What article directories should you submit your articles to?

What are the major article directories you should manually publish articles to?

I get this question a lot of times so I figured I’d address this via a blog post…

There are 3-4 major article directories that are worth the manual effort to submit articles to…

  1. EzineArticles.com
  2. FindArticles.com
  3. Articlesbase.com
  4. Goarticles.com

Generally speaking EzineArticles, A.K.A. EZA is still the king when it comes to article directories whose published articles get the best rankings.

But you don’t need me to do that for you…

Prove it to yourself by typing in your niche keyword-based search queries and see which article directories show up before the others on a consistent basis.

In most cases EZA will be the first article directory to appear, but there are some article directories that do better than others for certain niches.

But why would anyone waste their time with manual article submissions when Unique Article Wizard sends unique versions of your articles to thousands of directories and websites?

#1- Because directories like EZA have strict quality control, only accept unique content, and your published articles will rank well if you do things correctly.

#2 – Because Unique Article Wizard doesn’t submit your articles to all 3-4 of these major article directories

Therefore there is still value to doing manual article marketing submissions if you don’t put a lot of value in your time and effort…

The fact remains that getting backlinks from these article dirrctories decreases in effectiveness with each new backlink you get from them.

The FACT is, some of the 3-4 directories will require that your articles be unique content which means you have to write yet another article plus go through another manual submission process.

On the other hand, with Unique Article Wizard, you write ONE article and the you’re done, ONE-and-DONE-done…

ONE “UAW” article submission = hundreds OR even thousands of backlinks and extremely deep and wide article syndication

My recommendation has always been to:

  • go with the “hot hand” and manually submit an article to EZA only (forget using the other major directories)
  • then use your EZA article as the basis for your article submission via Unique Article Wizard.
  • You can even link to your EZA articles from your UAW articles, in case you find yourself competing with other EZA articles for top SERPs.
