Links In Blog Posts: 1 Paragraph VS. Full Article

[upick-162391]

Hey guys,

I've been using an article network to post unique articles (not spun). Been posting 1 paragraph articles with 1 text link.

Just wondering what the main difference would be if I were to post a full article with 2 or 3 text links vs 1 paragraph with 1 text link, besides the fact that you get more links and save more time writing only 1 paragraph.

Will the full article with 3 backlinks improve keyword ranks more or not by much?

Cheers!

Pages with only 1 paragraph of unique content probably won't be worth much to anyone: Google or users. So, in my opinion, the number of links in an article that short isn't worth bothering with.

Are you paying for these articles? If so, instead of paying for 5 short articles, pay for one longer article from a better writer, and distribute that as a guest post on a real blog, instead of submitting to an article site.

Thanks Kane, I will try that. Its just some times budget does not allow that much time to look for blogs with guest posts. But got the point cheers man!
