What are the best Article Submission Syndicates?
-
We are currently trying to ramp up our link building using article submission syndicates.
So far I have researched
-SeoCosmo
-Isnare
-SubmitShop
What is everyones opinon on these three website for submitting articles. Can anyone recommend any other good Submission websites?
Thanks You!

With the resources you seem to have with "employees" writing unique and relevent content that has value to your visitors, then you should already have a fantastic & comprehensive blog to showcase on. If you don't then you need to put your efforts into building your blog and turning the tables so it's an engaging place that people will want to comment on, link to and all the other blog benefits.
Stay well away from article submission sites, as Brad says, he ignores requests full of remorse everyday. it's organic search karma, what we do today, impacts on our future! Don't make your future, writing to people like Brad begging for the links to be removed. Ain't gonna happen!

I have a client who did this. He did it well and has hundreds of sites with these syndicated types of links from isnare, articlebase, thefreelibrary, article directories etc. Guess what? They got hit by penguin and panda. I can tell you it is of NO value. 90% of their back links are from these types of links and they are positions 200+ for the keywords that are in those articles.
It doesn't matter if the content is not spam or not. It could be the answer to cancer. Google doesn't know that, it's just going to see all these sites have the same content on it and as Matt Cutts said, they won't index all the other duplicates. And that is all they see, duplicate content. So they devalue it.
...maybe even penalize to stop people doing it.

a) Understand that you're likely not going to be able to build high-quality links at a mass rate -- with that said, it's quite easy to build low-quality links at a mass rate.
b) You have writers creating original content -- turn your focus to guest posting on high-quality sites. You'd be surprised how many opportunities are out there.
c) It's a marathon not a sprint.

I guess the shorter question with the longer answer is:
How do we build Panda friendly links at a mass rate?
Thank you,

Brad, you're likely talking right over my head, so excuse my sophomoric response.
The content we are writing and then posting is NOT spam at all - it is actual relevant content written by our employees who provide the most value to our customer/user/visitor base.
So again, my question relates back to which services help get that good content out to sites.
Also, we do not allow for spamming on any comment sites we manage. The request to comment comes in, and is deleted if it is spam. I'd like to think there is a way to get our content to sites with the same "no spam" policy.
Lastly, using SEOMoz Pro Tools i am finding that the sites kicking our butt, have.......wait for it.....the most links. And I have great confidence that our competitors are not manually calling up web masters and asking to trade links at a rate resulting in 900,000 links!
Should i assume that they will soon fall (these are established brands within our niche - not johnny-come-lately's)?
I will pivot away from Article Link Building if that is the consensus...
Thank you for the insight.

Here's the best way to proceed with article submission/syndication:
Stop.

"but the value of article links isn't completely dead" Maybe not at this exact moment but they are dead for sure. The amount of work you will have to do to unravel this mess won't be worth whatever short term gains you have. I own network of content sites with commenting. I'm receiving 15-20 requests per day to remove links because people tried to spam up my sites with comments pointing to their site. I can't possibly spend the time to remove their links so I'm forced to just ignore the 15-20 requests and they most likely continue to stay penalized. I recommend the videos about doing RCS with Will and Paddy Moogan's talk from mozcon as well. Rand had a great WBF about link earning. Good luck.

Mat,
I appreciate the guidance, and we have been paying attention to the news from Penguin releases/updates. By no means is low value link building the cornerstone of our strategy, but the value of article links isn't completely dead.
Furthermore, your remarks are the point to our question. Knowing that some of these submission sites suck, what is a good way to post articles effectively & efficiently - without drying up the Penguin ice caps
Thanks again Mat. Noted.

Be really careful with this stuff. It doesn't bring much benefit now and this is exactly the sort of low quality, automated stuff that Google is cracking down on.

Ecommerce - Discussion of Article Topics
Hello, My client is in a boring niche, not a lot of people linking anywhere. He needs good traffic within 3 and a half months. After listening to people here at seomoz, we're making five 5000-10000 word articles on topics that are useful to the customer we can promote The client is writing the information out himself and then a professional writer is going to put the final article together. We'll keep working it until it's a best-of-the-web The most useful article we have come up with is all the details about "How to select a product" There's definitely enough information for an article there. But we need to be able to promote one of the articles, and the thing that is most linked to that I've found are articles about the problems that the products solve. An article on that wouldn't be as useful to our customers. Your thoughts?

Why articles submitted to squidoo not indexed by google
Hi, I have written a few articles and uploaded to squidoo/hubpage last month and they have been accepted and I can see the links in the articles. But they dont appear in the latest link report from Google Webmaster Tools. Is it because it's delay or Google simply wont treat them as valid links? Thanks
