Great Article - Where do i publish it
-
I have just completed a great article (relating to advertising). I have a predicament, where do I post it? Do I contact sites related to the industry with high pr's and authority, to see if they want to feature the article? This will provide great anchor text links from the high pr site in question. Or do i submit to article directories? Or do i simply place the article on my site, and get people to link to it?
I need help!!!!
Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm a newbie (I'm sure you can tell)

Ouch. All the thumbs down aren't really necessary. Margaret is just sharing what seems to be working for her. If it works for your niche, then go for it.

I agree with EGOL's advice.
Another thing to consider is, do you interact with other influencers in your niche? If you post a good piece on content on your site, are there influential people in mind who might reasonably tweet it and help you attract additional shares and links? If not, perhaps you should share the article on a more popular site and use it to start building some relationships which will result in future links coming your way. Start building a relationship with everyone who comments on your post or tweets the link.

If you have a "message to get out" then give that article to everybody everywhere.
If you hope that the article will attract traffic, likes, tweets, etc for your site then publish it on your site and on your site only.
Don't give your best content to anybody or they will get your traffic, likes, tweets, etc. Plus they will compete against you for your own keywords. And, that will give you duplicate content.
The only exception to the above is if you can place the article on a site where it will be seen by many many many more people than will see it on your own site.

Don't put it in article directories.
If you feel that you'd be able to build enough buzz around the article and gain links from having it on your site then do that. If it's a really, really, really AWESOME, once in a career type of article then definitely put it on your site.
If it's good and you want to build relationships within your industry specifically with the webmaster of another site then publish on that 3rd party.
Hope that helps.

We have been submitting our articles to "Ezine.com" and it seems to working quite well. Another site we are just beginning to use is PRWEB.com. You have to pay, but your articles are submitted to hundreds of news sites with the potential to be picked up by them (especially if it is in fact a high quality article).

Written a great guest post for another site. Can I post it on my own blog too?
So I've written this beautiful guest post for a site who've quite frankly done a bad job of promoting it and I'm a little disappointed. So I'm thinking: a) I could send it around to some other publishers and see if they want it. What would be the duplicate content problems here if any? b) Why not just publish it on my own site and promote it to other blogs and the world in the normal way. c) Is this just wrong and if I say I'm going to write for someone then I write for them and if they make a mess of it that's my problem and I should be more selective about who I give my talents away to in the future. Thanks in advance. I am fairly new to outreach and all the internet searching on this topic is returning stuff about 'allowing other people to post guest blogs on your site' which is not helpful. Rank Brain eh? Supposed to be smart. But it's really not. 🙂

Article submission web-sites and SEO
Does article submission web-sites have any impact to SEO in these days? There are a lot of good/not so good article submission databases, but does it really matter if you spend a time to write unique articles for them? I mean, is it a good way for link-building, or should I spend more time for other parts of SEO? There are also a special websites (for example SubmitYourArticle) which automate this process, does it make sense to use this services? Alternates? Lots of questions… Update Sorry, I found some good answers only after that I posted this question.

Customer testimonials and customer profile article guidelines?
I want to help people who give testimonials by writing an article about their business including a good quality link. This will be on the site that received the testimonial, possibly linked from an our customers page. I want to make each customer profile testimonial into a separate page. I don’t want to compete with the customer who gives the testimonial for their keyword phrase but I do want to boost their page rank if possible. What would be the best formula for title tag, headline and linking keywords etc?

What white hat article marketing tactics do you use?
It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article? What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS? Any methods you use to score quick backlinks? How do you get your content in front of bloggers?

If I write a PR release on a site such as PRweb with anchor-text links that is picked up and published by other news sites, do the engines consider this duplicate content or additional, beneficial links?
I recently wrote a news release on PRweb that was picked up identically by 8 other news websites, with the same anchor-text links as the original. Is the reproduction of duplicate content and links across different websites like this to the benefit or detriment of SEO and ranking power? Some of the links are: http://www.mynewsdesk.com/uk/view/pressrelease/eventa-new-eventa-christmas-parties-website-is-launched-648923?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Alert&utm_content=pressrelease http://www.prweb.com/releases/christmasparties/neweventasite/prweb8562064.htm Many thanks!!

How does Google interpret articles or prepositions in languages where it's attached to the (key)word?
Hi, All! This is for any foreign language SEOs where articles or prepostitions such as "the" "to" "in" or anything else are actually part of the word they are modifying and not a separate word, as in English: How does Google understand those words on-page and in anchor text? If you want to optimize for the word "house", and your content/anchor text says "the house" or "in the house" (again, all one word) - what does Google count that as? Does it count toward "house"? Does it count toward "in the house" only? Does it count toward "house" but not as much as if you had just put "house"? I end up sometimes writing slightly grammatically-off content because I want to optimize for the keyphrase - but is that necessary? Obviously different languages might be different, but you can probably project a little from one to the others. Thanks in advance!
