What would you do with unqiue articles?
-
Hi,
If you had 10 articles which are unqiue and around 400 - 600 words what would you do with them?
I personally would more then likely put on squidoo, wordpress, blogger, weebly, hub pages etc and orientate the setup of these around my target keyword so the title tags, urls, h1's and content are around the term and then place anchor text links (2 of them) in the content of each one.
I would then social bookmark each on the top 10 sites.
Because it takes so long for me to write the content I sometimes think would it be best to put on the onsite blog.
What would others do with this content, is there something else I could do with it that would have a great impact on rankings?

I agree with EGOL. When people say that your best content belongs on your website, I always ask myself - why are you spending time creating content that isn't your best? Whether you intend to put an article on your website or use it for a guest post opportunity, you owe it to yourself to only put your name on the best quality work you can produce. You'll create way more opportunities for yourself down the road as you start to be seen as an expert in your niche.

What I would do with them depends upon their quality.
If they are best-on-the-web for their topic I would post on my own site and recruit links into them.
If they are less than best-on-the-web for their topic I would improve them.
If they are really bad I would offer them to a competitor.

agree on the spinning. That word really has a black hat rep, i prefer to say "re-write". I have in-house content writers and myself, so its a tactic will utilized but closely monitored.
Link wheels are like link building. Most services are bad and spammy, but every once in a while, you find some decent ones. I have used one called PostRunner before, and they turn out some decent article & blog posting service.

mmm I know of both these methods and they kind of lean into the dark arts if you know what I mean.
The first one I would not do purely because I would be worried I had not spun the article enough but its till a known method just not for me.
Second one is interesting because I have heard pros and cons on link wheels, I have to admit mostly bad but some good.

I would do a couple of things:
1. Spin the articles for your own on-site blog. Although many SEOs look down on article spinning, a good article spun by a good source (even yourself) can double the content. That way you have something to still put on your site's blog, ans have something to marketing with that is not duplicate content.
2. Find a good link wheel service that will take your article and put then up on relevant blogs and social sites. (similar to what gianpeach said)

Yeap that is a very good option as well, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

What about writing a guest post for a decent related site?

What should I look for when choosing a good article directory for SEO purposes?
I have been writing SEO content for blogs for the past year or so, but I am fairly new to article directories. With SEO in mind, what makes a particular article directory valuable? Currently I'm using EzineArticles and Squidoo; I liked Ezine in particular because of their thorough review process. I saw that recently Squidoo also amped up their checks for original content as a result of Google's stricter policies. I was interested in using HubPages also since they are good about reviewing content. I'm just curious how much factors like this reflect on an article directory SEO-wise. Are there any additional factors that set a a good article directory apart?

Back to Basics: Article Directories :)
Does anyone do this? I don't any more but what I used to do is: Find 20 article directories I thought were good, register to all and note down in a excel sheet. Generate 1 article (500 words) and make a byline to go with it containing my anchor text link. I would then systematically go through my excel sheet submitting my article to each one. 2 weeks later repeat the process. This is something I used to do a few years ago but stopped because it was duplicate content across the directories but I think I was probably going about it the wrong way. Anyone?

Is it Better to Link to an Article or Post it on my Site?
I have a client who has a few articles written about her and posted on different news-related sites. She has asked me to capture these articles (we have permission) and create a section on her site for them. My question is this... From an SEO standpoint, would it be better to link _to the _articles, post them on her site or both? Or, maybe there's an even better way I'm not thinking of. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kirk

How do you feel about article directories?
Hello, I am a beginner in SEO and I have been reading a lot recently about article directories and article marketing. I have already started writing for article directories, ezinearticles particularly, but I still have mix feelings about it: does it really worth spending some time to write unique articles and to submit them to directories? How does Google feel about it? What do you think about small linkwheel strategies to give some weight to the content you create?

What white hat article marketing tactics do you use?
It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article? What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS? Any methods you use to score quick backlinks? How do you get your content in front of bloggers?
