Search Engines, especially Google, prefer to see back links built by sites and blogs gradually. A sudden upsurge in links might induce them to disregard these links, and in a worst-case scenario, your site could end up getting sandboxed.

Hence, if every directory approves your articles - which is likely if you write quality articles - Google and other Search Engines may refuse to acknowledge the back links to your site. Also, if the same content is submitted to the various directories , that could be another reason why SEs would ignore your articles. The solitary solution is to submit unique versions of the article, with each directory given unique content, insuring to alter the titles and anchor texts.

However, you may find it virtually impossible submitting articles one at a time to the large number of directories on the web, while recording submission details, according to version, date of submission and directory.

The solution lies in software-enabled drip-submission of articles, to a few directories, daily. You need software that meticulously tracks submissions, according to version, date of submission and directory. That way, you adhere to search engine rules, and will not be penalized by them.

Additionally, employ scheduling software to schedule different variations of essays submitted on specific dates to the selected directories . Assuming that you're unable to submit some articles for whatever reason the software should be configured so as to submit them again, later, even as it keeps track of submissions, in order to desist from posting of identical content to two or more directories.

What number of articles can we recommend to be disseminated via directories by software enabled scheduling of submissions? It is hard to say, precisely, but twenty to twenty-five sounds reasonable. That implies that the process of submitting to 500, or so, directories should take a little less than a month.

With 500 submissions scheduled over 30 days, the back links effected in a slow and steady process, how Google and other major search engines would like it. And once the search engines are appeased, there's no reason why you shouldn't be, too!
