10 Articles - what to do with them to get the most for SEO?

**apg1985** · 11-05-11

Hi Guys,

Say I have 10 articles around 250-300 words, great articles so keyword density is 6%, not spun but from scratch, relevant content to the landing page its intended to help push.

I myself would post 1 every 3 days on an internal blog with 1 anchor text link in the body through to the page im pushing, wait for google to index the article on my website and then submit to maybe 20-30 article directories also with 1 anchor text link back to the page im pushing.

After that I would social bookmark the internal blog post 20-30 times.

Move on to the next until they were all gone.

What would you do with this content if you had it?

Cheers

Using facebook 30 times ie: with 30 accounts?

Erm as in Digg, Reddit, Stumbleupon etc.

I was thinking about link wheels, so free blogging sites like wordpress, weebly, blogger linking them together in a wheel and linking from each post to the page I want to push but im kinda thing now it could eat through all my good content with little link juice being pushed to my website.

Anyway Mogga I see your name thrown about quite a bit on this forum, im interested in what you would do with the 10 articles?

I'd probably add them to my own site...

I wouldn't bother with article directories although perhaps a few at ezine articles if I had more articles in the offing. I suspect the value of your written words is on your own site.

I don't see the point in spamming them to more than the main few social media places - and any linking is best done naturally anyway.

Country specific linking is probably worth a look too. Don't bother linking to places used mainly by people not in your site's geographics remit.

Write them on your own blog. Syndicate your RSS feed out and also use Twitter, Stumbleupon, facebook etc.

You can also build up a yahoo answers account by answering questions. ONce you can post links then get some in there (I know then are nofollow but they have seemed to help us in the past!)

Don't risk getting penalised for duplicate content by reusing the same article on multiple sites.

Thanks for the direction.

So you think if a website is geo-targeted to the UK, getting links from a website with the same geo-target will be more beneficial in the serp's?

Going back to the content, I guess your saying the best route for the content is to host it on my own website, research into what users are looking for and try and write content that ranks.

So as an example if I was pushing adobe's Photoshop product, I would create an article on creating call to action buttons in photoshop, in the hope it out ranks other results in Google for the query 'call to action examples' or 'call to action tutorials'.

I guess my last question which goes against what your saying and what I believe also, is would the article/tutorial be best placed on a squidoo lens because in general the links will come from relevant sites which might also be pushing the same product and they would not want to link to a website which is a competitor - basically would the quidoo lens generate more links?

Sorry for going on just want to get it clear in my head.

Thanks

I was thinking about links from a user point of view.

If you get good link placement but people can't buy anything on your site because they are in the US and your site sells to the UK then you get frustrated site users.

You should stop thinking about search engines and think a little about how people use the internet.

Why put articles on squidoo? make a quality section on your site into a mini-squidoo style thing. Make your site the resource.
