Article submission - one article per site, or one to all

[meaganandersen]

I have to suggest one article per site would be the best thing to do. This makes it more easier to deal with Duplicate Content issue.

I have read this post and am rethinking what I have been doing lately. I have previously been writing articles and using a decent indian off page SEO company to submit my articles or press releases to multiple article sites (50 - 100 sites usually)... and it has really helped drive traffic and push my site up for specific keywords.
When I think about duplicate content issues surely (and technically) only the 1st site that gets your article indexed by Google should benefit your website. So I may have been submitting to 100 article sites but its only the first site to get indexed that will actually benefit me... So I may do 100 submissions but will still only end up with a link or two from 1 site.
I may just change what I have been dooing.
Then again putting SERPs to one side having your article with links to your site on 100 sites can drive traffic directly from readers of the article site.

Does anyone else use a submission service that posts to multiple sites? What are the results you found.

We can submit same article to many websites and it will never be objected.If we have different article for all website then it will be costly and time consuming.So write one article and post it on many websites.

The issue isn't whether or not the article will be accepted, it's what has the biggest SEO benefit.

Ok then sorry for that.
If we submit same article to many websites then it will be less beneficial as compare to one article at one website.

I prefer unique articles, though a friend of mine promotes sites with the articles he copies from other sites and results are good. But no one can guarantee his sites do not vanish from google one day.

Can you give us a link to your friends site that does well getting articles from others?

In my opinion about the only good thing about articles submissions is the fact your page will get indexed quicker. If you have a new launched site this could come in handy. As for increasing your serps position - no way, not anymore.

One article for one article site, and i will spin the each article again and submit it in other article sites.

According to me, You can do one article per site would be good. I suggest you to do article spinning for more than one article submission.

[mancialanham]

I have a really bad experience with spun articles so now I use unique. I suggest you to follow my example.

I got the impression that the Panda update had quite a negative effect on article directories and therefore the value of the links - is it really still worth doing?

I think so, but I think the best method has changed. I'm starting to look at submitting unique articles to smaller niche directories rather than the big ones. Plus some guest posting. Just a hunch...

I did this some 2 years ago. Everything submitted was written by me from scratch. A lot of the articles didn't get indexed or counted as backlinks, you get a various amount of traffic but that's about it. If you are passionate about writing and want to submit, go ahead. Otherwise you are providing someone else with valuable content, and building their brand in an exchange for lousy number of visitors per month and a backlink that might get indexed might not.

Smaller directories will send you even less traffic and give you less juice. It's your choice I am just sharing what I've encountered. If you are going to devote time, effort and content make sure what you get in return is guaranteed and worthy.

Thanks, I'll keep a closer eye on the ones I submit and see if it seems worth it in a bit.
