I use two places at the moment,

The first one is Article Productions -

This site is so great for ranking on the first page of Google with very little SEO work.
Plus the tools that James has in the back office are just incredible. He really gives
you some really great tools to dominate with.

The second one that is use is ArticleRanks -

This is what I use to get my articles submitted to all sorts of different websites,
the better you spin your articles, the more it will be published.
(These articles are either pointing back to my Article Productions Article, or it
will go directly to my 'Money Site'.

Once I get all the backlinks built by my article being submitted to many sites,
I will then continue to to build backlinks for those backlinks.

Super SEO!

Isaac,

Is Article Ranks a blog network like Free Traffic System?
How much does it cost and how are the results (in terms of keyword competitiveness)?

Hey Jagan,

There are two ways you can pay,

$30/month or "Free"

Now I say "Free" because, you need to submit a PR1+ Wordpress blog
that will be used for articles.

I purchased one for $30 at Digital Point Forums

For every article that gets published on your site,
you get credits to post articles.

As for the competitiveness, I'm not sure if I follow what exactly you mean.

Thanks for the reply.

What I meant by keyword competitiveness is that for what kind of keywords (I am not asking for the exact ones) were you able to take the top slots?

Usually most article submitters can get your articles out there and somehow get you top slots for long tail keywords but they struggle for even moderately competitive keywords.

I would love to know

What kind of keywords do you target when submitting your articles to this system?
How many times does your article get indexed?
How many spun articles do you have to send in there to get your desired rankings(I know this varies for every situation) but on a rough scale, what are your experiences?

I am asking this question because in my initial article marketing attempts I kept sending spun article one after the other to free traffic system yet my money article was stuck in the second page.

A few hand submissions to 5 article directories plus hubpages and squidoo showed a drastic improvement. My article had moved to the first page quite easily. That was when I realized merely throwing links at every site isn't going to work.

Since blog networks consists of blogs that are present just for the heck of getting content, the backlinks are usually close to being worthless. That's why I am asking about your experiences with this blog network.

One keyword I went for was a long tail,
with 32,000,000 million results and
close to 2,000 views per month.

This has ranked an article of mine from
a few views to almost 500 views.

I haven't tried for short tail keywords,
but I know one guy who ranks very
competitively for short tail keywords.

I have seen peoples articles get published
close to 200 times. It depends on how well
your article is spun. Mine are usually about
200% unique, so they do well.

So far this site has done well, and I am very
impressed. I have some big plans for the upcoming
future

Question, my friend...What does the "AP" stand for?

AP = Article Productions.com forum

Hi Michael,

I have watched Rob Fore's article marketing bootcamp twice and all I can say is that it's very easy to understand and very valuable. He had laid out a step by step article marketing plan so you can follow his proven method. The secret is really on the tools and the strategy itself. I did hear good things about Article Productions but haven't tried it yet. Hope this helps.

Have you seen what lessons on article marketing you have right here in Better Networker? You can get alot of traffic from right here. Joining the ABN for starters.

[Dave Lewerenz Company: Site Build It! Contribution Level: 1]

I'm reasonably new to article marketing, but I have read a few places where it says that it's not a good idea to post the same article on different article directories, as Google penalizes (non-corporates) for duplicate content on several sites.

Have you all heard anything along those lines before?

(and Hi, I'm Dave Lewerenz... brand new around here)

[Sonny Lanorias Company: MyLeadSystemPRO Contribution Level: 4]

Hi Dave,

Spin your articles if you plan to submit your articles to thousands of article directories. You can spin it manually or use a software that does it for you. If you don't spin, your content losses its SEO value.
