Huge List of Article Directories for Backlinks, Traffic, and Authority

If you're new here, please let me know if you agree with, disagree with, love, or hate my posts. Your comments and feedback will help make this site better for everyone. Just use the comment form at the bottom of any post to let me know your thoughts. Finally, as a small reward for those who take the time to comment, I've disabled "no-follow" so your comment will count as a backlink. Thanks for visiting!

Thanks in large part to the efforts of Travis Sago, nearly all Internet Marketers are very familiar with the concept of article marketing (or Bum Marketing, as Travis coined). With article marketing, you post your articles (content) on popular and high-ranking article directories with the intent of driving a percentage of the readers to your sales page.

However, article directories can also serve two other important functions: authority and backlinks.

When you post a bunch or articles all surrounding your niche and each of these articles points back to your product (which is also tied to your name), you can build yourself as an authority in that niche. Obviously the articles must be informative and accurate. Done correctly, this can lend quite a bit of credibility to the claims you make in your sales copy. As with article marketing, the more people who see your articles, the better, so the larger directories work best.

The third use for article directories is to build backlinks.

For this purpose, not only is it good to post your articles on the higher-ranking directories, it’s also good to post your articles across many different directories. This gives your backlinks the IP diversity that Google prefers. Some people might claim that posting the same article to many different directories will lead to the “duplicate content penalty.” That’s just not the case. While many of the articles will show in Google’s supplemental results if you search for a phrase from the article, multiple copies of an article can and will show up as backlinks within the Google Webmaster tool.

The below list is a great group of article directories to post to. It’s a good spread of high and low PR sites so that the links look more natural. For those who are on a tight budget, you can post your articles manually.  For those wishing to automate, every one of these article directories are included within Article Post Robot. This program is a one-time purchase (unlike many of the subscription-based backlinking products), and it works very well. Click here for more information about Article Post Robot.

(The PageRank shown below indicates the rank of the directory’s home page. Some of this authority is passed down to your articles, but your actual article will be PR0 unless you build it through further backlinking.)
