Linking

Would you link back to your "same" blog post in the articles you submit to the directories and mini sites? As well as linking to your site home page

Or


Would you link back to another similar article as well as your main site.



Taken Together, if I submitt the article, linked to the blog post and linked to my site then both the post and site would get backlinks from all the sites they are posted to?

If I post article on 50 directories and 10 minisites then my post gets 50 backlinks as does my site

Am I right?

    To another copy of what someone just read, you mean? No, definitely not!

    I might do that, yes. The "other similar article" wouldn't be too similar, though, and it would be on my main site so that they'd still get the prominently incentivised opt-in. As your site gorws, or even "grows", if you use your 2 links for your landing-page and one "inside page", then your landing page will get 50% of the backlinks, and the "inside pages" will get some each, but less than the landing-page. Which might be a good thing?

    Sorry, you lost me, here.
  • If I have a link in my article that goes to a post in my blog and that article is on 50 different directories does that mean 50 back links?

    • Yes, and this is a very good strategy for getting good quality contextual backlinks.

      A great strategy is to link to two different domains, this adds a little diversity and credibility to your articles and can essential backlink your backlinks to create stronger funnels into your money-pages.

      Here is the strategy that I find works very well for all my clients sites.

      I submit an original unique article to Ezines, and then spin it thoroughly to create hundreds of unique copies (that still read fluently) and submit to a few hundred directories per month.

      I then grab the link to the ezines article (and a couple of other high-pr domain articles) from the previous month and create a spin syntax to randomly link to one of these quality articles while also always having at least one link to the money-page.

      This helps index the backlinks and create stronger funnels the the site. It can also pass some great link juice when done correctly.

      Yes, it does mean 50 backlinks, but they'll nearly all be zero-pagerank, non-context-relevant backlinks, and collectively their value's actually very small indeed. (Don't forget that even in the so-called "high pagerank directories", your article will still start its life on a zero-pagerank page).

      I don't do that at all.

      Article marketing isn't about how many article directories you can submit to. It's about whether you can produce work of the quality necessary for other people to syndicate it from article directories to other, higher-PR, more context-relevant sites from which the backlinks are really worth something, so that you can gradually build up well targeted traffic and get opt-ins and sales through your site.

      That's where the money is.

      I'm not trying to negate what you're suggesting; simply trying to make the point that the people who end up here, a year later, starting the threads titled "Article Marketing Doesn't Work Any More" are invariably people who have done 'spinning' and mass submission to article directories (for their "50 backlinks", or "hundreds of backlinks", which don't actually help them very much!) and then don't understand why they haven't built up any real income from it.

      If you want to make a living through article marketing, it's essential to think well beyond article directories.

  • Great strategy, thank you
  • so, to build authority to your posts, and to rank in the serp you would spend your time establishing yourself as an expert in the field?

    What else would you do to rank your posts?

    tx alexa for putting some persective on this for me
  • The link will be low quality so I suggest you get links from sources with higher value.
