Is it better to submit your articles to article directories or other blogs as guest posts? Truth be told, both offer benefits though in a slightly different way. Article directories make your content available to off-site readers and guest posts make your content available to off-site readers. But, in the end. Is one better than another? Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Article marketing is essentially syndicating your content. I have personally used this method fairly extensively and have seen my articles pop up on many websites. For the most part, the resource links stay in tact and the “nofollow” attribute is not illegally applied. Well written articles that are not “self-serving” and that have catchy, link-bait-type titles seem to do much better and syndicate much further than boring and repetitive content that is just the same ol’ stuff over and over again. One, however, really nice thing about syndication is the fact that contextual links to your site spread far and wide even if they do not all stick you can get some nice relevant fairly-contextual links. The number of links depends on how far you content gets syndicated. One of the problems with article marketing, however is that may syndicated articles have your resource links separated far from the content and this may devalue them slightly.
