      I've been using white-hat article marketing to post original content about my niche to credible article directories (yes, I realize many of them were recently devalued).

      My question is: Is it a good or bad idea to have future articles link to older articles, as a way to increase the chances of having the older articles indexed, or increasing the amount of link juice they pass to my site (since they point to my site)?

      I get 2 links per article and was thinking of using 1 to point to a prior (related) article, and the other to point to my site.

        make sense. this way those past articles gets promoted as well.

        links to your main site that have their own backlinks are better than links that have no backlinks 🙂

            Anything that is human reviewed, has editorial standards, and enforces longer word length. The opposite, which would be sites that accept anything, including posts that are less than 300 words, would not be good.

            In the 'good' camp I would include

            www.ezinearticles.com

            www.buzzle.com (600 word min)

            www.selfgrowth.com (500 word min)

            would be interested in hearing from others on which ones they use that are human-edited or otherwise have more strict than post-anything-you-want submission guidelines.

              I have heard that a low PR page on a high PR site will gain PR quicly when linked to, and since only the first link is going to point to your site and you have 2 links to play with, why not.
