Submit Articles To Social Networks?

Hi. I have serached the Forum and don't see this discussed so hopefully someone can help. I'm sure it's easy to answer.

When I write an article for my website, I do not submit to EZine, GoArticles etc... But I do submit to Social Networks like Digg etc... And it works well.

However, when I write articles for article directories (Ezine aetc...) Is it OK to submit these to Social Bookmarking Sites? I thought I heard you can not do that.

Thanks for your help.

Kansas will win it all!

 

I have never heard something like that before!!!
Anything that exists on a website and that a social bookmarking site accepts, can be submitted to it.

 

Ok. But I meant an article that was submitted to EZine for example. Not something I published on my website.

Thanks

 

I see no problem with it. I think this is done pretty often actually. You could even bookmark the article that is published on other sites for further assistance with your article promotion.

Oh and your prob right about Kansas, but crazier things have happened

 

OK. Thanks. And yea...crazy things are happening...like Ohio University beating Georgetown right now!

 

I didn't see anything wrong in submitting it to social networking site, if the duplicate would be the issue I think it won't get duplicate because you are the original owner of the article.

 

OK. I thought maybe EZine or one of the article directories might have a rule against it.


Way to go OU!

 

Yeah it's okay to submit your articles to social bookmarking website because these websites are also known as content sharing websites.

 

Yup i am doing that but confused about the social networking site and article submission sites. Is there any difference between these terms.

 

I think Ezine Articles wants to have unique content, but if you submit to them first and get approved then you can submit it elsewhere.

 

This is actually a commonly debated subject. Many articles are released by the associated press and published on many different websites. To my knowledge, Google indexes them all. So if you have articles, publish them on your own websites or blogs first, then submit them to article directories and such. What is the worst that could happen? They might get rejected. Oh well, there are plenty of places to submit. Just because an article directory or similar site has a high page rank for its home page doesn't mean that your article will have high PR. A quality article will develop inbound links and develop it's own PR, but you may have to market it some first using traditional means. By the way, you are welcome to submit to this article directory.

 

I submit them. It helps with getting them indexed faster I have found.

 

Some social bookmarking sites accepts articles that were published in ezine and other article directories, so I think there's no problem with it.

 

@rkuramoto No its not like that, even if you have submitted the article before elsewhere you can submit it to ezine later..but the author should be same, else it will be taken as duplicate content. I post the articles 1st on the website then after 1 week on ezine..and have a premium account never faced any problem. But remember the authors should be same.

 

See no problem in your doing that, unless, it is an artilce you have sold to someone & have no rights over it any more.

 

You shouldn't do this alot because you won't really build readers - best promote your site and have it submitted by others. Of course, there is no real penalty for submitting your own articles unless you do it on StumbleUpon.

 

I think the issue is duplicate content, many seo people suggest that you do not submit the same article to more than one place. However as long as the content is yours, you should feel free to submit it as many places as you like. As mentioned in an earlier post just be sure to submit to Ezine first

 

This is not an issue you can post your article on any social networking site without an condition

 

No problems at all in posting your own articles to any social networking site.

 

Yes, it IS possible and actually, it SHOULD be done. Try to get AS MANY eyeballs as you can.

Bookmark your articles, link back to them, etc. Get all the traffic you can from as many places.
