Article Submissions

Hey guys,

Just a question about article submissions. We have been using a distribution wizard for our articles to get them on the web. A recent check on our submissions showed that out of the 100's of articles we have produced and submitted for distribution, only 6% have showed up on the web.

A lot of time and $$$ has been spent trying to get these articles on the web and a figure of 6% is pretty disappointing.

Is this a common figure? Can anyone recommend a distribution method that is more effective?

Cheers.

How long have you been waiting when you check for them? Usually I avoid article submissions since they tend to not provide the results I'm looking for and the content could go to better use on your actual website.

I manually submit my articles on 100 directories and after 1 week they get approved.

I was under the impression that article submissions were a great way to get links. If not then what would you recommend?

Add articles in your website and do strong interlinking within you website just like wikipedia that is much better option.
And submit your articles in SB sites at least you get good traffic from SB sites.

Very frankly I'm also confused regarding article submission to different different directory coz they have own rules some would accept you and some one not .... Why they do so...??
yet fulfill all the terms n conditions..

It might also happen that google find them as duplicate content. So it display only 6% of them. In other search engines you have the same indexed number of articles?

You really need nearly thousands of articles to have good results.

I recommend, publish the content to your own site instead.

I've submitted my articles to so many articles website but not so effective but only Ezine articles that have not only approve my article rather its just showing in google top 10 listing.. So if anyone wants to submit articles and want get listed in google then go ahead but remember that before submit read all the guidelines properly.. It'll take approx 1 week to approve your article..

May be you've duplicate content or copyright content coz google never accept duplicacy.. Try to check your content again properly and resubmit it again ..

Were those submitted articles approved? Would you happen to know if some of them were rejected?

Duplicate content as an effect may be a possibility. Maybe you can re-write or rephrase your articles so Google won't see it as duplicate content.

As for me, I don't do automatic submissions. Manual submissions and submissions to social bookmarking sites can give good exposure for articles.

Article writing is one way to get back links you should include in your seo efforts.

But you need to be able to write a good informative 600+ words article with no links in the body and only 1 or 2 links in the bio box

An article like that gets approved quicker

You don't need an automatic submitter just submit your articles to a few of the best article directories and you will get as much effect as auto submitting to a 1000 weak article directories

Yeah,

I agree with Janna.

Manually submission is great options and i will do same for my sites and get also good traffics, having also good % of approval.

I think article approval completely depend on article quality, So, check 10 times your article quality before submission and if you think that your articles are unique and full with information then submit them to popular article site like ezinearticles.

You will get sure very good response

Thanks
