1. Not wanting to seem dense, but just to confirm that I have it right (
because I am going to follow you with it too — ) that the 2 unique weekl
articles you write are distibuted as identical copies, at the same
approximate time to the selected 4 or 5 article directories you identified
in your post.

2. You also suggested further options for wider distribution offered by
various services at different costs.
But is that not in conflict with the recent article titled
“Here is my new advice on article marketing and I will be updating the tutorials asap”
where it suggests such wider distributions because of their duplicate content are being de-indexed quickly by Google?

Just wondering … thanks, Jim Robinson

Article marketing is one strategy for link building. I would personally write two unique articles a week about 400 words in length and submit to ezinearticles, articlebase, goarticles and articlemonkeys.com. In fact any article directory with a PR5 or above.

There are better ways to do this though and generate more links if you are willing to spend a little cash.

Myarticlenetwork – $47 a month and you can distribute unlimited articles and spin them to create more backlinks. You can also place you anchor text back link in the content (keep it in the first 4 lines)

Backlinksolutions – $97 a month, allows you to submit short articles to blogs with anchor text included. Can get some high PR links from this system.

Linkvana – $147 a month – same sort of thing blog submissions to PR3 and PR4 blogs. Highly recommend if your budget allows.

These are all a better option to traditional article marketing but if you don’t have a budget find 5 – 10 high PR article directories and write once a week.

Could you please confirm that the 2 articlest you submit are identical, without change, in other words duplicate content. Thanks.

I hope I got that right, you are my major guide in how to operate in this blogging world which I have just entered. Thank you so much.

glad you found it helpful
