Comments on: Why writing articles for your website will set you apart http://mollermarketing.com/2007/05/08/why-writing-articles-for-your-website-will-set-you-apart/ Sat, 04 Feb 2012 02:34:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: BoozeMonkey http://mollermarketing.com/2007/05/08/why-writing-articles-for-your-website-will-set-you-apart/#comment-324945 BoozeMonkey Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:43:25 +0000 http://mollermarketing.com/2007/05/08/why-writing-articles-for-your-website-will-set-you-apart/#comment-324945 This is still good advice now as it was when you wrote it (nearly 4 years ago): get exposure and get backlinks, and writing articles is a great way to do it. Unfortunately though, there are a lot of no-hope article directories which have a zero PageRank (which won't help your SEO), so you need to write informatively (or your article may be rejected), you need to read the submissions policy (many will reject you if you add links in the body of the article, or if it's too long or too short) and you need to submit to a handful of choice directories (rather than submitting the same article to hundreds of useless directories). Our Australian wine community (did you see the plug coming?!) started life two years ago and within a few months we had built sizeable traffic and a decent PageRank, largely due to article posts. We're now serving 13,000+ page views per day and our wine reviews receive more traffic than any other wine site in the southern hemisphere. Article writing is well worth the effort.

My quick answer is this: Always submit your article to YOUR site first; then submit it to article directories. Vary up the content, including the title, to avoid duplicate content issues. As far as how many, I haven't ever really set a number. I guess it depends on the rules and regulations of the ezine directory you're submitting to. To me, some aren't really worth the time, either due to ILQ rankings (In-bound link quality) or regulations they have on content links or bio links using HTML. Again, my best recommendation is to change up the content and not submit the same exact article to thousands of directories. This is SPAM at it's finest and, in the long run, will not get you the SEO love you're looking for. Hope this helps! Good question Peter.

It seems that most people who promote IM are only in it to make a quick buck of us sucker newbies who fall into the trap of their copyrighting skills/lies. When will someone reveal the truth behind internet success? Nonetheless, my question is whether it's OK to use the same article on my site as the one I submit to the ezines. Also, how many ezines is it permissible to submit the same article to? I just recently found your site and I am curious as to your aim.

I really like ezinearticles.com too! Have you heard of Google Knol? Has anyone submitted to this site? Is it actually considered an article directory? Any feedback on this would be appreciated.
