How do I distributing Articles to the correct sites
-
I'm relatively new to the SEO world, however, I've landed myself a SEO job for a mobility bath, shower and wetroom company.
I've optimize the pages and added links to directories BUT I would like to start gaining quality links. I've wrote articles, including keyword links, but I would like to know the best strategy to get articles distributed to generic/industry specific sites.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!Thanks in advance

Hi Neville,
Article links are pretty low value most of the time, so instead of answering that question can I suggest you look at guest blogging instead which while also sometimes lending itself to low value links and content is at least usually a step up from article spinning sites.
Check out this recent post on guest blogging, lots of good info in there and then rework your articles a bit to be suitable for your selected blogs. You will need to be creative in your blog selection and your communications with the owner to ensure best results but needless to say if the process of publishing the article/post and getting the link does not involve real communication with a real person then 9 times out of 10 that link is going to be pretty much worthless in the best case and potentially penalty inducing in the worst. Also, take it easy on the keyword links! Any decent blog will usually insist on only a branded author bio link, something to keep in mind.
My two cents!

Article Backlinks To Product Pages
I am writing a number of 500 word articles and have read that Top 10 lists are becoming more and more popular on the web. So my thoughts are to write an article about the the 'Top 10 Mens Grooming Products 2013' for example. My questions is - do I post this article on my own website with the 10 links to the product pages using the product name as 'anchor text', or post the article to somewhere like Squidoo containing the links to my product pages. Which strategy has more SEO value?

Any value in link building to local pages on my site?
If I'm trying to rank for the term 'wedding band' with my url: http://www.musicliveuk.com/home/wedding-bands will linking to local pages such as: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-bands/wedding-bands-london help the main page to rank? I added the 'local' pages to try and pick up any traffic from long tail search queries but my main focus is on getting the main page to rank as the traffic from long tail queries is so small. So is it worth me spending time building links to these local pages in order to try and help the main page rank?

Anyone Still Use Article Directories?
Thinking of phasing this out. Too many spammy links in these. Does anyone still use article websites for 'white hat' SEO? E.g. create a high-quality article, then post it using 'branded' anchor text, e.g. link is the name of the business or URL.
