Home > SEO: Article Directories Dead?
I would have liked to submitted my article to directories that relate to real estate. I first checked google for directories called 1. real estate articles and 2. real estate article directory. Most of the these article directories are terrible. So I them tried search for article directory or article directories. I submitted to the first 50 article directories listed with Google. Only 6 of the 50 have approved of my article. The others have not and just seem dead. I noticed many of the article directories show in their footer the year 2005, 2006 or 2007.

My question is: are article directories dead? Is there really 500-1000 article directories out there that are worth submitting to? If yes, does anyone have an updated list? I’ve tried Google, digitalpoint and other resources.

Yes you are right.. Most of the directories are dead. It is because the article directories are based on the google adsense model. There is no point in submitting to the dead directories.
Here is a list of quality article directories which are very active and have a fast approval time. All the article directories are human approved and accept only quality articles. The article directory list is constantly up-dated and refined to ensure that we submit your articles to the best and popular article directory. Most of the directories distribute your article to industry specific websites and blogs in the form of feeds emails etc.
The list of directories
are free to submit
distribute content over web
provide quality back-links to your website.
are indexed by search engines.
are established and crawled by search engines regularly
Here is the list
The list is updated every month..
Article directories are far from being dead. They’re a good source of one way links back to your website.
You can get more details from this site:
Better post your article on blog with a link pointing to your site. Article directories now has less value.
“Article directories are far from being dead. They’re a good source of one way links back to your website.”
This statement is completely false. Article directories have recently ( 2007 ) seen loss of PageRank and individual categories within most article directories have been removed from the Google index. So, a one way link from a directory that is not even in the index is absolutely no good at all.
Blogs are the best way to get your article seen, read and indexed. I work with several websites that are syndicating content to bloggers with very good results.
Don’t waste your time with article directories.
I usually only submit to 3-6 best directories,such as EZ,the other article directories not worth to submit,don’t spend much time in submit,few best article directories is enough.Article marketing is I think still a good way to promote your site,mostly for your page rank.I also use an automatic create articles system( ) for bum marketing to create articles,it works very well.
Check the Directory of Article Directories indicated below as my ’source’…
Submit to any niche directories that have the same theme as the topic of your article because the search engines like inbound links to your own website, linked to in your article’s author’s resource box, from other website of the same genre.
Also submit to the miscellaneous, or multiple category article directory sites (in their most appropriate category for your article’s topic) that have a high Google PR indicated.
While not a fool proof indicator of its authority, Page Rank is a decent barometer for how often its spidered, at least by the Google bot, and a measure of how much human traffic it may get.
Hope that helps!
