Are you using ArticleBase.com for link building?
-
I'm digging my way through my competitors' link profiles on OSE and came across one that had been using a site called ArticleBase.com
Apparently you can publish articles for free and browse other published articles for usage on your own site (provided you follow their TOS). It actually seems like a nifty idea.
I'm wondering if anyone has utilized this site for re-publishing content and building external links.
Worth the effort?
Thanks!

Tbiz,
Write an article. Publish in that article directory. Wait 1 month and see the result. Dont let others affect ur own experiments.
Regards,
PP

ha ha... thanks for the laugh.

Haha, I had to laugh at your last point, Marcus.
I had the same initial feeling, however, I think Rand makes a really awesome point right near the end. It's not necessarily a moral issue, but rather what ELSE you could be doing with your time than spinning articles to these directories.
I would much rather use that time to start connecting with other bloggers in my space and start building those relationships for future guests posts and links that will last a life-time.
It's hard for me as a SEO noob... the low hanging fruit is tempting and deceptive. I'm just glad the community is here to guide us.
Thanks!

If you are submitting unique content then to the top tier directories then I don't see any problem with it. You should gain some link juice and chances are, if your article is of sufficient quality, your site should attract some visitors. Judging by that Whiteboard Friday, Rand completely disagrees. Who you going to believe, me or the founder of SEOMOZ?!!

Anjon,
Thanks for the link. I've been working my way through the whiteboard Fridays but hadn't gotten to this one yet.
I just watched it and won't be submitting any articles to the site, thanks!
-
No I wouldn't use article directories.
I think you should watch this whiteboard Friday:

Hope you find this helpful

How many links per week/month should a link building campaign acquire?
I am running a linkbuilding campaign for my company. I am mostly focusing on guest blogging opportunities and responding to emails from HARO. How many links would I have to acquire each week or month to be considered doing a good job over a 6 month or a year time period? Thank you,

Link building with PDFs
I created a manual for a popular piece of equipment and placed it, as a PDF-file, on my website. The PDF contains a clickable link to the root domain of my website. Other websites have downloaded the PDF and put it on their own website, hosting it themselves. Since Google indexes PDFs, does the link in the PDF count as a regular 'link' from an external website, and does it have comparable value? Can't find any thoughts or studies about this anywhere.
