AMR

I have a couple of questions regarding AMR.

Can you submit to too many article directories and it have a negative effect on your site? I only submit to about 600 article directories as I didn't want to overdo it as I intend to submit more articles later with anchor text links to the site. Should I just submit to every article directory possible?

How long after submitting an article, should you create the live links report? Once you have the live links, is pinging the links sufficient to get them indexed or should you create an RSS feed?

  • I haven't see any negative effect due to AMR blast on my sites. But, I had read somewhere in other SEO forum that one particular guy complaining that after an AMR blast, his site suffer a dive in SERPS (I'll try to look that thread, and shoot you a PM later on).

    As I keep trying to vary my backlinks as much as possible, I don't believe a well written articles and varied anchor texts for an AMR blast will do anything but good toward my sites:

    1. Only a couple hundreds of article directories are auto approve in AMR database. Giving your site already have a few numbers of decent backlinks, it shouldn't be viewed as "un-natural". Although, it still be debatable.
    2. Your articles will spent sometime before become live due to directories' admin moderation. Well, some good amount will never "alive". This will act like drippable backlinks.
    But, then again I let someone else do the blast for me (found him on fiverr). I just do my part to make a "decent" article in spintax format .
    Blast away my friend, blast away.

    Ps. I know someone who own AMR that schedulled his blast, like 50-100 directories a day. You might want try this approach. I haven't heard any result from him as he just started doing this approach.
  • I have AMR too and think that doing a full blast is not going to be a problem as not all your links are going to get indexed as soon as you submit them.

    As for when to collect the live links, some will be live straight away but most wont. I would say leave it a few days before collecting them

    Once you have collected the links you could ping them, bookmark them, scrapebox them, submit more articles through AMR pointing to them, xrumer. Any form of backlinking can do point them to your articles. this will help with indexing and make your articles more authoritativeness, giving you a stronger link juice from them.
  • Only a few days? I've heard that some AD's take about 1 month to approve the article.

    When you create the live links report, is there a way to make it so it only puts the articles which have been approved in the report? As there is obviously no point in pinging links which haven't been approved.

    • Well, there is kind of a point of diminishing returns - no sense in waiting a month. I wait maybe a week, tops, before collecting up the links.

      To answer your second question, if you export the Livelinks in CSV you can load them up in Excel and then sort by Status so you get all the Approved ones grouped together.

      In terms of strategies, generally I prefer to drip those links out, maybe even on an hourly schedule, in such as way as I know I will get a handful a day. I think with AMR the problem is not so much all those links blasting your site off the face of the SERPS, it's the fact that they have been devalued in some way, and especially you can't really reuse them on the same site to much effect, at least that has been my experience. Once you have used up all your directories on a site that's about it. So I like to use them nice and slowly, not blast them for some temporary SERPS gain, because on higher-competition keywords that might be all the benefit you get from AMR.

      So you have to come up with interesting strategies with AMR - I am still working on that. Set up tier 1 "Web 2.0" properties and blast them with AMR. Or only blast your site with the high-PR directories and then blast THOSE links with the lower-PR ones.

      Like I say, I am still working out the best strategy with AMR as I still think it is a great tool but you have to find what works for you.

  • You can't really do damage to your website by submitting to too many directories because otherwise you could damage your competing sites.

    But submitting too unnaturally, ie; thousands of articles in one day, then the search engines may realize what you are doing and discount all of these links.

    Best thing to do is submit naturally, no matter what automated software you use.

    • It doesn't really matter how much you submit.. but it does matter how consistent you are.

      If you are submitting 600 in a day... do so every day.

  • Solid advice from the person that provided the first response.

    One thing that I like to do is make my links spinnable for my site. Meaning that I'll add in just about every variation of keyword matched with their respective pages on the site that I'm linking.

    That way the links that do go live will have a variety of anchor texts and links pointing to the internal pages and not just the homepage. I've had the best results with AMR when implementing this strategy.
  • May i ask if you do article blasting, do you point it to your money site? Or you also point some to articles that you have done before? Which is more effective?

    Thanks.

    • pointing decent links to previously posted articles is a waste of links imo
