Hello

Automated article submission services are not very effective anymore. Any automated service can be detected in time by Google as being a un-natural link building strategy and the links will be of very little (if any) value.

If you wish to do article submisions, it is best to do it manually using a variety of keywords and even using anchor text like "click here" or "read more here" or even no anchor text at all to make the links look more natural.

Article site links are far less valuable now with Googles Panda and Penguin updates but the still can help if you keep them looking natural. Here is a good list of article sites that should help you.

PS do you still believe it's worth investing in article spinning or are you better off focussing on other areas of link building?

I am also very curious about this as well.
Just doing a few manual submissions to places like ezine ect, would be the best?

What other areas should we be focusing on to build quality back links.

I think that it is still good to write top quality articles and spin them well to put on article sites. The links that they contain may not be all that good but in time people may use them on their blogs which can give you some targeted direct traffic.

Hi Kirsty,

Article network sites are still good but not as much as it was before. Still, you can get good backlinks from these services. But like others said, you do not need to focus all your marketing efforts from these sites alone.

If you are going to do article marketing, you can do guest posting and also news/press release to really get good backlinks to your website. Doing link wheel is also a good idea.

As for spinning content, yes this is useful. But make sure that you spin your content to at least 50% uniqueness.

I hope that helps!
