what is your opinion about article directories?

Worth checking out this thread for some tips

I do some and they get me site visits and sometimes rank highly in search results. I think the big boys like Ezine are still woth the effort but I aim to put one different link each time in the author box.

After the panda update Article Marketing is not power full like before. I am doing article marketing campaign for so long time but it all are wastage. you can find my back link there are very less contribution of article. I suggest you before apply any marketing technique you have to research first.

I asked this question on a tile forum I am on and from what a lot of people have said as long as you still have good content which isn

We started with some article marketing last month and will be doing it every month. We have seen pretty much instant good results so far and have been shown the results of other websites doing this so we are happy it works.

As long as you write unique articles for each directory it will be fine.

Avoid using the same one or spinning. The long winded approach is the best one.

Article Submission is a way to generate traffic on article submission websites, you can generate leads through submitting quality article content to niche websites, also get Do follow and High PR Backlink.

Article Marketing is useful but you need to take care on some specific subjects.. Google panda Update is also known as Content Farm, so the content must be unique now and it must not be submitted in multiple directories..

You need to give the unique content every time if you want good result and submit in useful directories like Goarticle, ideamarketers, articledashboard etc..

The Panda update targets content farms. Content farms are websites with literally millions of low quality articles that are there for one purpose only, SERP domination with links. It was also known as the farmer update or algo.. (memory fails..)

That being said; I still firmly believe that article marketing can be effective. Many of the authority sites that have been hurt by the algo have begun looking at their submission criteria in an effort to get their sites back to where they were. With that happening, if you stick to the rules, be creative, research and write quality, unique articles, you should be fine.

Submitting the same article to many sites is about as good as staring into the face of an angry panda (couldn't resist). Google will have something to say about that methinks. I've seen many people argue the fact over many forums in the past, and seeing that makes me think that I would rather play it safe and make sure that all my articles submitted are unique and not one article spread all over the web.
Another bad idea is spinning. It is also frowned upon by the big G.


Uniqueness + quality + valuable information that helps a visitor = good business.
