What are the best article sites to submit to?
-
Can you submit to more than one? or do they detect that the article has already been posted on another site? Which sites do you usually use for posting articles?
Thanks,

Thanks.
I am not sure about it, but is it true that DMCA complaint can be filed in USA only.

OK... I understand now. Thank you for repeating.
Yes, if someone removes articles from your site and copies them to another site the same problem will occur. However, if they steal from you and you are motivated to do something about it you can file DMCA actions against them or sue them for copyright infringement.
It is much more likely that your work will be copied if you offer it for syndication.

I think i didn't put it the right way.
**What if after posting articles to my own site, ** others copy them, post them to their site and even change the links.
In that case, what purpose it would serve, If i post articles to my own site or to article site. Because either way, someone can always copy them.

what if others copy my articles, post them to their site and even change the links.
There is a very good chance that they will rank higher than your site in the search results.

I am not going to disagree with you. I believe this is a sound advice. But what if others copy my articles, post them to their site and even change the links. Don't you think it will hurt my site.

I only post articles on my own site.
I believe that posting articles on other websites creates new competitors and fuels existing competitors.
If you give an article related to your business keywords to another website and that site is more powerful than yours they will outrank you in your own SERPs. Do that a few times and you really damaged your business.
When I have a great article I post it on my own site and submit a two sentence description of the content to places like slashdot and reddit. These sites refer visitors to you - and when they see that you have great content they will like, tweet, link and bookmark YOUR site instead of your competitor's.
Lots of people are going to disagree with me but that's OK. They are going after short term goals of getting links and ignoring the impact of new competitors and duplicate content. (don't believe them when they say if they post it on their own site first that google will know it belongs to them.... that is BS.... PURE BS)
If one of my competitors would give me a great article and I post it on my site tonight it is a pretty safe bet that I will be above them in their own SERPs taking their traffic and making their money by 8:00 AM tomorrow morning.

Some do detect that a similar article has been posted on another site even if the article has been "spun." This is the case with HubPages and others.
I like GoArticles.com for quick turnout. EzineArticles is always a popular one, too
I also use WordPress.com, Tumblr, and other blogging sites to post as well.
I'm not sure if this was part of your question or not, but I don't recommend posting the exact same article anywhere.

Alt text from an external site
We have a relevant external website that is linking to our site through an image. What ideally should the alt text of this image be? Should it just be non-commercial as generally advised with the anchor text of an external link? Or should it include where suitable relevant keywords? Keen to know people's thoughts here! Thanks.

Network of sites
Hi guys, Wanted to get your opinion. Ran a backlink profile of a client and discovered there is a number of sites that linked to the main site. The number of sites are owned by the client and seems to be built on the purpose of just backlinking, there is footer links (exact match keyword links) The website aren't linked together in analytics or webmasters but shows up in whois under the same company. I think the best bet is get all those links removed from footer and let the domains expire once it finishes - seems to serve no purpose. But the bigger question is what are good reasons I can feed back to the client that it's has a negative affect?

Back linking to t foreign sites
One of our major competitors seems to be linking to an Asian speaking website that has a blog/product review formant. I was wondering how they are achieving this. Are there any non English /Asian sites worth submitting to and what is the best way to go about this if English is the only language you speak! And of course is it worth while doing this from an SEO perspective.

Article Marketing and Penguin
Can sites like Ezine.com and Articlebase.com still be used to create good links? I have heard since Penguin, that article submission sites like those don't work anymore for link building. I have a client who can't put new content on his site and will rely on link building, what is the best way to go about it?? Thanks.

What Are the Best Practices for Ranking for Synonyms?
This topic has me entirely confused, and unsure if we should keep a website focused on one keyword group, and using synonym contextual links to rank it for other keyword synonyms. We simply have not seen enough data or run enough tests to find our answer, and wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone has. I have seen Google rank a synonym to my search query on the first page, and is why we are confused. Let's use an example: We'll use "Industry" as the main keyword for our page. "Company" or "Companies" is viewed as a synonym by Google of this keyword. When we query "Industry", "Company" and "Companies" are also found in bold. 1.) Is it best practice to also create a unique page targeting synonyms? Our thinking is that it would be best to try and target exactly what the user is looking for rather than having a synonym to their search for better conversions, but as mentioned above we feel it's best to hit exactly what they query because that's their way of thinking. That they're looking for that exact match. 2.) Have the page "Industry", but do some link building using contextual links "Company" or "Companies" pointing back at our "Industry" page. Would this help rank our "Industry" page for "Company" or "Companies" even though the main page is "Industry"? Just not sure we want to do this as the reasoning explained in #1. Thanks for your help!
