Know SEO Blog

This is a short sweet post on the art of article directory submission.  Once again we are sticking with the link building theme for the time being.  Submitting to article directories is a no brainer.  Where else are you going to get genuine 1 way do follow links that always stick.  There are a few general rules that I try to stick by when doing article submission.

1. Start with the high PR sites and work your way down

What you are looking for here is quality links back to your site.  Obviously it makes sense to start posting on the directories with the most link weight.  I haven’t compiled a list, but a great one is right here.

2.  My duplicate submission rule

Some directories allow you to submit duplicate content and some do not.  If you are not spinning your articles for uniqueness then I recommend this method.  Use a current blog post that has already been indexed by google.  If you don’t know how to check then read this.  Now the hyperlinks that you insert in the article, link to the next blog post that you plan on publishing as an article.  This is insuring that your next post will be indexed quickly, so that you can then publish it as an article.  Duplicate content does not apply to the first website to publish the article and get it indexed.  This way, you get to re-use your blog posts as articles and still ensure that you get the credit for the unique content.

3.  Get these link pages indexed!!

You can use a few of your free blogs from this post, to push the spiders to the new article pages that you have.  Make an effort to get every one of these pages indexed.  These are long term links from high PR sites.  Need I say more..
