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).

Pros and Cons of Links in Articles
My question pertains to articles that I'll be submitting to certain article directory sites. What are the pros and cons (If any exists) of adding links to the body of an article for certain keywords vs. just adding a link to the website at the bottom (i.e. visit us at www.somewebsite.com) ?

Backlink's using duplicate content in article directories
I've had a link build report of all the links an SEO company have got us but a simple search for some of the content in Google with phrase match brings up about 3 pages of the same content posted to different article sites. I think it is doing something but will it just be penalised over time?

Back to Basics: Article Directories :)
Does anyone do this? I don't any more but what I used to do is: Find 20 article directories I thought were good, register to all and note down in a excel sheet. Generate 1 article (500 words) and make a byline to go with it containing my anchor text link. I would then systematically go through my excel sheet submitting my article to each one. 2 weeks later repeat the process. This is something I used to do a few years ago but stopped because it was duplicate content across the directories but I think I was probably going about it the wrong way. Anyone?

UK article websites
Hello world 🙂 I'm looking for good UK article websites that are allowing anchor text links. Something like Ezine Aticles ... I found the SEOMoz 400top directories, but I'm searching for something that will give to me anchor text links. It doesn't matter if the directories have strict moderation, actually it's better, I'm not using spinner or anything similar. Thanks.

I have a really good article, now what?
Hi guys, New guy to SEO and new site, need some help. I've got a really good article (Deal Guide: How to Pay $50/mo (or nothing) for Unlimited Everything on AT&T), a few days old and it's already going viral on StumbleUpon and is getting shared on Facebook and Tweeted. My question is, now what? What can I do to boost it's value? I feel like I should be doing something to further push my article and build recognition for my new website. Should I run a Facebook sponsored story and further increase "likes" and shares? Blog/Forum commenting? I've done a little bit of this but there's so many iPhone 4s articles out there, that I don't know where to start. Should I be hitting the high PR pages? How can I find out if comments are follow/no-follow? Any other ideas?
