To be honest I have only written a few articles to submit which did help my back links but my downfall was it was taking too much time to write these articles just for a back link on another website.
Another thing that is moving me away from Articles is Google’s viewpoint on duplicated content. Let’s say you write a 300 word article and upload it to an article site for other sites to use with your link attached. Now Google will see your content on the main article site and whatever other site that uses that Article, how will they view your link? I’m thinking they will only see one article and one back link from the main article site because the other sites are duplicating content. A 300 word article that you could use on your own site is not really worth one back link. If this is the case then Article submitting may soon become an old method of building links for Search Engines.
In saying that, if your are going to use articles on other sites make sure that article does not appear on your own site, write them specifically for each article site you submit to.
I found that browsing onto well established Blogs and posting comments that ask for your URI/URL is a good way of building links but I am trying to determine if it’s better to stick to Blogs relevant to your site topic. When I say this I don’t mean go out and spam a hundred sites in day but to read a couple of Blogs daily and post a comment or two.
Blogs are usually updated daily, which Search Engines love, millions of people browse Blogs daily so you have better chance of getting traffic than from an article - extra traffic always helps and if the Blog owner just so happens to look at your url they may even post something that they found interesting on your site giving you more links and even more visitors.
I am not a pro at this game (only started 6 months ago) and the above is only something that I personally think is the case, hopefully if I am wrong some of the pro’s on here can comment on their thoughts on the whole subject.
