Does Article Submission Help With Google Pagerank?
This is possibly one of the most asked questions with regard to article submissions on the Internet. So what is the answer?
Well the answer is not as simple as a yes or no as it can be both and it can be neither! “What?” I hear you ask!
Their are two ways of submitting articles the improper way which will result in Google giving you a few negative points and the right way which can mean various bonus Google points. While they keep fiddling about with the algorithms for Pagerank and search results the most noteworthy thing that does continue is that you have sufficient back links to your site preferably oneway.
Gone are the days when any kind of links would do in order to help towards a Google Pagerank due to a change around the beginning of 2007 the only links likely to aid you receive higher search placing and Pagerank are websites that have a Pagerank of FOUR or greater. So those of us who spent the last few years building up any links to our websites have now found that Google is no longer interested. This is not all bad news as they still benefit with Yahoo Lycos etc. So do not ignore them completely but it is best to concentrate on those with a 4 Pagerank.
One thing the majority of people forget when submitting an article is that Google will ignore duplicates. So if you add your article to a Pagerank 2 and a Pagerank 4 free submission site and they are exactly the same if Google picks up the earliest one you will only get the Pagerank 2 pointing to you by Google as I mentioned earlier this is pretty worthless now.
The only way of ensuring each submission to different article sites actually counts as helping your own Pagerank is to change the text in your article for each submission. This can be as simple as just changing synonyms or you can go as far as rearranging paragraphs. A mixture of a few things is usually best and just changing the odd word will not work either. This can be a laborious thing to do manually; luckily software is out there to assist you while some are much better than others.
So by submitting your articles to Pagerank 4 sites only and changing a reasonable number of words while retaining the same meaning each submission should count in most way towards your Pagerank.
One last thing with article submissions is that by submitting masses of different subject articles to the same site this does not benefit your Pagerank as only one link will count on Google. However the benefit this does for you is that your website is more likely to benefit from these articles being republished across the Web and a small number of these will be from sites with a decent ranking.

Cuocthiseo – Learn Earn From This Seo Contest
Quite busy these days.
But I spend some time playing with firstinVietnam SEO Contest for Vietnamese webmaster/emarketers/SEOers to compete with other for ranking no.1 in Google.com with the keyword CuocThiSEO.
The time is going up. And the game will be over next 36 hours. Right now we can see the top 3 candidates.
CuocThiSEO dot com the winner of February hmm this emarketer I guess is too clever to grab this domain when the rules are not strict.
CuocThiSEO dot Hostindexvn dot com this guy a truly SEOer I beg has some other good sites to support. This site is linked from CuocThiSEO dot com however. If everything goes on like what I guess this site will come first! He just changed his site to wordpress within 1 week.
CuocThiSEO hyphen SEO dot CO dot CC the first month winner this guy endlessly earns links from social networking sites. Hes wise enough to choose dofollow sites. This Joomlabased site just like the candidates above provides good tips a/b SEO though by just rewriting or modifying some words for better keyword density and cheating Google.
Sphereteams Ced and his French SEO mate have their sites on top 15 too. Ced is better with top 10.
Besides I realize other truly Vietnamese SEO guys such as the owner of Winnerofcuocthiseo dot Blogspot dot com who possessing other good sites like Vinabet or VnSEO just my guest and the guy of CuocThiSEO dot US dot TC. These 2 guys specially like web directories.
Well so what I LEARN from this SEO Contest?
First Google updates their algorithms all the time.
Second Sandbox still works and if you dont have more control on the web server then your site goes lost somewhere elst. Thats the case of the leading site in January hosted by Dreamhosters.
Third we can cheat Google in a certain period of time with spamming copyscaping but in long term your sites will drop down in Google SERPs.
Next the key to win any SEO Contest ispatience and cleverness!
Last SEO Contests like this are in Google consideration I guess and the giant would have some policies or penalties later. Simply sites targeting the nonsense keywords bring less value to users.
And huh what I EARN from this SEO Contest?
Well to be honest besides the 5 lessions above I really earn more than 2.52 US dollars from Adsense up to now this may increase next days with 10 clicks and 1416 impressions.
Actually therere some other interesting things a/b this SEO Contest. But I like to keep it secret now
BTW thanks guys for supporting me with some links for this CuocThiSEO SEO Contest

Creating A Traffic Avalanche Through Viral Articles
Do you have a website but struggling to generate traffic? Don’t you wish you could just sit back and let the traffic flow in an endless stream? Can someone else do the promoting for you? Well you can! And it can all happen for FREE. That’s right; we’re not talking about paid advertising here. What we’re talking about works better than paid advertising and doesn’t cost you a thing! We’re talking about article submissions.
Submitting an article to an article directory is a great way of generating traffic for your website whether you’re just starting out or just trying to increase the traffic to your site. All you have to do is write an article that would be useful to your prospects and put a resource box at the end of the article with a link to your website. A resource box is just a small statement about yourself with a link to your site for them to find out more information. Then you submit it to a few article directories. That’s it. Other people take over from this point.
What exactly happens when you post articles on an article directory is nothing short of a miracle. A lot of content hungry website owners and web masters check these article directories for articles they can use as content for their website or newsletter. But when they use your article they agree not to change the article and to leave YOUR resource box on it. They advertise your website for you! You don’t have to do anything.
I can hear you now this all sounds great but I’m not that great at writing. Well you don’t have to be! You’re not trying to sell a novel here. All you are doing is writing something that you think would be useful for someone else to know. As long as it is helpful I’m sure there will be plenty of people who WANT to read it. And the more you write the better your writing is going to get. So don’t sit around procrastinating because you don’t feel you can write good enough. Just do it. You’ll get better.
This sounds good but is it really better than paid advertising? I would say a resounding yes and there are several reasons for this. First of all it is FREE. Second it’s viral. Take a look at this scenario. If you post an article on a couple article directories and only 10 people decide to use it in their newsletter. Each of these people has 2000 people on their list. This advertises your site to 20000 people. Now imagine if 100 people used your article or if they had 20000 people each on their list. This stuff is powerful. Third it establishes you as an expert in that field. People will trust you more and will be more willing to by your product if you’ve already given them useful information. Forth after you’ve written a lot of article you can compile them into your own ebook and give it away for free with links to your site of course or sell it. Paid advertising doesn’t even compare to this.
If you don’t believe this just check out my own articles all over the web by google searching “R.G. Srinivasan” and you will find the article marketing does work and work well. Don’t waste any more time. Just start writing your articles now!
