Can you submit articles that are on your site to directories? i.e its original content from your site, but you are submitting that to several directories unchanged with a link back to your site? Surely thats just promotion and not duplicate content? Isnt it exactly the same thing as writing a nice link bait article and having in reposted on peoples blogs and sites?

Hi John,

You should publish your best stuff on your own site and spread the rest out widely.

One thing which helps is article spinning (so you get multiple versions of an article from a single article). We have created our own article spinner which you can find at that link.

Just paste in your initial article text and you are off to the races. Make sure to include links back to your original site.

Genuinely want to learn, we sell outdoor toys, and are highly seasonal. We have expert staff here with not enough to do in the winter. The plan is to write as much expert copy as we can. We have started, and have plenty, but by the end of the winter will have an enormous amount. We are starting by writing answers to every question we have ever had, no matter how stupid.
Genuinely, we are looking for the best places to publish the expertise. On one article site, several, or dozens, or even none at all, just focus on publishing on our own sites.

Hi John,

If your question is earnest (and not just a comment for a link’s sake), here’s the bottom line.

You have to focus on two or three sites, building up a rich profile. At the same time you should spread your articles around lightly to a wider network (twenty or thirty sites).

Effective article marketing is a lot of work.

Is it best to focus on one article site, and become an acknowledged thought leader on the subject, or it best to spread your articles around the various sites to spread the impact? Any advice welcome.

Great list! I too use ezinearticles and goarticles upon recommendation from many sources including this. I don’t seem to get much traffic from the links themselves but I am certain the incoming link building has helped achieve some of the rankings I currently have.

Thanks for the share mate. I shall use these article directories and submit articles manually.
