I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this topic - this confuses me greatly! :confused:

I was wondering which would be better to do submit my articles that I've written to individual Article sites or an Article Submission Site?

Are the individual sites better for submission?

Or since the fact that with the Article Submission Sites offer many more sites that this is a better option?

And then would it be a good idea to go to the sites that are not in the list of sites that the article submission site doesn't submit to and submit them individually?

And then I was reading somewhere that it said that it was not a good practice to submit the same article to different sites as it loses value when you do that - is that correct?

And if that is correct then wouldn't a submission site not work as well as individual sites?

Thank you Very much for your time in advance!

Depends. If you have a budget at all, using article submitter works fine, but you'll still need to submit to other top article directories:

Ezine articles (not sure if AS still submits there or not)
GoArticles
Articledashboard
IdeaMarketers
ArticlesBase

Good luck!

Hi,

Goarticles.com is another good one as they allow affilaite links....

Take care

EZA is good because the articles only have to be 250 words (as opposed to 400 words for most directories) to get published allowing you to write more.

SubmitYourArticle.Com only allows 8 articles per month, but you can use their patented Article Leverage Program to quickly create hundreds of unique articles out of each version. This gives you a better chance of being published more often with thousands of version each month. This is what I use.

If the purpose of your articles is to generate back-links, then I would recommend using the free traffic system - see thread http://www.warriorforum.com/plug-pro...generator.html

When you submit your article it is prettymuch guaranteed to get published on at least 30 blogs of your choosing. They have an inbuilt article spinner which once you master it is very easy to use. ......for a fuller explanation there are videos etc on their site.....and it is free to join and use.

I agree with Graham. I also use Free Traffic System to get backlinks from other people's blogs too!

[Graham Maddison]

Something I never realised until now, is that free traffic system will for a small fee, write articles for you and will spin them and submit them for an additional fee.

If you click on the link Need Keyword Help? on the article submission page it takes you to a page with details of the service. They will also do keyword research for you.

Worth checking out.

Yes and no.

Article submission is okay, but you don't want to submit the exact same article.

You may want to slightly rewrite it for another site. In other words, take your basic article points and reword them so that it says the same thing but things like search engines and other sites and things like that don't think it's a duplicate. It'll get seen more that way too.

WOW - Thank you all for such GREAT advice!!!

One more thing I was wondering - I belong to a bunch of bookmark sites, is there really much value in posting to them?

I use Bookmark & Share - The Power of the Button | OnlyWire a lot and then Ping-o-Matic! when I update by blog?

Is there a better option than those?

Thanks again for the great advice,
Ron

When you are doing your article marketing, make sure you have at least 3-4 rewrites of each article, all with the same message and same number of paragraphs. Then use the article spinners and submit individually to the top ones like EZA and goarticles. Make sure your backlinks and resource boxes are written well and use numerous ones with your articles to make them unique.

I think both...

[Stardelights]

I have an account with goarticles and I also have one with Dropjack to go along with it - How effective are they together?

Is there something similar to Dropjack on some other article sites too? I just barely signed up with Dropjack and haven't used it much - but if it's effective maybe I'll have to play around with it some more!

Thanks,
Ron

yeah, submitting unique article to 5 sites is better than submitting single article to 50 sites. always rely on quality.

I take articles from my subscribers - the e4u Newsletter - over 12,000 subscribers - publishing for 11 years.

I like the shorter ones - the long ones are just glanced over (so my subscribers say) - but the shorter ones are read many more times.
