Comments on: Should You Be Writing Articles? http://garyharvey.net/45/should-you-be-writing-articles/ Gary is a full time internet marketer with a focus on niche markets and affiliate marketing Mon, 15 Feb 2010 19:56:58 +1100 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Jay@Baby Buggies http://garyharvey.net/45/should-you-be-writing-articles/comment-page-1/#comment-1188 Jay@Baby Buggies Tue, 26 Jan 2010 06:28:58 +0000 http://garyharvey.net/should-you-be-writing-articles/#comment-1188 I agree that submitting same article to hundreds of article directories may only give good Backlinking numbers but as for google, it checks for unique articles. Even sites like Hubpages give instant alert for any article which it finds elsewhere on internet too. It's always a good practice to re-write article and make a few changes before submitting so that it is counted under unique articles list and is better rated by google.

So if you write an article, and submit and get accepted to 100 article sites... YES you may get 100 articles worth of links, but google knows their all identical and so completly devalues alot of the links (not completly makes them worthless, but worth alot less !) So you have to change the article each time. So you have time it takes to write the article, then time it takes to submit, then change the article, then resubmitt... all of this and you might get a few PR N/A sites worth of links. Its better to spend you time on somthing worthwhile. My reply to the title of this post would be: No.
