What are the best Article Submission Syndicates?
-
We are currently trying to ramp up our link building using article submission syndicates.
So far I have researched
-SeoCosmo
-Isnare
-SubmitShop
What is everyones opinon on these three website for submitting articles. Can anyone recommend any other good Submission websites?
Thanks You!

With the resources you seem to have with "employees" writing unique and relevent content that has value to your visitors, then you should already have a fantastic & comprehensive blog to showcase on. If you don't then you need to put your efforts into building your blog and turning the tables so it's an engaging place that people will want to comment on, link to and all the other blog benefits.
Stay well away from article submission sites, as Brad says, he ignores requests full of remorse everyday. it's organic search karma, what we do today, impacts on our future! Don't make your future, writing to people like Brad begging for the links to be removed. Ain't gonna happen!

I have a client who did this. He did it well and has hundreds of sites with these syndicated types of links from isnare, articlebase, thefreelibrary, article directories etc. Guess what? They got hit by penguin and panda. I can tell you it is of NO value. 90% of their back links are from these types of links and they are positions 200+ for the keywords that are in those articles.
It doesn't matter if the content is not spam or not. It could be the answer to cancer. Google doesn't know that, it's just going to see all these sites have the same content on it and as Matt Cutts said, they won't index all the other duplicates. And that is all they see, duplicate content. So they devalue it.
...maybe even penalize to stop people doing it.

a) Understand that you're likely not going to be able to build high-quality links at a mass rate -- with that said, it's quite easy to build low-quality links at a mass rate.
b) You have writers creating original content -- turn your focus to guest posting on high-quality sites. You'd be surprised how many opportunities are out there.
c) It's a marathon not a sprint.

I guess the shorter question with the longer answer is:
How do we build Panda friendly links at a mass rate?
Thank you,

Brad, you're likely talking right over my head, so excuse my sophomoric response.
The content we are writing and then posting is NOT spam at all - it is actual relevant content written by our employees who provide the most value to our customer/user/visitor base.
So again, my question relates back to which services help get that good content out to sites.
Also, we do not allow for spamming on any comment sites we manage. The request to comment comes in, and is deleted if it is spam. I'd like to think there is a way to get our content to sites with the same "no spam" policy.
Lastly, using SEOMoz Pro Tools i am finding that the sites kicking our butt, have.......wait for it.....the most links. And I have great confidence that our competitors are not manually calling up web masters and asking to trade links at a rate resulting in 900,000 links!
Should i assume that they will soon fall (these are established brands within our niche - not johnny-come-lately's)?
I will pivot away from Article Link Building if that is the consensus...
Thank you for the insight.

Here's the best way to proceed with article submission/syndication:
Stop.

"but the value of article links isn't completely dead" Maybe not at this exact moment but they are dead for sure. The amount of work you will have to do to unravel this mess won't be worth whatever short term gains you have. I own network of content sites with commenting. I'm receiving 15-20 requests per day to remove links because people tried to spam up my sites with comments pointing to their site. I can't possibly spend the time to remove their links so I'm forced to just ignore the 15-20 requests and they most likely continue to stay penalized. I recommend the videos about doing RCS with Will and Paddy Moogan's talk from mozcon as well. Rand had a great WBF about link earning. Good luck.

Mat,
I appreciate the guidance, and we have been paying attention to the news from Penguin releases/updates. By no means is low value link building the cornerstone of our strategy, but the value of article links isn't completely dead.
Furthermore, your remarks are the point to our question. Knowing that some of these submission sites suck, what is a good way to post articles effectively & efficiently - without drying up the Penguin ice caps
Thanks again Mat. Noted.

Be really careful with this stuff. It doesn't bring much benefit now and this is exactly the sort of low quality, automated stuff that Google is cracking down on.

Focus on guest blogging not working; what's the best quick fix?
I have always used strictly white-hat SEO tactics, targeting long-term results, my main focus being on quality guest blogging. I have been working on a site for around 6 months, and I started out with my keywords ranking very well, but very little traffic was coming to the site. 2 weeks ago I expanded my keyword list considerably in an effort to drive more traffic, but last week my keywords all took a nosedive. My client wants an answer by Thursday. I know there's no quick fix, but what's the best way to quickly get my rankings back up and serious traffic to the site? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How do I best leverage second EMD domain with same keyword as an important page on my other site?
(Fictional domain names and keywords follow) Let's say I have an Adense site called Diets.com And on that site I've got 10 pages for the ten most popular diets, and each of those pages is optimized for the diet name. Let's imagine one of these pages is called, "The low-carb diet." Then I went out and purchased the domain name LowCarbDiet.com. How do I best use this new domain name? My options seem to be: 1. Build an adsense site on LowCarbDiet.com. But isn't it a problem when the the same owner of LowCardDiet.com and Diets.com are trying to rank for the same keyword? The new site would be trying to rank for "low carb diet" and so would the appropriate page on Diets.com. I think Google doesn't like this. True? 2. Make a one-page introductory informational site with no ads on the new LowCarbDiet.com. Have a prominent link from that site to the appropriate page on Diets.com for the reader to get "further information." This link with the proper anchor text should help boost the page in Diets.com in the SERPs. IF Google doesn't dislike that. SO...is one idea better than the other? Are neither a good idea? Is there a better way to utilize this new domain? It's important because this second domain name's keyword is about to get a huge amount of search traffic. The new, parked domain name is currently registered in the same name as the existing site's name. I could change the registration or privacy it, but I assume Google maintains records of all past registered owners, and if so, I can't really hide ownership.

Should I post an article to the same article site each month or should I vary the sites I post them to?
Hi Community,
Link Building | | acs111
Im planning on creating an article each month centred around 1 keyword.
Is it best to post this to the same site. eg http://ezinearticles.com/ every month or should I try to post it to a mixture of different sites? I'm trying to rank a site higher for their chosen keyword by gaining links from anchor text within each article I create.0 -
