Publishing unique articles on article submission websites can be a very effective SEO strategy. It is a great way to create high quality links back to your site, and drive relevant and targeted website traffic. Like any link building strategy, it is important to concentrate only on links from quality websites. There are a lot of article submission sites that are a waste of time, and the overall number of worthy submission sites in general is quickly diminishing. In fact, there are only a handful of reputable and worthwhile sites that are still worth your time and effort.
Here are my 5 Best Article Submissions Sites for SEO:
-
EZineArticles
-
GoArticles
-
Article DashBoard
-
Articlesbase
-
ArticleCity
EZineArticles is the most popular, professional, and useful article submission site today. It gets a lot of web traffic, has a high page rank, and stringent guidelines to ensure quality content. If you are only going to pick one site for submitting your articles, this is the one to choose.
I would recommend GoArticles as the next best article publishing site. It also receives a high amount of traffic, has a strong PR6, and quality editing and submission guidelines.
Article DashBoard has been around since 2005. In addition to their article syndication services, they offer webmasters the same software that powers their website to create their own custom article directories. This is a nice added value to the site.
Articlesbase is another free article directory to publish and find articles. In addition to high PR and a quality reviewing process, they provide more detailed analytics statistics about your articles, such as how people found them. This is useful in understanding how to best tailor the content and topics of your articles.
ArticleCity may not be the most visually appealing service on this list, but it still serves its primary function effectively. If you are already submitting your articles to the above four websites and are looking for an additional channel, its a solid choice.
Conclusion
Publishing unique articles relevant to the content on your website in article submission websites can be a very effective way to gain backlinks and traffic. By focusing only on high quality directories such as the ones provided above, you will ensure that you are maximizing your time and efforts in developing new content.
Do you use article submission sites? What do you think about them as a link building strategy? What are your favorites?
Yes article submission sites are a good way of building one way backlinks, I like article submission and directory submission as a strategy of improving page rank and improve your search engine ranking position, both are effective.
