What article directories should you submit your articles to?

What are the major article directories you should manually publish articles to?
I get this question a lot of times so I figured I’d address this via a blog post…
There are 3-4 major article directories that are worth the manual effort to submit articles to…
- EzineArticles.com
- FindArticles.com
- Articlesbase.com
- Goarticles.com
Generally speaking EzineArticles, A.K.A. EZA is still the king when it comes to article directories whose published articles get the best rankings.
But you don’t need me to do that for you…
Prove it to yourself by typing in your niche keyword-based search queries and see which article directories show up before the others on a consistent basis.
In most cases EZA will be the first article directory to appear, but there are some article directories that do better than others for certain niches.
But why would anyone waste their time with manual article submissions when Unique Article Wizard sends unique versions of your articles to thousands of directories and websites?
#1- Because directories like EZA have strict quality control, only accept unique content, and your published articles will rank well if you do things correctly.
#2 – Because Unique Article Wizard doesn’t submit your articles to all 3-4 of these major article directories
Therefore there is still value to doing manual article marketing submissions if you don’t put a lot of value in your time and effort…
The fact remains that getting backlinks from these article dirrctories decreases in effectiveness with each new backlink you get from them.
The FACT is, some of the 3-4 directories will require that your articles be unique content which means you have to write yet another article plus go through another manual submission process.
On the other hand, with Unique Article Wizard, you write ONE article and the you’re done, ONE-and-DONE-done…
ONE “UAW” article submission = hundreds OR even thousands of backlinks and extremely deep and wide article syndication
My recommendation has always been to:
- go with the “hot hand” and manually submit an article to EZA only (forget using the other major directories)
- then use your EZA article as the basis for your article submission via Unique Article Wizard.
- You can even link to your EZA articles from your UAW articles, in case you find yourself competing with other EZA articles for top SERPs.

Unique Article Wizard article writing tips
Filed under: Article Writing Tips
As I mentioned in a previous post, I tested out Unique Article Wizard for 5 months for free by using the WordPress plugin to receive free articles.
After using receiving free articles for close to 8 months now, at the time of this writing, I noticed that some UAW users are making some mistakes.
I want to share this information with to better improve your results with using Unique Article Wizard now, and/or to better prepare you for when you do “take the plunge” and start rockin’ and rollin’ with UAW…
Here’s a mistake that some Unique Article Wizard users are doing…
They’re writing these 2-part articles (part 1, part 2) and submitting them for syndication…
This will have 2 drawbacks for you if you start submitting articles using a “pillar articles series” method of writing Part 1, then Part 2 article series.
You see, sometimes site owners like me didn’t see or approve the Part ONE article, so when we see in the title of the article some thing like;
“The XL40-1200 series widget review – Part 2″
it just doesn’t make sense for site owners to publish this second article, no matter how good it is because we haven’t seen nor published the part ONE article yet.
You might have great content in the Part TWO article but that doesn’t matter to me, as a free article receiver because in order for me to publish this Part TWO article, I’d have to spend time rewording the title.
If you publish Part TWO without posting part ONE, your site visitors will want to see Parts ONE and TWO and when they don’t see both they’re disappointed and left unsatisfied.
The Second reason you don’t want to write articles this way is a time issue…
Even if you submit your multi-part article series all at once, site owners receiving these free articles may not publish them in the order they were received.
You see, I know the pace at which new sites should publish new content and the pace at which older sites should publish new content…
New sites should publish new content at a much slower pace than older, aged sites should.
Therefore, for my new sites, I’m not going to post every day, or even every week…
Therefore some of my sites have a bit of a time gap between posting dates.
Therefore, when I am ready to publish a new “UAW” article, your Part 2 article might be lost amongst the other articles in my admin panel queue… so when I go to approve/publish a new article, I may not see your queued
Part TWO article right away, and will probably just publish the next good article I see in the queue.
So even if I did publish both of the articles in the 2-part series, my site visitors will see the Part 2 article on the front page and wonder where part 2 is…
And I could help them out by linking to the Part ONE article previously published but that’s more work for me.
Using Unique Article Wizard for receiving free content is supposed to make life easier for you, not make more work for you..
So avoid these 2-part article series when submitting articles via UAW…
SAVE these multi-part article series for your own content sites and link them together and post them in order…
IF you insist on submitting multi-part article series via Unique Article Wizard, you should link to your sites where the whole article series is there and in order.
If I saw a free article that read “Blah-blah-blah , Part ONE” in the title but your article linked to part TWO (like on your own site, see above sentence), then that will have the added benefit of increasing your click through rates and will definitely increase the percentage of submissions that actually get approved and published…

