What would you do with unqiue articles?
-
Hi,
If you had 10 articles which are unqiue and around 400 - 600 words what would you do with them?
I personally would more then likely put on squidoo, wordpress, blogger, weebly, hub pages etc and orientate the setup of these around my target keyword so the title tags, urls, h1's and content are around the term and then place anchor text links (2 of them) in the content of each one.
I would then social bookmark each on the top 10 sites.
Because it takes so long for me to write the content I sometimes think would it be best to put on the onsite blog.
What would others do with this content, is there something else I could do with it that would have a great impact on rankings?

I agree with EGOL. When people say that your best content belongs on your website, I always ask myself - why are you spending time creating content that isn't your best? Whether you intend to put an article on your website or use it for a guest post opportunity, you owe it to yourself to only put your name on the best quality work you can produce. You'll create way more opportunities for yourself down the road as you start to be seen as an expert in your niche.

What I would do with them depends upon their quality.
If they are best-on-the-web for their topic I would post on my own site and recruit links into them.
If they are less than best-on-the-web for their topic I would improve them.
If they are really bad I would offer them to a competitor.

agree on the spinning. That word really has a black hat rep, i prefer to say "re-write". I have in-house content writers and myself, so its a tactic will utilized but closely monitored.
Link wheels are like link building. Most services are bad and spammy, but every once in a while, you find some decent ones. I have used one called PostRunner before, and they turn out some decent article & blog posting service.

mmm I know of both these methods and they kind of lean into the dark arts if you know what I mean.
The first one I would not do purely because I would be worried I had not spun the article enough but its till a known method just not for me.
Second one is interesting because I have heard pros and cons on link wheels, I have to admit mostly bad but some good.

I would do a couple of things:
1. Spin the articles for your own on-site blog. Although many SEOs look down on article spinning, a good article spun by a good source (even yourself) can double the content. That way you have something to still put on your site's blog, ans have something to marketing with that is not duplicate content.
2. Find a good link wheel service that will take your article and put then up on relevant blogs and social sites. (similar to what gianpeach said)

Yeap that is a very good option as well, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I have managed to land a few expert pieces on external sites for my company and would like to document that on our blog in the form of mini-blurbs which lead through to the article... but if I link back to it, is that bad practice?
Of course link sharing can be punishable if it is done to share juice, and I understand that on the surface it could look like link sharing, but in reality it would just be nice to document the different successes we've had. Thoughts?

Is it safe to submit the same article to multiple sites?
Hello, I am just getting into SEO and I need some guidance with article submissions. I have read in many different places that submitting articles to other sites (EzineArticles, Digg, Etc.) is a great way to build links back to your site. My question is, can I submit articles already posted on our site to these sites or is it best to write new articles?

UK article websites
Hello world 🙂 I'm looking for good UK article websites that are allowing anchor text links. Something like Ezine Aticles ... I found the SEOMoz 400top directories, but I'm searching for something that will give to me anchor text links. It doesn't matter if the directories have strict moderation, actually it's better, I'm not using spinner or anything similar. Thanks.

What white hat article marketing tactics do you use?
It seems there's a lot of negative connotations with the phrase "Article Marketing" as it's associated with spam, spinning, etc. I couldn't find anything other than that, which begs to ask, what are the white hat tactics that you use after you publish your article? What tools do you use to streamline the process? Social Bookmarking? RSS? Any methods you use to score quick backlinks? How do you get your content in front of bloggers?
