Panda update and AMR's value

Hi Scott,

AMR is good but the database of thousands of directories is the question mark here.

I was warned 2 - 3 years ago that article directories would lose their effectiveness because they were being spammed with content that was absolutely worthless but being approved anyways.

So the question is: Does submitting to thousands of directories with no PageRank or TrustRank matter anymore?

The honest answer here from my view is a solid No.

Does that mean that article marketing is dead? Absolutely not. It's still a valid method of organic traffic generation and can and does help somewhat with rankings. It's just not the magic bullet that it used to be - especially not blasting 4,000 directories in one go.

I own AMR and the product is good but the interface is clumsy to say the least and I'm not sure how long development of this product might last.

I'm thinking of swapping over to Article Marketing Demon simply because the design is better and they don't seem to focus on blasting to thousands of (often dead) article directories like AMR. Their focus seems to be more on the few quality directories that are left.

On a separate note I only use products like AMR now and again for mass submissions. Apart from that I manually submit to EZA, Goarticles, Articlesbase and a few others for backlinking. Why? Because they're the only ones that I wind up seeing in my backlink reports in the long run.

Hope that helps :-)

That explains very well but people do look for instant success there days.

I think Nia hit the nail on the head - it's still useful if used for submissions to the quality article directories left, but less effective when used for massive blasts to dead article directories. It's all about constantly refining your list of directories. If you can automate a process that would otherwise take you a whole lot of time, then in my mind it's still worth the one time fee.

Is directories submmet are not helping SERPs Ranking ?

i use AMR , i dont see big ranking result, but when i look to find my new pan name on google - it show me big list of places that my articles that i send with AMR are indexed good.

the main factor is the same duplicate content to many sites this is main disadvantage on the other hand in manual work u can spun article

Im using AMR and doing some submission every day and im steadily going up on serps

Automated submission will not helps you in getting good position on search engines. Its better if you do it manually.
