smart computer use?

Ok, so I’ve recently started submitting some articles to articles directories. The main article directories that I have focused on to this point have been GoArticles.com and EzineArticles.com.

I think between those two I have picked the most spammy and one of the least spammy directories, so it’s been interesting to see the differences.

GoArticles.com results

So far I have seen my first article submitted to GoArticles.com picked up by a few blog sites that look like they get their entire content base from GoArticles.com. Interesting. I am hoping that after a while that I can start to get some articles out on some better, more established web sites. But, I suppose I’ll have to go straight to the source (as in submitting directly to targeted web sites) to get that to happen. Who knows though, it’s only been a couple days.

The ease of getting articles live on GoArticles.com is just too appealing, no matter how cheesy and spammy that site might seem.

EzineArticles.com results

At first I had to sit and wait for a few days to see any activity on my EzineArticles.com article submissions. The first article that started to get through their editorial review actually got rejected. The reason was because I was using too high density of a target keyword. I can see their point, but honestly it was very hard to rewrite that article using that particular keyword less, just because of the nature of the article content. Once I had edited the article down to use the keyword less (I thought it was harder to understand after the editing) I re-submitted the article and now it appears that it might get approved.

That was interesting.

Also, my other 3 articles appear to now be passing through the editorial process as well, so I hope to have my first 4 articles on EzineArticles.com shortly.

Fun stuff.

Time to start writing some more articles.
