So someone very recently shared a list of the top 50 article directories. And I asked myself, why would I need a list of 50 article directories? However, for a lot of people, they still think that submitting to more article directories is a good thing.
Personally I don’t think you should be wasting your time submitting to more than half a dozen or so article directories, there are much easier ways to make more of your articles than mass article submission.
Having said that, if you are going to submit to a number of directories then you need to make sure that you’re using the best ones out there. So I cut the list down to just 10. Don’t waste your time submitting articles to more than this. There really isn’t any need.
Yes, you might get more backlinks, but there are other ways to get better backlinks and reach a much wider audience with your articles. At the end of the day, the purpose of article marketing is to get you more visitors, not more backlinks.
The backlinks are just there to help the search engines find you and move you up in the SERPS. Visitors, not backlinks are what bring in the money people. Stick to this list and don’t waste your time autosubmitting to hundreds of article directories. Go write another article instead. ![]()
