I wanted to know how many of the big successful affiliates used articles to market their business, so I took a survey and asked this question.
When writing a good quality unique article, is it good to submit that unique article to only one directory? Or should I send it to several? In your experience, which one has given you the best results and what advice can you give us about article marketing?
1. Submitting to the first three to five directories is the best move, also look for sites that are relevant to your business and ask if they would be interested in posting your articles. This is much better than sending to a large set that is not relevant to your business. This system has given me great results.
2. I think the best plan is to write three articles and submit each one to a different directory, this will equate to three article directories in total. It is better to make originals and submit them to avoid the duplicate content penalty as it can cause you to lose your Google ranking. This strategy works best for me.
3. I think it depends on what your goals are.
If you want your site to spread across the Internet to improve your chances of getting published, you can submit your articles to as many ezines as you like. But if you are looking for SEO ranking, just submit it to the best directories, maybe the top five, but all of your article must be original to avoid the duplicate content penalty. So write five good articles and submit them to the top five sites.
Remember to make sure you write your articles so they can be read by humans.
These were just a few of the answers I got to this question I asked some of the top earners on the internet. I hope this information has been useful.
