back links / articles submissions



1) Article directory submission is ridiculous
Seen you on WaFo and you're providing articles there right? :D

1. Article directory submission is ridiculous. The backlinks you get are not good quality.

who says??
you?
are you doing backlinking your self or you just learned this from some ass Wafo and put it in your thick skull then repost it again?

2. Article directory submission is once again a dumb way to get your content ranked. You're throwing away traffic. Let's say your article (in a directory) get's a 20% CTR, you're effectively losing 80% of the traffic you would have gotten if your article was posted on your own website.

Thats one of the most stupid things I have heard all day!!
Really man are you that stupid? That traffic is "NOT" for your site! why say that you're loosing it when infact its not yours??? That traffic is the traffic produced by the article Directories and you are taking a share out of it!!

Simple math (sample only)
your site - 100,00 traffic from different sources
Traffic "THAT CAME" from article directories + 10,000 unique!
+ Natural Backlinks!
So instead of just having 100k you will have 110k traffic!
- loose 1 article for 10k traffic is a good ROI!

Plus you can always post your article in your site first before posting it up in the article directories and ezine will easily approve it, just put a signature on the post!

oh.. you don't know that do you???
yes cause you're not doing any backlinking and your all talk!
 
@gunn.enterprise what you have said is right. Dont go for quantity, do quality backlinks then it will works sure.
 
Well, I am little bit confused right now -- should we use or not article submission sites? - tzupy

I don't blame you. A lot are just simply posting without reading the primary messages. Article directories were really hit hard by the algorithm since search engines perceive them as full of spammy contents.

As for myself, I still perform article submission yet to highly authoritative directories only. Since I learned that links there almost have no weight to the rankings, my primary purpose for submission is to gain traffic especially with these directories wide readers or audience. Try these directories:

ezinearticles.com
scribd.com
ariclebase.com
goarticles.com
wizzley.com/
hubpages.com
