What should I do with articles?

Banned 11 years ago

If you can submit them to other websites in your niche with a link, that would probably be your best bet. If not, you could submit them to the directories or make a link wheel with them.

wait, why don't you just send it to your subscriber? even if you submit it to an article directories, we know it is not very effective anymore. If you want to find someone who will buy your article, I wonder how will you find that person. I think you should just save it, until you have run out of idea, then you can post it your subscriber.

Thanks

Who said article directories weren't effective? There are some people that still rely on them today. It's all about doing it the right way.

If they're not, then it doesn't really much matter what you use them for anyway, I think? :confused:

Whether article directories are "effective" depends on what you try to use them for: if you use them for their intended purpose, then they're very highly effective indeed, probably more so now than ever before.

If you try to misuse them for their own traffic and/or for their own backlinks, as many people do who don't understand how they work, then of course they're a waste of time.

Would you trade the SEO benefits resulting from having the article published first on your website for targeted traffic coming from a 50,000-subscriber newsletter in your niche? I'm not talking offering an article just for them, but let them have it published first.

I'd want to know the open-rate and responsiveness of those alleged 50,000 subscribers, and talk independently to other people who had done that in the same place about their experiences of it. It's something I've never done, but I'd probably be willing to consider it, if I were really satisfied that more benefits were genuinely more likely from doing that than from what I'd do instead of it.

Hmmm, are those indexation rights so important? :confused: I really thought it would be a "no-brainer" and give them the rights to publish it first.

To me, it isn't about only whether the initial indexation-rights are so important (I dare say they're not, for one individual article): it's more about the entire underlying principle of whether or not I'm willing to give someone previously unpublished content. Paul has made a number of posts on this subject, in earlier threads, explaining why he simply won't do it. I don't want to try to offer a filtered/second-hand summary of his thoughts on the subject, but I think those conversations will interest you, if you can find them (I can't, at the moment, I'm afraid ).

Try it, if you want. For myself, I'd first want to know the open-rate and responsiveness of those alleged 50,000 subscribers, and to talk independently about their experiences of it to other people who had done that in the same place.

  After re-consulting with some threads dealing with this matter, and seeing other article marketers having their already published articles accepted despite this requirement, I've changed my mind: I will send them an already published article, and see what happens.

  There are a number of advantages for publishing new articles on your site first. Besides the SEO benefits as mentioned (which have no significance whatsoever in comparison to my syndication network), the leveraging potential extends far beyond "first indexation rights" to include increased credibility, authority, market positioning, more exposure for syndication, etc.
  
  In my opinion, there is seldom any reason for offering first publication rights or unique "original content" to anyone. This link may be one of which Alexa may be referring to:

  I love to use good articles for to turn into video.
  Use them also for article directories, have them re-written and use on your blog
  or break up and drip feed to your subscribers and monetize them.

  No - sorry, but this one part of what you've said really isn't right at all. Two important things to be aware of, here ...
  
  (i) Always publish them on your own blog/site first and have them indexed there before submitting them anywhere else (so that your site, not someone else's, is the beneficiary of the accumulated initial indexations), and ...
  
  (ii) Don't have two different versions (one re-written from the other) on your blog and in article directories, but use exactly the same copy in both places (with the addition of just a resource-box, for the directory), because otherwise you're effectively giving an article directory initial indexation-rights to previously unpublished content, clearly not something you'd ever want to do (for all the reasons explained throughout this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html ).
  
  In other words, take the original for yourself and let the directory have only a syndicated copy: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

  Yes - very useful way of re-using the material, here: certainly worth doing.

You definitely should publish them on your blog, then submit them to directories, squidoo, hubpages, etc. Build your own empire not some else's.

There are a number of things that you can do. You could join groups on Facebook that is connected to your articles and post them there. You could submit them to article directories. Be a guest blogger on a popular blog site that pertains to your niche. Post them on Webn 2.0 sites.

Depending on the quality of the articles the best bet would be to publish them as guest posts on someones blog with a backlink to your site.
