Article Directory Page Rank 7

[fenwaymedia]

Hi Guys,

Would I be correct in my assumption that if I submitted articles to this directory: www . thefreelibrary.com I would recieve a link back to my site of PR7. Could this be correct?

Any help with this and any information on Article Directories worth submitting in would be great.

Thank for looking,

Craig

Hi Craig

Simply put, yes you will get the "trust" signal by getting a link on that website.

However, because the page you create has very little authority, there is very little "link juice" that passes onto your website (The stronger the page, the more ranking power you receive)

Get the best of both.. Publish the article, and then build a few back links to your article. This will improve the article pages Authority (page rank) and will in tern filter it into your website..

Just make sure the article is not specifically about the products you sell or it may outrank your website when you promote the article

Yes but you would get a "no follow" link back to your site..

Hi Greg,

Thanks for that. Is there a way of telling, because I could not quite establish if the link was follow or nofollow and where and how would you recommend creating the back links to the article?

Thanks Again.

How can you tell?

If you are using chrome right click on the link and select inspect element.

If you install that toolbar, you can check to see if links are follow or no follow.

Social Media is correct. I never checked the site, but the links are marked as No-follow so it wont help with your rankings..

If you are wanting to publish an article, I would suggest rather asking a webmaster in your niche to publish it on there website in the form of a guest post.

Do some research here for info on guest posting. Once you have a good understanding, type this in Google for guest posting opportunities.

"Keyword"+“Guest bloggers wanted” OR “guest blogger wanted”

Craig,

It's also important to point out that the PR 7 is the page rank of the domain not an actual page.  Since your articles will probably be new pages, these pages will begin with a PR of 0 on a domain with a pr of 7.

Also remember that Google is counting less and less article sites, so you do take the chance of being hit by Google or having these links discontinued in the future.

Everyone is now doing article marketing (guest posting etc) so for sure at some point in the near future those type of links will be a no-no like forum signature that back in 2004-2005 were the hot subject of everyone in SEO - publicly that is - not as a dark tactique.

So if it's easy to post it there then go for it - but if this link will requaire a lot of "resources" then you should think about it.

More then that you won't get a PR 7 link there. You will get a PR 0 in the beginning. Your page could get some weight in time but for sure it won't get to PR 7.

Domain authority however matters so there is a plus there. You should however consider first the page that holds the link as far as power not the domain. (the domain as an additional factor but for sure not as a primary factor).

my 2c.
