K,

I don't believe submitting your articles to multiple sites will hurt your article ranking. The only thing I've noticed is that if you have your article on 50 sites for instance, only one of them will show up in Google.

The positives in my opinion outweigh the negatives. The exposure you gain with your articles on 50 sites, with links pointing back to your blog, website, capture page, lens, etc... should start bringing you traffic quickly.

If your article has good content that blog owners, webmasters, etc..., believe will be a benefit to their readers, they will in turn place your article on their site.

Say for example your article is picked up 5 times from the 50 sites you've submitted to. That's 250 links back to you. If each one of those sites has only ten visitors per day. Now you've got the potential of having 2500 people being exposed to your site or offer.

The key here is writing killer articles with unique content and relevant keywords without sounding like spam.

Using quotes in finding your keywords is again, in my opinion the best way to create your keyword list. True, people searching for information do not normally use them. However, you will receive non relevant information without using them. How to train your dog will give you results for trains, hot dog, how to tie a slip not, etc... Not very helpful in your research.

Google loves Usfreeads and Squidoo. I've had first page results on Google in as little as three days with Usfreeads! I have a premium membership there, because I feel the extra benefits you receive are well worth the 9.95 a month. You should be able to get the same results with the free option. The only way you'll find out is to give the free way a try and check your results.

The internet is loaded with free information! You shouldn't be in such a hurry to give your money away. Joining a membership site like Wealthy Affiliate or Affiliate Cash Secrets is fine to do if you can swing the monthly dues.

I'm a member of Desktop Bucks which is free and it helped me quite a bit. I also paid a one-time membership to Profit Lance, which I think was well worth the price. Mike updates the site fairly often with current trends, so it's an ongoing learning experience.
