Besides EZinearticles (which after article is approved and backlink shows up in a few weeks) which other article directories are good to submit your article, get it indexed, and get a backlink indexed as well to your site? I am not concerned about the traffic aspect of the article, but rather getting a high PR backlink pointing back to my site? I have submitted to Articlealley, Articledashboard, etc. before don't they don't seem to be indexed fast enough or if they do get indexed the backlinks never show up in yahoo explorer.

Any suggestions on which ones I should consider and not waste my time with other directories.

    GoArticles is solid, and the articles are approved instantly. ArticlesBase generally gets indexed, but approval may take up to 3 days. Amazines, like someone just mentioned, is also pretty good.

      Generally speaking, any HIGH PR directory... I just opened up an article directory at: Article Stomper Article Directory (I know, extremely ugly right now, design is VERY temporary) but that's a great DO FOLLOW link for you No PR though since the site is brand new, going to be doing a lot of seo for it though, good luck!

        Here is Articlesbase submission guidelines:

        "You may include up to 3 hyperlinks in your Author Bio (all anchor text links have the 'nofollow' tag)."

        So Are Searchwarp, Amazines, and Articledashboard all do follow or no follow? I know Ezinearticles and GoArticles are do follow in the resource box.

        So is it worth my time to submit to Articlesbase since it's no follow?

        Is there any way to them indexed in Google faster after they have been approved. It looks like GoArticles and Articlesbase do get indexed in Google without doing much, but what about the other directories?

        Anyone have a list of article directories that are do follow and get's indexed in Google fast as well?

      How long does it take to see those links show up in yahoo explorer when you do site:url?

    Ezine Articles still for me is the one that gets the goods. Fast indexing and high authority for Google.

    Dime-co.com does follow as well. (Just in case you guys didn't know). Its free and we do our best to approve pretty quick. (If I know you're from the warrior forum, I'll approve faster - hint: add beside your email-WF and I'll know you're from the warrior forum. No one sees that and we don't use the email field unless there's a problem).

There are also other good ways for creating back links, such as using facebook, twitter, social bookmark, YouTube, Craigslist to further promote your EzineArticle... One good thing about them is they are all free
      I've had good success with Ezinearticles before, but some of the new sites that I'm targeting are "4 word keyword" and Ezinearticles allows anchor text up to 3 words. I didn't know that before I setup some of the new sites so now I'd like to get articles submitted to other directories to get backlinks which allow greater than 3 word anchor text.

    "very dumb question but can someone define the difference between dofollow and no follow? "
    dofollow provide a link (recognised by the search engines, google, yahoo etc)) back to the sites that have a URL in the article - giving them a "vote" for search engine optimisation
    no follow don't - and only have the value of people clicking on the links in the article
    cheers

    ezine take so long to accept articles. does this improve as you write more articles? because i have been waiting 10 days as of today for a few to be approved.

    also another question, is it worth promoting the same anchor text in more then one article on ezine because my personal understanding was once you have a backlink from 1 site there is no advantage in getting another.....is this true?

      No it's not true. The only thing is that you should diversify and not always use the same anchor text to link to your site.

      Tip: Don't just link to your home page, but link to other pages as well.

      I will recommend that you submit your articles to as many article sites as you can. There are many automatic article submition sites available for free on the internet.

      The most impotrtant thing is that you have a good Bio to submit with your articles, and you can build your site links to this.
      I will also recommend that you also link your articles to a blog, and the blog linked back to your site.

      Just change the articles slightly for each article site. I use Goarticles a lot and they are very user friendly and do not have a problem for you to use HTML and links to your site.

      Remember it takes time for articles to get ranked and for you to see results.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on the number of directories to submit to? I have just used ezine so far, but I am new to article marketing. I wonder if I should submit to other directories too or is that mostly a waste of time (or perhaps even potentially damaging).

      Personally i hired a guy to subscribe two original articles to 30 websites and to be honest i didn't had much success. Is clear that google is chief and only do follow links counts. I have personally developed an article directory, on which i allow people too embed links within the article content and they are do follow. I only know seo basics, but i'm wondering why are the links on most article directories marked as "no follow"?

      If someone is curious to see my site or maybe want to post articles there here is the web address: s-article.com
