Article Submission

[ADR International]

Can anyone give advise on article submission does this help with SEO?

[williamc]

Yes. But as with anything, there are right and wrong ways of doing it. Rather than ask a question that at least 1000 others have asked, try searching on this forum. You will find more than enough info on the subject, I am sure.

Yes this will help with seo,posting an article in your sites will updates your content and by submitting article in to various good article directories will increases back links for your sites and the credibility of the author's too.

Instead of submitting article to article directories, do publish it on your website or blog first.

article submission is the best way to get quality backlinks and traffic. your article should be ideally 400-600 words long with quality content. submit it to high pr article directories. try deep linking which is more beneficial rather than just linking to your home page with each submission. every page on your site will get equal link juice this way

I have done this in the past and had little success. The article directories rank high and it is easier to get an article on the top page of google if it is on an article directory rather than on a blog or website.

I believe one of the reasons posting questions that have been asked before is because a question posed here can bring more traffic and answers than a previous post did - new ideas, new findings. Another benefit of allowing people to post questions that have already been posted before is in relation to Google's real time search results. The last reason would definitely be because new posts create pages and as kgun points out in his signature: Conversations create communities and conversions create profit.

So...

I tend to stick to this method for the most part. I prefer having more control over my content and taking the long-haul out of building up my site's own page rank and credibility. Although I don't do as you indicated and post an article on my property and then post it on someone elses property later...If I do it's rare.

...your article should be ideally 400-600 words long with quality content. submit it to high pr article directories...

Not really. We can see a number 1 ranking website with nothing but three lines of copy on it...links back to the page matter most but I agree that it must be quality content because no one will link to garbage or spam.

...try deep linking which is more beneficial rather than just linking to your home page with each submission...

I agree. Go for many of your internal pages and from many links.

Not when the topic is one that has always had the same reasoning behind it.

Actually no, redundancy creates a community that dies, when the more intelligent posters all leave due to it.

As you've said the question has been posted a thousand times and WebProWorld.com is still alive and kicking.

The responses generated may be the same nick-naks we've heard in the past but it's that elusive discovery or change in concept that may creep into an 'out-dated' question. There could be something new out there that someone may wish to share via a response rather than starting a new thread.

And of that same possibility I ask, do you want them to digg through the thousands of posts on the same topic and respond to those? Probably not.

If it was a valid forum rule this post would have been moderated and/or deleted.

We're looking at the end results, the creation of new pages and new discussions. Maybe this post shed no new light on the act of directory submissions but that remains to be seen with this and all 'redundant' posts.

How to rank on Google today may be different than it was a few weeks ago...and so the question 'how do you rank on Google?' would be a valid question - again although it's been asked a thousand times.

I think my post above already covered this exception?
