submitting an article to 250 article sites

What do you think would be achieved if I wrote a decent article and had it submitted to 250 article directories. Would I get lots of backlinks?

I'm guessing I would because duplicate content filters seem to have no problem with hundreds of the same article cluttering up the web...

Even if I end up with 100 one way links, that's pretty good. Plus some sites take the articles and actually maintain the link...

OK, here's the experiment. I jsut spent 2 hours writing 2 articles and 30 bucks to have them submitted to 240 article sites.

The first article linkd to: my stock blog with 10,200 backlinks in Yahoo and my travel blog with 3,530 backlinks.

The second article linked to my directory with 7,070 backlinks and my online advertising blog with 2,110 backlinks.

I'll keep track of backlinks and see if there's any change in the anchor text I chose for the links and let you know.

Thanks. Of course when I said change in the anchor text, I meant SERPs for the keywords phrases in my anchor text.

I've always had good experiences with article submission. Did you submit to just article sites, or some relevant sites who could possibly use your article as a valid resource on their site? If you haven't done the latter I would do that as well.

Just article sites. I might be interested in hiring someone to submit to relevant sites for me, but I doubt doing so myself would be worth my time. I'd have to start by doing research and whatnot...

I would recommend creating a little outline of what you are trying to write.


Paragraph 1 {About xxx and yyy}
Paragraph 2 {About xxx and yyy}
Paragraph 3 {About xxx and yyy}

Now write each paragraph three ways from a different perspective.
By placing different Paragraph 1's, 2's and 3's together you have nine different articles.

Every time you post one of the articles change all three of the selected paragraphs slightly so it is targeting a different audience. Bonus points for making it relevent in some way to the article site you are submitting it to.

Now you will have completely unique articles everywhere.

Well I paid someone to do the submitting: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=53226 - they did send me a list of all the places they submitted to but I honestly haven't looked at it and don't want to distribute it because that's like giving away someone else's work. But you can contact the people who did the submitting and see if they'll give it to you.

Rewriting the same article from different perspectives sounds harder than just writing a new article! Perhaps as a linguist I would approach that task too seriously.

Switching paragraphs around is a quick way to get "more" articles, but I don't think I could ever do that. As a professor, publishing an article is an academic thing (not that these will go on my CV) so I have to meet my own academic standards...

But I'm sure this advice will be useful for SEOs...

I really slowed down in article writting when I saw that a good 30% or more of my article downloads were being published WITHOUT the linkage. I think it was mostly from people not knowing what they are doing rather than actually trying to steal, but oh well.

like you said, even if you only get 100 out of 240, that's still pretty good for $30.

Yes, I also spent about an hour writing the two articles and that was content I could have used on my site. I guess I still could use it, but I don't think I will since there's a good chance other sites will ahve the same content...
