Great Article - Where do i publish it
-
I have just completed a great article (relating to advertising). I have a predicament, where do I post it? Do I contact sites related to the industry with high pr's and authority, to see if they want to feature the article? This will provide great anchor text links from the high pr site in question. Or do i submit to article directories? Or do i simply place the article on my site, and get people to link to it?
I need help!!!!
Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm a newbie (I'm sure you can tell)

Ouch. All the thumbs down aren't really necessary. Margaret is just sharing what seems to be working for her. If it works for your niche, then go for it.

I agree with EGOL's advice.
Another thing to consider is, do you interact with other influencers in your niche? If you post a good piece on content on your site, are there influential people in mind who might reasonably tweet it and help you attract additional shares and links? If not, perhaps you should share the article on a more popular site and use it to start building some relationships which will result in future links coming your way. Start building a relationship with everyone who comments on your post or tweets the link.

If you have a "message to get out" then give that article to everybody everywhere.
If you hope that the article will attract traffic, likes, tweets, etc for your site then publish it on your site and on your site only.
Don't give your best content to anybody or they will get your traffic, likes, tweets, etc. Plus they will compete against you for your own keywords. And, that will give you duplicate content.
The only exception to the above is if you can place the article on a site where it will be seen by many many many more people than will see it on your own site.

Don't put it in article directories.
If you feel that you'd be able to build enough buzz around the article and gain links from having it on your site then do that. If it's a really, really, really AWESOME, once in a career type of article then definitely put it on your site.
If it's good and you want to build relationships within your industry specifically with the webmaster of another site then publish on that 3rd party.
Hope that helps.

We have been submitting our articles to "Ezine.com" and it seems to working quite well. Another site we are just beginning to use is PRWEB.com. You have to pay, but your articles are submitted to hundreds of news sites with the potential to be picked up by them (especially if it is in fact a high quality article).

Ideas for promoting some articles that have been written about me
Hi i would like some ideas on how i promote some websites that do not belong to me. The reason i would like to promote them is because they are newspaper sites that have written articles about me that have appeared in newspapers and now they have appeared on their website. One newspaper article that was done last week which is on their site is already on page two but others that were done some time ago, a few months ago are on page six and seven and i would like to try and get them on page one. Any ideas on how i can do this would be great as this would be great to gain as much exposure from these articles as possible

Great idea to get back links in short order; however the links would be unrelated. . Is it worth the effort . BTW, it's a white hat method. Should I proceed?
I have come up with a very creative way to get some great back links using white hat methods. The problem is that the back links to the site would be to an interior page or external promotional website which then have links back to the main website. What kind of value for the main domain would this potentially achieve. What are peopLes thoughts on this idea?

I have a really good article, now what?
Hi guys, New guy to SEO and new site, need some help. I've got a really good article (Deal Guide: How to Pay $50/mo (or nothing) for Unlimited Everything on AT&T), a few days old and it's already going viral on StumbleUpon and is getting shared on Facebook and Tweeted. My question is, now what? What can I do to boost it's value? I feel like I should be doing something to further push my article and build recognition for my new website. Should I run a Facebook sponsored story and further increase "likes" and shares? Blog/Forum commenting? I've done a little bit of this but there's so many iPhone 4s articles out there, that I don't know where to start. Should I be hitting the high PR pages? How can I find out if comments are follow/no-follow? Any other ideas?

Linking articles to each other
I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued). My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)? I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.
