Article Distribution Services-any Recommendations?

Posted by Kevin McIntosh on 7/29/2008 at 5:49 PM ET 125 Points
I'd like to start offering my copywriting to clients needing articles. Can anyone recommend a distribution service or at least things I need to be aware of when choosing a distribution service? i.e. spam protection, which services get picked up by the best blogs, html conversion (or whatever the right tech phrase would be?). Thanks.

    Why don't you just get your own blog and publish the articles there. That way you have full control of what is being published.

    Well, I know if you google article distribution, you get lots of results-I'm just trying to figure out if anyone has worked with these and if so, which one they recommend. I'd rather have my client's articles on other blogs (related to their respective target's interests). I guess I could manually submit to the more relevant blogs, it just would be time consuming.

    What your client really wants are articles in places that their prospects read (to build traffic, backlinks, and name recognition). Many of the services will do a "spray and pray" of articles, submitting them to article banks, etc. Instead, a great service you could provide is to identify the top 10 locations for placing an article (you could use Alexa.com as a starting point).

    The number mean their page rank. Some sites Google picks up, and they are good for link building. And every once in a while someone else runs your article.
