Best Article Directories to Submit Fresh Content To...

[davidjoseph]

I have a multi-part question regarding article directories for everyone:

1. How much value in terms of ranking higher in search engines do you see from submitting articles to directories?

2. How much value do you see in terms of getting more traffic from people clicking on your links in the articles that you submit to directories?

3. Who are the best article directories to submit to in your opinion?

Here are my answers to get us started:
1. I have not done too much in this area until a couple of weeks ago, but so far I have not seen a significant change from the 15 articles I wrote.

2. The visitors I have received have all been extremely interested and perfectly targeted for my website (meaning that they have stayed for a while, looked at many pages, and quite a few have been return visitors)... which is fabulous.

3. I have heard that the best approach is to first submit to EzineArticles (which insists on the articles being unique content), and then after the article is accepted you can submit to other places... but I have not submitted my articles to anywhere other than Ezine yet. Surely there must be a tool somewhere to auto-submit articles to multiple directories so you don't have to do this manually?

I have started an article directory site www.articlewebsite.com .

I only accept non-duplicated content and submissions are welcome.

Aleksandar - when I clicked on you link, my antivirus software warned me about malware

James, what makes your directory better than say Ezine or Articlesbase?

[Aleksandar]

Not sure about that, everything's fine here (and I have antivirus/malvare/spyware software too). Maybe someone else should check it out too.

EzineArticles is the best one out there easily. After that:

GoArticles
Searchwarp
Article Dashboard
Articlesbase

I only submit to eZineArticles.com unless I spin the article into different versions and submit them to other directories..

I find that so far, only eZineArticles can send me targeted traffic from the articles and also increase my keywords ranking through search engines.

eZineArticles hands down.

Ezinearticles is a great place to submit your link's/articles and almost get a specific demographic! Highly recommend using ezinearticles...
