Do you mean directory submissions? SE submissions? why SE submissions? Let them find you and crawl your site...

These two, IMHO SE submissions and article submissions can boost traffic....

Search engine submission doesn't really help but article marketing on the other hand...

if you want to know how to seo your site, search this forum will give you lots of answer. the best is to do directory and article submission. forums signature as well. don't forget, paid links are faster .

Well it is simple. You do not need to do Search Engine submission if you do article submissions where the article being submitted contains a link to your site. In theory, you actually do not need to do Search Engine submission as the bots will index your site of links found from Directories and articles submitted and links of sites already being indexed. Articles submission give you an oppertunity to obtain contextual backlinks from a page themed according to the keywords you target for your own site and page to which you link. You also get the oppertunity to obtain deeplinks this way. Directory submissions do the same type of thing and is an absolute requirement to get a site visible.

Search engine submission is the key benefit of search engine submission is that it makes sure your site is seen where it will benefit you best Ð on the search engines while Article submissions are a powerful technique for adding additional readers to your blog. Articles also provide powerful inbound links to your blog or website, adding strength in the search engines. Both can boost page rank and gain link popularity for the site. You dont need to spend much money.

Both. But i must admitt. Ezine articles have been great to increase the PR of my sites. You can leave sigs below the articles.

[SeLFiE_12]

you don't have to really submit your site to search engine they'll find your site in no time if you link to other related sites, or submit your site to directories, or put it on your sig, or submit them to social bookmarkings or submitting articles with your link on the resource box...improve your link popularity and that might boost your PR though it doesn't mean that the more IBLs you have the higher PR its also about the quality of sites that links to you...

Search Engine Submission is not advisable. If you want your site indexed by search engine don't submit it just wait for them to find your site. Jut put the URL of your site on your forums sig. While article submission can be a source of your traffic.

If you want to get high PR just get more quality links by link exchanging with related sites.

I have tried both. I think that article submission seems to work much better as a mens to get the most exposure to your own unique content and therefore drive quality traffic to your site.

I dont think that search engine submissions work very well. I suppose if you have the time to find a high quality search engine then submit your website. But to spend hours on end applying to every search engine that exists may not be worht the efforts.

I think Google is getting more wise to this link farms and is constantly using them against you when it comes to the PR. However, PR is not the most important thing.

I think with the article submission people are more likely to come across your article in search of information that they are specifically looking for, this inturn brings them to your website since you can include your bio and URL.

Also people who have think that your content is worhty will use your articles as blog posts or for content on their website, great way to build some backlinks on a related site.

My vote: Article Submission!

[Alexandro]

I think that Article Directories are not working to good at this moment because of duplicate content penalty.

If you want to submit articles to increase backlinks, should you be wary of duplicate content.You will have to rephrase the article for every article directory.

Attention: If you submit the same exact content to the article sites that appears on your site, you risk being hit for duplicate content.

When someone post one of the articles on their site the links are helpful, but I don't understand what benefit the people posting the articles are getting. After all it is widely reported that search engines do not count duplicate content.

'm not sure that the links from duplicate articles distributed on article submission sites are that helpful either. I doubt that dupe articles are helpful in conferring link reputation... but that's a long discussion... and my guess is that the quality of the sites that use these articles is low enough that the links also aren't much good for traffic.

Article submissions are lame. Ever hear of something called duplicate content? This tactic may have worked once long ago, but search engines have evolved a lot since then and if you want to be successful you need to change and adapt as often as they do.

[skysoldier]

They can both boost up your PR but if you must also consider other link building techniques.

[korry]

SE submissions do not create backlinks - how can they boost your PR?

As for article submissions and duplicate content - what stops you from changing your article before submitting it to different article directories?

[dave_g]

Article submissions containing a link to the site worked for me.

[mabel01]

both worked for me! but i prioritized article submissions. it gives my site IBLs that boost up my PR!
