Should I submit my articles to article submition sites myself or have a service submit my articles for me?

[allstatetransmission]

It seems that articles I've written about the transmission industry and submitted aren't being noticed by Google. The sites I've submitted them to were free sites, so my question is should I pay to submit them, or pay a service to submit them for me? Or, should I just continue to submit them myself to as high a ranking site as I can find?

Article posting is mostly a waste of time.

dont bother posting to sites that are made just for placing articles. Rtry to get your article placed on a relevant site or blog that is not built just for that purpose.

Submit them yourself and in case I lacked clarity, submit them yourself or hire a staffer to do so. Most article submission sites are .... not liked by me.

The problem is that the engines know who is generally spinning, etc. and there are more poor than truly effective article submission sites IMO.

Look for blogs on moz about this and how to get articles picked up and remember quality content will get uptake. When you see someone else in your industry that blogs and you like their stuff, comment on it and follow up later with some of yours regarding posting.
