Submitting articles – rewording content?

damn lol, if your doing 10 im going to have to do 20 which means hes going to do 40… round and round it goes!!

lol, 10 a day.. no, I don’t do that many. You do way more than me. I do about 5 per week, but now I have to go for more. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

…but i’ll put in double the number of links in mine than you do in yours!

I would recommend hiring writers to get the amount of articles you are looking for. 10 a day is pretty aggressive. I have always had the approach that the external links had to be proportional to the amount of content you have.

Good luck.

Sounds good Webber. :hattip:

Would be awesome if you could post back in a couple of weeks with your results. Not too much detail, just Submission:article published:backlink ratio’s…

I have to agree with the comments around articles being written primarily for the links they can generate to your site. Writing an article a day to place on your own website is great for generating more content that you can rank for, and those articles should definitely be top notch.

But, I think the original question was more about how to best submit articles to directories that won’t get hit with duplicate content penalties by Google. The strategy for this is writing one good article and then spinning it multiple times for each of the directories. This was actually a new concept to me yesterday, until reading through the hub pages article, which leads you to an article spinning website. The site is actually fairly decent and seems like it would work well. I’ve taken one strong article, spent 4 hours on setting it up in Jetspinner and now have hundreds of unique articles that can be submitted to directories. Will have to see if it is worthwhile, but for 4 hours of time, the most I can loose is the time (and a few bucks for the submission service).

In the end, as bad as it may sound, more links are more links when it comes to SEO. And the more links you have, the better off you will be.

I didn’t say one article per week; I said one article per day.

And I stand by my advice. Quality is going to win out over rehashed content all day every day.

I’ve had plenty of so-called “Hollywood rankings” too. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

I completely disagree.

You aren’t selling purple polka dot widgets in [your town], your competing in one of the top 3 markets. The other being sex and drugs.

If you do it right, as the top 20 for any Hollywood gaming terms are, it can work wonders…if its done right.

Run with the wolves or the field mice. One hunts and the other is hunted (and eaten by the first).

You cannot possibly integrate a PR strategy with one article a week, no matter if Phil and Doyle endorses it themselves, and sustain traffic or rankings in this, or ANY competitive market. PR’s are nor the ‘end-all’, but they are a very effective addition to an overall strategy.

livegirl1 I run SEO for 30% of the top 20, and 66% of the top 3 for 2 of the top 3 hollywood terms in gaming. So its up to you in the end.

I don’t ever mean to ruffle feathers here but if you are looking for an aggressive approach that’s done right, and under the radar…you are pointed the right way.

With respect to my esteemed colleagues.

I agree baggsy,

If could buy 1 truly great article that would negate spending resources on it, and that was syndicated deservingly, I would pay a small fortune for it. Maybe even a little more.

I agree with Mr Scubaguy; though i’d no idea what Hollywood had to do with SEO until I re-read the sentance… :sarcasm:

With all due respect to a lot of the better article submission sites out there, the only reason that anyone uses the majority of them is for links back to their site. In that light then, does it really matter how well written the articles are? Who reads them?

Now i’m not saying you should throw keyword heavy junk onto a page and submit it, but if you can create many more unique (and readable) articles in only a little more time, i’d go for that over a beautifully crafted Shakespeare-esque masterpiece any day…

You’d be a lot better off, from an SEO and traffic perspective, generating 1 unique article a day instead of trying to generate 10 “rewritten” articles a day. The amount of value that real unique content has is exponentially greater than bogus, rewritten content.

I completely agree with Randy.

However, if you manage your time well, livegirl1, you could still make your 10 article per day mark (with content reworded). Once you complete the original; take a 5 – 10 min break and go back to the document. Consider that original now as a draft that someone wants you to rewrite for them. You would be surprised how many different ways you can spin one article. Whatever you do, try to ensure that each sentence is differently worded; even if it means a simple change to a word (omit, use a synonym. And, as another person suggested, use copyscape to review duplicates.

Whatever you decide on, Good Luck!
