Default Article Blaster Companies

I have advised people to use an article blasting service to help save time and create MANY more back links. I have heard different opinions from many different people saying that Google sees it as spam although I don't think so. I know that my site's rankings haven't been affect by this at all and everyone that I have referred to this program has said that it's been very beneficial.

I want to get other opinions on this to see if anyone else has any "bad" experiences with Google on this.

Thanks

What is your approach with article submissions? Are you submitting to targeted, high quality sites and article directories? Article marketing can indeed be very beneficial but as with anything in online marketing it needs to be targeted and of good quality.

Google probably wouldn't/couldn't penalize you for submitting to multiple sites all at once. Mainly b/c anyone could then sabotage your rankings by linking to your site from wherever they want. Make sense?

I have tried in the past using article submission companies and it was not that effective. Google knocked out many of the articles. I think the best way is to do it naturally.

You do not get affected at all. There are 2 reasons to use article submitting to several sites.

1. You create back links using the right keyword in the link. It gives to your website consistence for the keywords you want to be ranked. 95% of the ranking is Off Page (backlinks).

2. Traffic. If you have your articles targeted to an audience you will get traffc, otherwise you are playing BackLinking (point 1).

The possible penalization is not actually a penalization. Google will take only one of the duplicated content (you have submitted the same article to several sites) and will display it. If you submit 1 article to 10 sites, only one of them will be ranked.

I use a service at www.submityourarticle.com - once you have it set up, you submit your article and then they submit to multiple article sites. It has several useful features which might help you: it will send out articles in a delayed series - and also it allows you to customize different versions of the article, so each one is slightly different.

I have found that doing it myself is always the best way. I briefly used a company that submitted all the sites, but I really think Google didn't like how it was done. Plus I want to make sure I know exactly where my site is being linked to...
