Please suggest me auto article submitter?

Hi Carl,

Interesting to hear about your SEO experiments.

I'm the wrong person to answer this, I think.

But ... other things that I know have helped me with rankings have included blog commenting on relevant blogs (I don't check their page-ranks or whether the link is no-follow, because they all help me if they're relevant - for traffic as well as for SEO), guest-posting on relevant blogs (it's very similar to content syndication, the way I do it), forum commenting/conversing in relevant forums, and answering questions at Yahoo answers (that one needs a strange combination of skills, experience and luck!).

I don't curate content.

I'm not aware of any particular downside to pinging your blogs (but I don't do it myself - I have done in the past).

I do some SEO, because my articles get widely syndicated to relevant sites, it costs nothing except the time, and I'd feel silly not bothering at all. I choose keywords of low-to-medium and medium competition. I used to use Google "Wonder Wheel" and thought it was widely underrated. Now that it doesn't exist any more under that name, I use Google "related searches" which gives exactly the same information under another name. I've sometimes used their "free external keyword research tool". I assess and select my keywords by looking at the site quality and especially the SEO quality of the top 5 ranked sites for each keyword. I don't care at all how many "competing sites" there are - it makes no difference at all to me if my 5 competitors are followed by 995 other sites or 99,999,995 other sites. I indentify the keywords I think I can rank for, and use them at the start of the titles of my articles (which are widely re-published on relevant sites). I don't look at "LSI keywords" at all because, to me, "LSI" is just a fancy way of saying "the kind of vocabulary which you can't avoid using when you write an article about something" anyway.

I find it pretty easy, overall, to "assess the competition", but it was a learning curve, like anything else. Quality sites with quality backlinks from respected, highly relevant, quality sites are going to be far harder for me to outrank. I like to find other affiliates' sites with huge numbers of non-relevant backlinks, sites of people that look like their owners have bought backlinking services on Fiverr, sites that look like they've done any sort of mass/automated backlinking at all, because long experience has taught me that even a little bit of article syndication will quickly overtake all of them in the SERP's. I can now tell instinctively (albeit not totally reliably!) what's a site belonging to a Webmaster who has a "quantitative approach" to SEO, and of course article syndication has no problem outranking them at all. People whose SEO is based on "numbers of backlinks" and "page ranks" are easy for even me to beat. People who have backlinks from quality, relevant sites can be a different proposition, of course. We can all see for ourselves (from even minimal keyword research, or whatever) the ever-increasing frequency with which lower-PR pages with fewer but relevant backlinks from other lower-PR pages are consistently outranking higher-PR pages with more but irrelevant backlinks from other higher-PR pages, in Google's SERP's.

The Google updates ("Pandas"/"Penguins" and so on) have actually helped my sites rank so much, for so many keywords, that I get more than twice the SEO traffic after them, pro rata, than I ever got before them. It's still a minority of my overall traffic. My SEO traffic is of very significantly less value to me, per thousand visits, if I look at proportions opting in and buying things, than any other kind of traffic I've ever had. I'd hate to try to build a business on it. Just my perspective. (When I first started, I did try to build a business on it. That was a long time ago, when I did a lot more backlinking and bought SEO services and so on (for sites most of which I'm not even still using now). All of which helped me to appreciate that I never wanted to depend on Google for my primary traffic.

LOL, good luck with that - it will keep you off the streets!
