So far I have researched
-SeoCosmo

-SubmitShop
What is everyones opinon on these three website for submitting articles. Can anyone recommend any other good Submission websites?
Thanks You!

With the resources you seem to have with "employees" writing unique and relevent content that has value to your visitors, then you should already have a fantastic & comprehensive blog to showcase on. If you don't then you need to put your efforts into building your blog and turning the tables so it's an engaging place that people will want to comment on, link to and all the other blog benefits.
Stay well away from article submission sites, as Brad says, he ignores requests full of remorse everyday. it's organic search karma, what we do today, impacts on our future! Don't make your future, writing to people like Brad begging for the links to be removed. Ain't gonna happen!

I have a client who did this. He did it well and has hundreds of sites with these syndicated types of links from isnare, articlebase, thefreelibrary, article directories etc. Guess what? They got hit by penguin and panda. I can tell you it is of NO value. 90% of their back links are from these types of links and they are positions 200+ for the keywords that are in those articles.
It doesn't matter if the content is not spam or not. It could be the answer to cancer. Google doesn't know that, it's just going to see all these sites have the same content on it and as Matt Cutts said, they won't index all the other duplicates. And that is all they see, duplicate content. So they devalue it.
...maybe even penalize to stop people doing it.

a) Understand that you're likely not going to be able to build high-quality links at a mass rate -- with that said, it's quite easy to build low-quality links at a mass rate.
b) You have writers creating original content -- turn your focus to guest posting on high-quality sites. You'd be surprised how many opportunities are out there.
c) It's a marathon not a sprint.

I guess the shorter question with the longer answer is:
How do we build Panda friendly links at a mass rate?
Thank you,

Brad, you're likely talking right over my head, so excuse my sophomoric response.
The content we are writing and then posting is NOT spam at all - it is actual relevant content written by our employees who provide the most value to our customer/user/visitor base.
So again, my question relates back to which services help get that good content out to sites.
Also, we do not allow for spamming on any comment sites we manage. The request to comment comes in, and is deleted if it is spam. I'd like to think there is a way to get our content to sites with the same "no spam" policy.
Lastly, using SEOMoz Pro Tools i am finding that the sites kicking our butt, have.......wait for it.....the most links. And I have great confidence that our competitors are not manually calling up web masters and asking to trade links at a rate resulting in 900,000 links!
Should i assume that they will soon fall (these are established brands within our niche - not johnny-come-lately's)?
I will pivot away from Article Link Building if that is the consensus...
Thank you for the insight.

Here's the best way to proceed with article submission/syndication:
Stop.

"but the value of article links isn't completely dead" Maybe not at this exact moment but they are dead for sure. The amount of work you will have to do to unravel this mess won't be worth whatever short term gains you have. I own network of content sites with commenting. I'm receiving 15-20 requests per day to remove links because people tried to spam up my sites with comments pointing to their site. I can't possibly spend the time to remove their links so I'm forced to just ignore the 15-20 requests and they most likely continue to stay penalized. I recommend the videos about doing RCS with Will and Paddy Moogan's talk from mozcon as well. Rand had a great WBF about link earning. Good luck.

Mat,
I appreciate the guidance, and we have been paying attention to the news from Penguin releases/updates. By no means is low value link building the cornerstone of our strategy, but the value of article links isn't completely dead.
Furthermore, your remarks are the point to our question. Knowing that some of these submission sites suck, what is a good way to post articles effectively & efficiently - without drying up the Penguin ice caps
Thanks again Mat. Noted.

Be really careful with this stuff. It doesn't bring much benefit now and this is exactly the sort of low quality, automated stuff that Google is cracking down on.

Best Way to Filter Backlinks
When analyzing backlinks and trying to get the same one for another site there are a ton of backlinks to go through. I know that if the DA of the link is then pages on the site might be a good choice like adding an article or something of the sort to the site but as far a the same page goes you can typically only do this with a comment on the page. My question is, given a huge list of backlinks from multiple sites, is there an easy way to analyze the links and determine which ones I can copy without manually checking hundreds of links?

Value of links within related articles sidebar
Hello, We have recently developed a related articles shortcode which we use on our wordpress sites. It allows editors to pull in links to x 3 related articles within their article which then appear to the side. I wondered if anyone is able to help advise about the link value of the links included within the related articles widget - i.e. will it carry the same link value as links within the copy? All I can see that's different is that the links are in an <aside>tag - is this going to make a significance difference do you think? Thanks for any help, Rachel </aside>

★Does syndication of a news features from high Profile site like TechCrunch have a negative SEO impact?
As a co-founder of a startup that is weekly featured on high page rank news sites such as TechCrunch, The Next Web, TreeHugger , Yahoo News etc. These types of write ups are "SEO Gold" as they are high page rank sites with high relevancy to our sector and with unique good quality anchor text and copy. However... Within hours of each post going live the content and links are syndicated either via RSS or scraped and appear as duplicate content on in some cases 100's of very low quality and low relevancy content aggregation sites. To give you an example here are just two of the sites that are now appearing as linking domains due to this syndicated content and the links included in the article. Examples : Eco Market, The “Etsy For Eco,” Rebrands, Revamps, Raises & Prepares A U.S. Launch Sarah Perez | Technology | Page 4 The above are just a couple of examples amongst 100's that result from each feature. I would like to hear you opinion on if these links would be considered natural and you feel I should not take action or if you think these need removing by contacting the webmasters or disavowing the links? I am sure I cant be alone in having this problem and look forward to hearing you advice and tips

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.

Best way to get more keywords to rank
I have a flash site and have been very successful at getting my keywords that are in my site title and also in the text of my page to rank well. What is the best way to get additional keywords to rank without increasing the text on your page. Is it just getting more anchor-text backlinks pointing your site with the new keywords in the text?
