BiggerPockets

Has anyone had success publishing articles on different article websites? Ezine has done well for me. I was wondering if anyone has had success using any others.

I write seasonal / topical articles throughout the year, and get decent traffic from them. I could see it being very beneficial if you could write consistently, but I get writers block pretty easily.

If you have your own site, be sure to save some of your best work for that to give people a reason to visit :)

It depends on why you publish those articles. If you are doing it for SEO then you want unique articles on relevant sites. You do not want to post the same article on more than one site. The search engines are getting smarter at spotting those with changes that are essentially the same.

I used to submit articles to various sites, but I don't do that any more. But, then I don't publish for SEO purposes.

Here's a note to all of you article authors . . . we've added a Free Real Estate Article Directory here at BiggerPockets, and I hope that you guys with quality work to share decide to share your articles.

Why would anyone write an article and surrender their ownership rights to post it on here?

By submitting any content to this site, it becomes property of the site and you give us your consent to reproduce such content in any way, publicly or privately, in any form of media, known or unknown, without any compensation to you.

Gary has a point, I am sorry but I dont understand,, I am quite confused.. any response would be highly appreciated.

Actually, Taz, it is almost 100% used for spam. We've now published close to 80 articles on the site and have had over 200 submissions.

Take a guess why we've rejected the rest . . .

You got it . . . SPAM! Why would someone need to cite their website when explaining what a short sale is?

If an author needs to cite a relevant source, we will allow it, but I've never seen someone do that. Our authors who have high-quality content have no issue with our article guidelines because they have no intention on abusing the system.

Dane -
What is there not to understand? If you submit an article to our article directory, we host the article, but have no ownership of said article. It is very cut and dry. As for any conflicts on the site, we altered the wording on the forum disclaimer to rectify that.

Oh, golly, I don't know. Maybe because they have an in depth page or pages that completely explain the process that exceeds your 1000 word limit?

However, thanks for the clarification.

I'm sorry I did not mean to imply in any way that was keeping me from posting articles here. I was making an observation and nothing more.

I write articles for one publisher only. My contract with them prohibits my submitting articles elsewhere.

I'm sure this is a great platform for authors and the page view counts are high. No doubt someone needing exposure can get it here.

Regarding the articles: here ae my results on the field

try to stay on the 400 to 700 words limit, some 300 usefull tips can do pretty well also

but usually 700 and more words and most people leav if the article is only full of fill up

also the headline of your article is really the most important piece, a killer eadline will make more people read your articles

which one of those article will you read
Headline1:"learn how to sell your home at higher price"

Headline1:"12 Killer tips your realtor don't want you to know to sell your home at higher price faster than..."

you get the idea

Best of luck,
Halille

Ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com have worked for me.

There is little point in blasting the same article to numerous article directories. Re-write if you want to submit to many article sites.

Also try guest blogging on sites with a real estate theme.
