Its called syndication. Google does not dislike this, in fact it pretty much understands that this is the whole ground that the internet was built upon.
If I use software to submit to 100 sites and you do it manually here is the difference.
Lets start by assuming that we both write at the same pace. While I consider this number high, lets just say we both can write an article in an hour. I then put the article into my software and start varying my links and anchor text (to help rank other parts of my site, possibly even other areas I also want to rank, like a hub or lens). You start your manual submissions.
I get going probably 10 minutes behind you, but then I hit one key and I can now shift gears to another project while the software does the rest of the work. Even if you are the fastest copy/paster in the world, you are not gonna match my efficiency. I am not wasting any further time with the article once I start the submisison.
From this point I start writing another article while you are still working on your first submissions. Saying it takes me another hour to write this new article, my program will be finished with the first round of submissions around the time I finish with my second article.
What I am saying is that you are doing the same thing as me, I am just automating the process to free the most valuable of my resources.. time. My spending thus far has been on a few info products (things to help article marketing efforts only) and software to free up my time. I currently have to devote upwards of 75 hours a week to my J.O.B., so my reinvestments go into saving me time.
My process is much faster than this, but things had to be streamlined to be effectively contrasted.
As far as google not liking article submissions... silly thoughts. The internet is, effectively, nothing more than billions of articles. If it did not like article submission any more CNN/Newsweek/Fox/etc would drop like an anvil in the SERPS. And having just now done a check.. they are all on the first page for the keyword news. These guys are way more guilty on mass submission than any of us would ever try to be.
It hurts nothing. It saves time and gets your work out there more.
Base your information on facts and I will back down. Ill tell you that I have done my testing on the same concepts that I also once questioned and can tell you that you are doing yourself a great disservice if you aren't submitting to more than one site.
If you want to submit one at a time, with a unique article for each service.. be me guest. Ill write less articles, get more links and traffic, and still end up ranked for the terms I want to be ranked for because I know the truth about syndication.
Personally I would rather have one article for 100+ links, than 100 articles for the same amount. Google counts the links as long as the article is indexed. Test it and you will see the truth. Use a pen name and a blogger blog.. its all the same. This is a test that takes time to prove, but it is easily proven.
I am trying to get both traffic and links to my websites using article marketing. When I write new article I submit it to EzineArticles first. This article directory is the best when it comes to the traffic which I get through the author resource box. Actually, traffic from EzineArticles is higher than from all other article directories together.
After some time (one week or later) when the article is indexed by the main search engines I use Article Post Robot in manual mode to submit my article to other article directories.
Let's start sharing experience and practices on how to get as many benefits from article submission process as it is possible. For example, I select the certain key phrase the article should be oriented on. It should be pointed out that this key phrase should be included in webpage text. I write an article with the volume of about 500-600 words. Key phrase density in the article should be at least 3%. Afterwards, I add this key phrase in incoming link text. It is desirable to include the key phrase in article title as well. What article submission techniques do you use in practice?
It depends on the site you are submitting to.
For instance, EZA would NEVER accept a keyword density of over 1.5% - 2% at the most.
Other sites like AC do not mind 3% keyword density.
I have been most successful on EZA 9reaching page 1) with 1% KD and 350 -500 words, keyword EARLY in title, summary, and paragraphs.
AC is much less picky.
Hope this helps
Patrick
