points to the right website?

    Personally I would do what Zeus66 says, however I was thinking, if you have 10 articles written why not compile them into an Ebook and sell it as well? If the niche you are in is in demand that could bring in some extra cash for you.
