Submit articles : Is it worth it?

I read in various webmaster related sources that submiting articles is a good promotion techinque.

Is that true? Have you ever done it, and do you know where to submit an article?

Submitting articles: Could you elaborate on that, please?

Here is how it done :

You write an article with content relevant to your site's. After that you submit it to sites that have an articles section. They give you a backlink in advance.

Yes I have read that it is a good method to promote your site. I agree that it is good but I am not sure how many hits it would give you, I guess it really depends on the amount of traffic the site you submit the article to receives. Either way you will get some hits and you can also put the articles on your website so you'll have more content.

I know some people who submit tutorials to sites like good-tutorials.com and they receive thousands of hits to their websites. I think it is a good way to receive some traffic.

Can you tell us some info on that?

What type of articles your friends writed? And what type of site does they own?

I think it will help establish good backlinks with the anchor text you chose.

It all depends on the type of sites you submit your article to. If it does not complement your site, it may not be of much use.

If interested, please read this article on my site . This talks about website promotion through articles as well as the impact due to the Google duplicate content penalty.

Note to moderator: If posting links to own site is not allowed, please feel free to remove the link.

I will agree with you nramkr.

In other words, articles are like CPC campaigns. You should target to keywords that match your audience.

Otherwise you still get traffic, but no conversions, as the people who click on your links look for something else that you give.

By the way, posting own links its ok when it is appropriate (relevant to what we talk). I read your article, it is nice.

Feel free to post it here if you want

Hi all,

Those of you who have submitted articles; how has that worked for you?

Do you believe most people honor the terms of service and maintain the signature/bio at the end?

Have you gotten some conversions or just a lot of looky lous?

I never had real results from articles. I just got some extra hits

Maybe you didn't write something relevant to your site's topic.

Articles are one of the best ways to promote a site.

That's what I do, though I've only submitted one so far.

Articles build your credibility. Good articles help to convince the visitor that you are an authority on the topic. Even if it does not result in a sale immediately, it has long term benefits including prospective customers knowing about you and your site by word of mouth.
