How Article Directories Can Hamper Your SEO Campaign

Posted on by Liz Hawkins

Article directories have played a key role in search engine optimization link building strategies for years. Directories are a place where various website owners and authors publish their content on different article submission sites. There are thousands of such directories including Goarticles, ArticleDashboard, Sooperarticles, EzineArticles and more. These directories are filled with thousands of articles related to each category.

Unfortunately, article directories are no longer the holy grail. In fact, publishing content to these directories, even the famous ones, is not only pointless, but it can actually harm your SEO campaign. Here are some of the reasons why:

Intro to Facebook Affiliate Marketing

These days, most affiliate marketers are aware of the enormous impact social networking can have on their business. But they don’t really understand how to use it to their greatest benefit. They might occasionally post about their business but, too often, their posts are either inappropriate for a business and look spammy or they put up content that is unrelated to their products or services. Sometimes they use bad social media etiquette such as posting their links on other peoples’ pages or even spamming their family and friends. None of these practices are helpful and will probably hurt your business.

Killer Off-Site SEO: Find Quality Backlinks Like A Pro

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an important part of any digital marketing campaign, and no matter how popular certain social media websites get it’s hard to beat the benefits of natural organic traffic that comes in non-stop day after day from ranking near or at the top of page one for all your major keywords in the search engines.
