Submit to multiple article directories

by jamiebisson
11 replies
I have noticed that there are multiple sites out there that claim to be able to send your articles, which are kept in spintax form with the service provider.

My question is this:

What is the best program / site / service provider that will send my spun articles to quality article directories?

Ideally I would love a free service (who wouldn't), but paying for a good service is probably more likely.

My concern is that getting a service to automatically send articles to sites that are not quality may have negative effects on my SEO.

Also having a dribble effect would probably be advantageous I guess.

Any thoughts people?

    There's no benefit at all from doing this, Jamie.

    These services exist for the "benefit" of people who don't quite appreciate how article directories work, I'm afraid. Multiple article directory submission is pointless, and without benefits. It's all explained, in great detail, in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

    These days, having your articles spun and auto-submitted to large numbers of article directories will only get your sites heavily penalized by Google for "overoptimization". This has already happened to large numbers of Warriors, and they've been told expressly and openly by Google that this is the reason.

    Don't even think about it.

    "Spinning" is also completely without value. It can damage your business, but it can't help you. Everyone who actually makes a living from article marketing (rather than from supplying spinning software or services) says the same things about spinning. And there are reasons for that.

    For people open-minded enough to read them, these six items explain much more, at greater length and in greater detail.
    • this post explains the benefits of spinning
    • the first half (or so) of this thread contains a good discussion of what you can gain from spinning articles
    • the advice on this subject given by so many people throughout most of this thread has been really helpful to many people here
    • on the meaning and significance of "duplicate content", in this context, this little post from expert article marketer Anne Pottinger includes direct quotations from Google's WebMaster Central Blog on the subject (not easy to find a more authoritative source than that!)
    • this little article is also a very useful and accurate explanation of the subject
    • this post, and its links, explain in detail the closely related subject of how article directories really work and why they exist

    Yes ... it will help you greatly to appreciate what the purpose is of submitting your articles to one or two article directories. It has nothing to do with getting traffic from the directory (no article marketer would want their potential customers going to an article directory rather than coming straight to our own site!) and in the case of multiple submissions, the backlinks are not only valueless but poisonous.

        Yes, totally wrong, I'm afraid. Even as long ago as 2010, before all the Panda updates decimated the ranking potential of article directory backlinks, that was no longer true. I think you've been getting "information" from somewhere that's terribly out of date.

        These days, after the Penguin update, those backlinks are poisonous. If you have enough of them, they will get your site heavily penalized.

        Article marketing isn't an "SEO technique" anyway - it's a traffic generation method in its own right.

        If you really want SEO traffic (which is pretty poor-quality traffic, in the overall scheme of things), you need quality backlinks from relevant sites. Not mass backlinks from automated/spammy/mass submission.

        "Numbers of backlinks" and "page ranks" are barely relevant, any more. We can all see for ourselves from Google's SERP's the ever-increasing regularity with which lower-PR pages with fewer incoming backlinks are outranking higher-PR pages with far more incoming backlinks. Rankings are primarily about quality and relevance, just as Google has been saying they would be - not about page ranks or "numbers of backlinks". There are still some people in a state of denial about that, though. Two main groups of them: the ones still trying to sell "backlinking services"/"automated submissions" and the graduates of the "Urban Myth School of Internet Marketing".

    In my opinion,
    submit Unique article that have a value for reader to big article directory is enough.

    If you focus on reader which mean your article can solve their problem.

    Other people will share automatically for you.
    They will share via socia media like facebook, twiiter.
    They will share in their website.

    Those will generate natural backlink for you.

    Keep focus on your customer, find what they looking for, and write article by yourself or hire outsource do for you.

    Yes, there are services that does that, one is MyArticleNetwork, TrafficKaboom, ArticleRanks, to name a few. If you resort to this kind of article submissions, you must have your articles spun in an excellent way that each content is highly unique from the other and it must be grammatically correct.

      I give in. Yasir, do you ever read a thread before you reply to it?

        so, that leaves me a bit perplexed..... if backlinks are not key to getting up the rank and pages in Google (amongst others), how is it supposed to be done?

        I have made a couple of videos and have multiple social media sites that I have posted my links on.... I have tried Facebook ads, blog commenting, niche forum commenting, but still the traffic is not substantial and i am placing around 250 in my keyword rank so far. It is not a competitive keyword...... My site started at the middle of September.

        I am a bit puzzled.

        Thanks for your comments so far Alexa

          Nobody said that backlinks aren't a key to that.

          But mass, auto-submitted, spammy backlinks from multiple sites with no specific relevance to your own are not the key to it. And will get you penalized.

          As explained above, and at some length and in some detail in the threads linked to above, backlinks of relevance and quality are key to that.

          Even as long ago as 2009/10, the authors of the standard, accredited SEO textbooks were explaining in some detail why one backlink from a relevant, quality site would typically give you the link-juice equivalent to that from 50,000 - 100,000 article directory backlinks. These days, that's even more true than it was then, with the added "bonus", since Google's "Pegnuin update" that having 50,000 - 100,000 article directory backlinks will eventually (as so many Warriors have already found out to their great cost) get your site heavily penalized by Google.

      Google seems to getting more and more strict with regards to backlinks.

      To my long-term strategy now is to only get backlinks from 100% unique content.


      I also only place my content on highly relevant websites, that way Google will see people visiting my site after reading my high quality content.

      I'm sure that if Google can see that you are receiving traffic from other relevant websites from your backlink this must affect ranking.

      That's why I've moved away from mass submitting articles to web 2 sites and article sites and now prefer to do guest blog posts.

      In the long run 10 high quality 100% unique articles placed on highly relevant websites will get you 10 times more traffic and backlink juice than 500 spun articles on completely irrelevant websites.

    I only ever see my articles in the search results from ezine articles, go articles and articlebase. I think all other directories are pretty worthless.