UAW Plugins for Various Article Directories
However, there are some tips for using these plugins that you should be aware of…
1- You will receive articles based on the categories you’ve created on your site
2- The articles you receive will be based on the name of your categories, not the keywords or slugs behind the categories, so if you have a category called REVIEWS, you’;re going to get a lot of generic articles not relevant to your sites’ topics and theme because REVIEWS is a pretty general term.
You should make your categories as specific as possible by naming them something like, “Health Product Reviews”…
3- When you set up the Unique Article Wizard Plugin, make sure you set it to NOT auto-approve and publish articles sent to you because you really should be vigilant about what kind of content is being published on your site.
4- If you’re not getting a lot of articles sent to you,
- expand the number of categories that you have on your site,
- or rename your categories to more general, but niche-specific terms so you get more relevant articles.
5- If you’re not happy with the quality of articles you’re receiving, increase the number of daily articles sent to you to a higher number, like 3 or 4, so you have a bigger pool of articles to draw from.
6- Improve the articles you’re being sent
- by changing the headlines to put the keywords you’re targeting in the front of the article titles. This is good for SEO since the closer your keywords are to the beginning of the article title, the easier it will be for that post to rank well for those terms/keywords..
- by fixing the typos that some of these article will eventually have. If you have to fix any of the free articles you’ve been sent, feel free to remove one of the backlinks in these articles for your troubles. If you are linking to someone by publishing their articles, and you’re also spending time fixing their articles, there’s nothing wrong with removing one of the backlinks in my opinion.
- If the articles you’re accepting and publishing are linking to the same site url more than once, remove one of those duplicate links since there’s no harm done by doing this, and it makes your site seem less spammy…
Remember, you’re getting free articles and free site content here so these authors are doing you a favor by providing relevant site content for you, so make sure you leave the links in their articles intact (except in the scenarios outlined above)
Also remember that you’re doing these authors a favor by publishing their articles, providing them free backlinks, and fixing their articles as needed…

Unique Article Wizard Review
If you were searching for a review on Unique Article Wizard and you came across this site, then you probably already know what Unique Article Wizard is.
If this is the first time you’ve heard of Unique Article Wizard, let me give you some background information on it quickly.
It involves article marketing, ie, the marketing of your articles for backlinks generation which results in higher rankings. It’s another one of those blog networks that gets backlinks to your site from articles you submit for PUBlication, and more importantly, SYNDication.
The power of article marketing is in syndication of your articles for publication on relevant sites, and even if they’re not posted on relevant sites, you’re still going to get backlinks when posted on “other” sites.
How Unique Article Wizard works…
You write an article, and in that article, you leave links in the “footer” or signature of the articles that point back to your site. Obviously, you’d be using anchor text here to increase your posts and pages’ rankings in the search engines.
Article marketing SYNDICATION works really well for increased rankings for your sites, but it works even better when related sites are hosting-and-posting your articles.
When a site in your niche hosts your article, it’s obviously a site that gets the same kind of traffic you’d hope to be getting, too. In other words, they’re your niche competition, but they’re competition sending you links and traffic form your articles.
The beauty of having related sites linking to you and posting to you is that it takes the vagaries of search engine optimization out of the mix, because you’re getting traffic from other sites, not just search traffic.
Using Unique Article Wizard….
You write an article, then use their “top-secret” article spinner to create a human readable article that gets submitted to a LOT of sites, plus there’s the very real potential of your articles getting syndicated even more once they “go live”, because there’s some viral article marketing aspects built into the Unique Article Wizard system.
Once you write an article, it spreads through the network of sites, gets published, links get accrued at a nice clip, and your higher ranking will ensue shortly thereafter.
This linking method has NEVER failed because it’s exactly what you’d hope for in a traffic generation system (links from high-quality, relevant sites getting spidered frequently).
However….
They say Unique Article Wizard’s top-secret spinner does an amazing job of making human readable articles, but from what I’ve seen as a site owner hosting their articles for free content for my sites… I would have to disagree on that one…
You see, Unique Article Wizard has a plugin for WordPress that allows you to accept articles into your WordPress Dashboard, automatically, or for pending review, and I’ve been accepting articles for about 6 months now using their free plugin.
From what I’ve seen from the articles submitted to my sites and published, the articles being sent out for syndication are not that great, and not that different.
I’ve been holding off on joining Unique Article Wizard for this very reason (article spinner doesn’t seem to be producing top-quality articles) but many other people I know use it and swear by it (and every other link building service they’re using too 
)
Here are three Unique Article Wizard Reviews I’d like you to take a look at since they have results to show from actually using it.
Courntey Tuttle’s Unique Article Wizard review
Groundswel Publishing’s Comprehensive Unique Article Wizard Review
Mike Spencer’s Unique Article Wizard Results and Review.
Negative Review from SEOTIMES, pretty old post though, and nay-saying on something they/he/she didn’t use or test…
This blog post you’re reading now is actually a precursor for when I make my foray into using Unique Article Wizard, and I wrote this as an informative piece which links to 3 other sites so you can get a more detailed report on how “great” this service works.
Should you join Unique Article Wizard?
As you may have read elsewhere on this blog, I won’t be recommending any link building services until I’ve used them for at least 3 months (because I had to retract my 1waylinks review).
You can go on ahead and join Unique Article Wizard after reading those 2 reviews at those 2 links I mentioned above…
OR…
you can wait 4 months before I recommend. do not recommend using Unique Article Wizard,
OR…
you can check out my review of the Backlink Solutions service, with which I am seeing amazing results anyhow.
