If you have a picture of the link profile you are trying to build (usually based on competitor analysis) then that helps guide you.
However my one guiding principal has always been to try not to be overly reliant on too few tactics. That probably means I've missed out on some easy wins over the years. However it also means that I have sites that have been sitting at the top of their industry results for over a decade, never leaving page 1.
Mix it up. Find something that works - then find something else. No reason why articles can't be part of that, but if you are producing that content anyway then why not put some aside for guest posting? If you are researching guest posting opportunities why not see what else those sites are looking for?

I don't believe it helps as much, no. Particularly as the lowest quality end.
I think that a small part of that is algo based, but really that a lot of the article directories have been devalued as a result of algo change - so have less juice to pass.
However it's still a way to get links, with anchors you control, from a diverse range of IPs. Hard to ignore that.

Hi mat,
Thanks mate - much apprciated..
Do you mean that article submission to help with SEO does not help that much anymore??

Hi Gareth,
There is a pretty comprehensive list here, that also shows follow/nofollow status of links, Google PR and alexa ranking: http://www.vretoolbar.com/articles/directories.php
I'd imagine you'll find something there!
In this post-panda world the benefit from article submissions is slightly harder to reap, but it's still there. I'm favouring dealing in smaller numbers on sites where you can build more of a profile. Plenty of those in that list.
Hope it helps.

Duplicating Articles/Blogs
Two years ago, some articles and blogs were written and submitted to certain tech and news sites relevant to our field. Will it be fine to submit those to other sites now. It is our content only and not some one else, but would it be penalty to submit the copy to other article sites whereever those articles/content are relevant today also?
