How the hell you have 800 article directories that actually works. Here is what i think.
- You use wordpress article directories
- article dashboard
- article beach
- article ms
- maybe couple decent ones.
Problem with all these article directories is that they are getting 100's of new articles every day and they usually do not have much staff approving all these articles. Since most articles are submitted ihn a automated way (and probably not spinned) this is reason why all these articles.
I had experience with jetsubmitter - 800+ article directories spinned article and i got just 10 links after 3 months.
Also i have had my own article directory and after adding my site to top list i started to get 100+ article submission a day. In just like 10 days since i have started the site. Most of articles were junk and highly duplicate. So i give up.
Experience from other peoples is - all types of article directories i have listed above sucks. They won't approve your article in more that 1% cases.
From all above the conclusion would be that it is the best to submit to best article directories - such as ezine, go, hellium .. and so on but they must have high alexa ranking otherwise they probably won't approve any of your articles.
Just top 20-30 article directories are worth submitting to.
