I would like to know the best places to submit articles. Free would always be best; but I not against paying if required. We launched a site within the "Home and Garden" industry and have tonnes of into to share.

Hey Mat
Interesting response you've written.
It appears that Post Panda, Google has cracked down on article submissions i.e. not giving much value at all?
So would you agree, that one is better off writing an article and posting it in their own blog, and in their own social media pages?
Cheers
George

Matt is right on this.
Some years you may have tried to look for satellite websites or more. Now it's definitely not recommended.
In our case we reviewed all our competitors backlinks to see if there is any good website to do guest blogging with.
But the main guideline is now is: write content, make it good and useful, promote it on social media.
It is the best methods (at least the 7/30/13)

Hi SpadaMan,
Submitting articles usually means finding sites that only existing to host other people's articles, giving them a link in exchange for the article content. That approach has always been flawed and Google has been cracking down on it as deliberate manipulation of the results. Definitely steer clear.
If your articles are original and useful then your best bet is likely to be to use them on your own website. Start adding them on a regular basis, and push them out through social media at the same time. You could contact sites in your niche and see if they would take a and credit you as the author (with a link) as well.
If they aren't original and interesting/useful then your options are going to be limited. However I'd rather opt for "do nothing" than submitting them to article directories.

Images in articles - copying the authority in my industry
Hello, For my site, BobWeikel.com, I have an article about the type of coaching I do. It's called "What is NLP?" Here's the link. The two authorities in my industry which I respect the most have no (or sometimes one) images or anything in their best articles - it's all just text. Some examples of these authoritative articles are here and here. Note the second article has one image in it. That's common for that author, and he's the top person in the field. Note that that first link has no images at all. I'd like to refine my article until I can compete. Should I leave out all images since that's what the big guys are doing? Thanks!

How to articles for FAQ, but wait it's shoes or clothing
Hello, I was given the great advice of sticking with 5 long, stellar, graphically well developed articles in the article section of an ecommerce site. And to put lots of how-tos articles (links to them) in the FAQ. But what articles do you put in the FAQ if you're selling things like shoes or clothing? Thanks.

Removing and resubmitting an article to another blog
I received a guest post earlier from an SEO company. I have published it, and it's been indexed in Google. Now the person wants me to remove the guest post, probably because they already have a guest post with a link pointing to the same client on my blog. I don't mind removing it, but are their any negative aspects in republishing that same article on another blog? Would it be a mistake to remove that article from my blog?

Best strategy for content/articles. Individual pages or blog posts?
Hi all, Whilst adding content to one of my sites quite often I'm left deciding whether I should create an individual webpage for the content, or write it up as another blog post. More often I write it up as a static page so it fits in with the rest of my website more 'directly'. However I'm wondering if I'm missing out here as obviously I'm not taking advantage of the benefits of a blog, RSS, Tag Cloud, etc etc... Just wondering if others encounter the same quandary?
