Dear Nickitta,

I can't speak for all of the directories listed in your post, however, Ezinearticles is pretty much the gold standard with Internet Marketers. That being said, it is important to use more than one :-)

I no longer submit to articles directories. I submit my articles directly to the publishers of sites like SiteProNews and PromotionWorld. That being said, if I were going to submit to article directories, I would submit to the following 5 directories:

EzineArticles
GoArticles
ArticlesBase
IdeaMarketers
Buzzle

EzineArticles is the big daddy of the Article directories. Years ago we spent hours submitting to dozens of 'em but nowadays that not so effective.

If the only directory you submit to is ezine you'll do fine.

The point is to go for a large number of articles submitted to ezine and not be too concerned about the second best directories.

Good Luck

Alex

Hello!

I just want to post an update on this thread.

An "experienced and successful" internet marketer has recommended that I do the following:

- Post on my blog first
- Post on Ezine
Once article has been accepted by Ezine
- Post on Goarticles and articlebase.com
- Re-write slightly and post on Buzzle.com

[AlexNewell]

And your question is...?

:-)

I agree - I would only recommend submitting your article to Ezinearticles.com and a few others of the ones mentioned above by David Jackson - it can be counter productive if you send the same article to too many article directories.

Hi Dave

The site you mention look really busy and a lot going on could you elaborate a little on why you think they are good and the way you use them.

I have not posted in awhile, but part of the thread I was on I said I was going to stick with one method and stay with it and not pay attention to the cacophony of other marketing noise, the method I chose was article marketing.
I just recently started Ezine articles 90 day challenge where as I am not on target it is a great discipline to have a target of the 100 articles to write.

I have found that I write an article for Ezine get it published then spin it and put it out to most of the directories mentioned. I then turn them into a short video and submit to youtube and other video sharing sites. I was using the free tubemogul site but they told be I have to upgrade as my content is commercial.

I got my first clickbank chq recently and I had it sitting on my desk for a few days just to look at before I cashed it :-)
