I have no idea how worthy they are. I imagine some of them are mostly useless but if they give me a one-way link, what do I care?

I agree. I've visited well over a 100 and like only 4-5. However, for $30... still... that's a lot of submissions. even if it's just a one time deal I think it's worth it.

I've never submitted to article sites before, but I am surprised that I didn't get more emails. Maybe some article sites don't email on approval? Anyway a Google search shows about 600 results for one of my articles but they all come form one site that has "30 most recent articles" on everypage...

yeah I don't think any of the top 4 or 5 that I use email approvals, maybe goarticles, but that's about it.

the ones that don't instantly promote your article (awainting moderation...censorship, lol) usually take a while because it's one guy running an article site that get's probably 50+ articles a day.

This might help some. I currently use <url removed> to submit my articles (this isn't my site). It's free and I am getting some hits. What site was used for the 250 submission? If you do use the site I suggested, make sure you use an email address that can be used for all of the confirmation emails. The links have to be followed to activate the submissions. I created one just for this so I can dump it later.

Well I ahven't seen any real traffic in my referral logs. A few sites I've never heard of sending me one or two visits. Backlinks are turning out to be harder to measure than I thought because apparently the links from DP coop change all the time. My travel blog seems to have picked up 100 backlinks, but I'm too lazy to go through and check how many of them came from article sites.

Mad4 or something like that on DP - I linked to the DP thread I think in one of the earlier posts.

I'm guessing I would because duplicate content filters seem to have no problem with hundreds of the same article cluttering up the web...
if submitted to the relevant category it will be helpful as you will get relevant backlinks and more relevant trafic

Thanks James.

Funnily enough I "bumped" into him in DP earlier today, and he's working on submitting 2 of my articles.

I don't know James. I think if you do get an article out there, the chances are that it will be on hundreds of those crap article-regurgitator sites (MFA) and all those link-backs will be on worthless, PR0 pages that deserve negative PageRank. And that would do a whole lot towards dragging your link profile down.

Just thinking aloud, you know...

I still believe that one way links won't hurt me. If they do I can easily make sure my competition gets more than me, but that would destroy the web as we know it. I think search engines realize this...

It is a very interesting experiment. But looks like the current result is different from what I had experienced.

I think, maybe there is a problem with this experiment. When submitting article, you should make sure that the article is using your own profile on each article site, and the html code is included in the resource box. otherwise, you may not get backlinks from these sites.

Are you sure the submission service is using the correct method to submit your articles? If they do not, then the result will be the submission service is not good, NOT article submission does not work.

If I do the experiments, I will submit articles by myself. So that, can minimize the mistakes done by others.

That's true, this is really an experiemnt on Mad4's submission service not article site sin general. One thing is for sure, I will never personally submit an article to 250 different sites. If you can do it, maybe you should run an experiment.

I keep hearing so much about article submissions that I finally decided to give it a try. I wrote one article and have just finished submitting it to about 125 directories myself. It really didn't take too long and if I decide to submit another aritcle down the road, it will be even quicker since I am now registered on the sites. I will see what effect, if any, submitting this article has on my backlinks/traffic, etc.

Just wondering, what are the benefits of article submission as opposed to one-way directory submisssions? Does one weigh more than the other, do they carry the same weight? Any thoughts on this?

I don't give much weight to article submission because the link comes from low quality pages, which often get dropped for being duplicate content.

Yes, I agree with NICEGUY. You need any "relationship" with other sites and the search engines will even submit your website without you doing it yourself. You may also check your relationship with the other site, e.g in Google:

link:mareli.org - Find web pages that link to mareli.org
site:mareli.org - Find web pages from the site mareli.org
"mareli.org" - Find web pages that contain the term "mareli.org"

mareli.org – Open Directory

Jack Hilton, the guy that's been spamming my blog with mareli.org.

Damn, is your directory supported almost 100% by links from forum profiles?
