    Guest posting for the win :-)
    By the way this question has been asked previously on warrior forums (and that too by you only) : http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...ting-best.html

    A healthy mix of all kinds of links. If you only have one type of links, that is hardly natural.

    Guest posting for me. But as mgreener said, you need to have mixture of all type of links to make it appear natural to Google.

    Diversity is important in SEO, so getting links from both of these sources is ideal, though guest posting may provide more weight in terms of link juice and reputation.

    +1 for guest posting. Article directories lost their power in the farmer update. Anyway, there's so much content submitted there on a regular basis that your articles are pushed down by new articles the same day you posted them. They will not get a PR, so there will not be a long of link juice flowing your way.

    Depends where the guest post is being placed. On a domain with no traffic, no PR, and the page it will appear on has no PR, a guest post is just as worthless as an article in an article directory.

    Ezinearticles is still worth the time. But guest posting on high PR blogs is superior.

    You can actually kill two birds with one stone..

    Here is what i mean..

    Write an EZA article standard on a hot/controversial/attracting topic and
    syndicate it to top traffic sites like article directories, web 2.0, blogs e.t.c
    and you will get link not only from the sites you submitted your article to
    but you will have a high chances of having your content published on high profile
    blogs, webmasters e.t.c what i consider an automatic guest post.

    Rinse and repeat..

    Don't forget to mix it with other link building methods and build tier 2, 3 links
    as well.

      Did you mean to publish my blog content or create another content?

    You can publish your same content or have another one written and republished.

    I found it more effective when i have a unique article on several sites other than mine.

    Also, many sites do not accept content published on your site, there are tons of sites you can use anyway and the more unique the better.

    Normally, what people do is publish it on their site first and when it's indexed they syndicate to other sites..

    Guest posting > article directories

    Yes, the PR of the page is also something you need to look out for.

    • Guest posting works better than article submission. If you post content on a quality blog or website in your niche, the link you will get will be more valuable than one from article directories.

    The only advantage of guest posting from article directory is that you surely submit your article to related niche or website. And if the blog/site where you submit your post is already authority and have audience then it may help your site to get traffic and be noticed by the follower of the said site.

    Without thinking guest posting is the best but article directories are good for anchor diversity.

    I think guest posting will be powerful for link building. In the article directory many of the directory site accept you site and put your link in the no follow format. That means your links not counted by google or other search engine. In the guest posting your post also have some value if you write post with unique content. Thats why my vote is for guest posting.

    Articles are worth nothing if they are not original, well developed content. If this is the case than a healthy mixture of both.

    If you write a guest post then it posted into a blog with high traffic, your guest post will get plenty of unique visitors, so your site will get traffic (you put the link into the guest post).

    e.g: 1,000+ unique visitors per guest post.

    Obviously, guest posting will win. But mixing other kind of link building techniques will make your SEO natural.
