Article Marketing and Content Question

by 8 replies

I am pretty new to everything and I am learning a lot. I was curious about article marketing. When I write articles I only submit them to one site, I mix them up between ezine and goarticles and use the resource box for the linkback. What does everyone else do? Do you submit one article to several article directories?

I was also reading that people put the article on their site so their site has more content and then they submit it to the articles directories. But I also read having duplicate content on your site is bad for seo. Then I was looking at treatmentcenters.com and looking at their blog and all they do it take articles from other sites. They don't have an original content in their blog and they are rank #1 on google for treatment centers.

Any help, suggestions or explanations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

  • Kind of kills the myth of duplicate content, doesn't it?

    Personally, I don't do article submitting anymore. I have gone to making
    authority sites, keeping my articles to myself.

    To help build authority, toss a couple of throw-away articles
    to ezinearticles, goarticles, whatever-articles, but concentrate
    on your own site with your own stuff. Build a few high quality
    backlinks. Your site should be your #1 priority, not article sites.

    • Put your work on your own site first. Once it's indexed, then you can submit that to directories (and I would do a few, not just one, with maybe a title change).

      It's not duplicate content, it's syndicated content. Plus, even if it were duplicate, it wouldn't be on your site because you had it first.

  • Smart move.

    Also - I'm doing article marketing for a client now. I am putting multiple articles are various article directories. These are articles directly from his site. We get some decent referral traffic from interested, potential customers.
