Post subject: Article Distribution... how many of each???
|
 |
|
Hey all, I have just started doing article distribution, however, each article I write I am only submitting to one article publishing website.
I have heard that some people write one article, and send it to dozens of sites.
My question is...what is the benefit in this? Since google only will show the search results of unique articles, then why do this? Won't the article only show up once anyway?
Thanks,
Greg

Not everyone goes to all the article distribution sites to find articles, they stick to their favorites ... plus, you aren't posting on article distribution sites for their backlink, you are posting for exposure to webmasters looking for content ... with that in mind, posting to several article distribution sites gives you exposure to more webmasters looking for content, which, over times, means more links into your site, better brand recognition, and credibility.

Ok, Debs...I see what you are saying. However, why would a webmaster want to publish an article that already has been published several times on other sites?
From Googles eyes, wouldn't this just be a duplicate page, and not be found in Google?

It would be found under the link at the end of the SERPS ... 'duplicate listings removed, click here to see all listings'
The highest PR page is the one that gets listed in Google first vs. the other listings ... however, it also depends on what term was used when searching that brought up the results to begin with ... for instance, when I post articles written by others, I do an intro and sometimes a closing paragraph where I can focus the page to keyphrases I want optimized ... the article becomes filler  so my page may show up when none of the others do simply because of the focus I put on the page itself.
Also, you post articles done by others to benefit your visitors ... to offer varying viewpoints, more detail, etc. plus it's more content and an opportunity to be found. Google has a duplicate filter, but not every SE does, so while you may not get much for free traffic from Google on that page, that page could rank great on other SE's depending on how you present it and optimize it.

Ok Debs...I see what you're saying. Makes sense. So, I guess I'll get started in finding all the article submission sites, and sending my articles to them!
P.S. Any idea of where i can find a good list of such sites?

I think there is a list on here, use the search link at the top, and try a few searches.

Thanks so much Allan and Debs... I really appreciate the input.
One more question...What is the general rule of thumb for the amount article websites that I should submit each article to?
5, 10, 20...100? Or just as many as I possibly can?
I know I should write as many articles as possible, but is it really necessary to submit the same article to 50 different sites?

No. It's not necessary. I earn a living without doing it. However, I'd probably earn more if I did!
The more links you put out there, the more chance there is that search engines and people will find your sites.

I think it's definitely worth doing. Since February or so, I've been submitting articles to a growing list of about that many article banks and niche sites. Now I have lots of links plus a fair amount of regular traffic coming directly from those article links.
Many sites let you submit your articles via email instead of requiring you to use their time-consuming submission forms, and you can knock out several submissions quickly with those.
It is a little grueling to do all that submitting, but you can maximize your time by submitting 2, 3, or more articles at a time to each site. Also, a glass of wine and good music make this activity go much faster!

Greg,
The drift I'm getting is you're over analyzing this WAY too much. Simply write a few articles to distribute, then start distributing them to article directories and other sites in your niche.

Just a question as I haven't came across this before... What is the value of posting your articles to other websites, such as an article distribution site? Wouldn't the content be better served on your own site??
Just asking because this is the first I've heard of article distribution as a seo tool. I'm assuming that you can put a byline with a link back to your site??
Thanks
Dinky |

You can always do both, I do.

The only thing that I can think of to watch out for is a article site that will not let you supply a byline. Make sure you get that link back. If they don't allow a byline, I would stay away.
You can also find some sites that allow you to submit your content to them, and then they allow others to use that article PROVIDED! they use the intact byline. That can be useful as well, since it gets your content out to other sites.
But I would do as Debs mentions... put the article on your site and on the articles site. You get content, and links back.

Since we are on the topic of articles here.........what is the maximum length of articles usually required on these sites?
I ask b/c the site I am doing with my brother, the articles he has done to date all are very long length. These are more teaching articles..one of my next steps is actually to create mini-ebooks out of all these articles.
So Ill get to my point here...lol....would it be better to have him summarize some of these articles and at the end of the article or in the byline...stating you can read the full article at our site?
Thanks,
Chris
