Great Article - Where do i publish it

[copywritingbuzz]

I have just completed a great article (relating to advertising). I have a predicament, where do I post it? Do I contact  sites related to the industry with high pr's and authority, to see if they want to feature the article? This will provide great anchor text links from the high pr site in question. Or do i submit to article directories? Or do i simply place the article on my site, and get people to link to it?

I need help!!!!

Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm a newbie (I'm sure you can tell)

We have been submitting our articles to "Ezine.com" and it seems to working quite well. Another site we are just beginning to use is PRWEB.com. You have to pay, but your articles are submitted to hundreds of news sites with the potential to be picked up by them (especially if it is in fact a high quality article).

Don't put it in article directories.

If you feel that you'd be able to build enough buzz around the article and gain links from having it on your site then do that. If it's a really, really, really AWESOME, once in a career type of article then definitely put it on your site.

If it's good and you want to build relationships within your industry specifically with the webmaster of another site then publish on that 3rd party.

Hope that helps.

If you have a "message to get out" then give that article to everybody everywhere.

If you hope that the article will attract traffic, likes, tweets, etc for your site then publish it on your site and on your site only.

Don't give your best content to anybody or they will get your traffic, likes, tweets, etc.  Plus they will compete against you for your own keywords.  And, that will give you duplicate content.

The only exception to the above is if you can place the article on a site where it will be seen by many many many more people than will see it on your own site.

I agree with EGOL's advice.

Another thing to consider is, do you interact with other influencers in your niche? If you post a good piece on content on your site, are there influential people in mind who might reasonably tweet it and help you attract additional shares and links? If not, perhaps you should share the article on a more popular site and use it to start building some relationships which will result in future links coming your way. Start building a relationship with everyone who comments on your post or tweets the link.

Ouch.  All the thumbs down aren't really necessary.  Margaret is just sharing what seems to be working for her.  If it works for your niche, then go for it.
