Article submission will improve SEO?

[antic]

I was offered to use article submission services. What are pros and cons of that then?

Article submission is good for a website if you are targetting good PR Article directories ... Just do a search on this forum and you will find some and you can submit your articles there for good results

1. Submitting same article to a lot of directories would mean a lot of duplicate content so it would be great to submit rewritten / unique article to each directory.
(this means, a LOT of work is involved if you want the best results)

2. Once you have submitted the article to a directory (even if it's unique), most directories offer articles for free reprint (if resource box info; your links) are retained. That means you get even more links if your article is good, at the same time, you will see more duplicate content.

Following are some of the best article directories I know:

http://www.articlesbase.com
http://www.allgoodarticles.com
http://www.articlerealm.com
http://www.searcharticles.in
http://www.articlecodex.com
http://www.justarticles.net
http://www.articlecube.com
http://www.earticlesonline.com/
http://www.search4allinfo.com
http://www.goarticles.com

If you are targetting on your PR achievement, I would also recommend article submission. But keep in mind, that not all the links that you get from articles submission is relevant to your site's topics. Google would rather love a link from PR0 site which is relevant to your site's content than a link from higher PR site, but without any similar topic.

provided you're submitting original articles that are promoting your site, usually you can put your link on the by-line and the resource box, sometimes on resource boxes only but do take advantage since now article directories will give you a profile page, where you can list all your links thus benefiting from the pr of the domain, and the backlinks.

Yes, article submission will improve your ranking and traffic... You could also do some directory submission, forum posting, blog commenting, blog posting, press release submission, social bookmarking.. :D

So it's better to target niche article directory for listings than the general one.

Article submission is a good option for improving your website ranking and traffic. You can achieve both by putting your site on high PR article web sites.

Wouldn't that cause duplicate content problem ? Since everyone taking articles to put in their sites from those article directories.

Wouldn't that cause duplicate content problem ? Since everyone taking articles to put in their sites from those article directories.

I think, if a Person A submit one article to many sites and link back to his own site, then even if duplicate content issue is caused, the will be a problem for the article directory and will cause no harm to Person A's websites.

As if duplicate content on other sites can harm the site to which the duplicate article links, then people will start to do this for their competitors.

I think article submission is a good way to get some ok backlinks and little traffic too. You should only submit to top 10 or 15 directories. Submitting to more directories will most probably not bring any good.

Article submission is good just make sure to switch up your articles for every site you post it on.

Article Submission is best way to increase site traffic & back links. so some Article PR is a way of increasing your search engine ranking. It's a completely legal form of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), favored by Google. In essence, you're trading knowledge for backlinks (inbound links to your site).

Article submission is a way of building links and also a source of traffic, if properly done.
Avoid using automated software that submits your articles to 100's + sites, may have negative effect if done to excessively.

The best strategy is to submit at least 40% unique article on each article directory. You can use Article Post Robot.. This works very fine..
