Review Article Submission

[tomsk]

I am aware that Google panda updates etc have greatly effected the whole article submission arena, and I am a little rusty on my the seo side of things.

What would be the best way to have reviews that have been done on my site picked up by Google news etc, articles content is unique but I would like to get the reviews to a wider audience.

Just checked out PR web and they want $99 an article!

Do you mean someone has written in depth reviews about your products and you have posted them on your site?

OR

You have written some press releases about your products and put them on your site?

It depends on the market where you want them to go?

There's a couple of good wires in the UK but the info usually has to be topical / research based stuff rather than Company XYZ launches ABC to revolutionise DEF.

If you have niche products then you'd probably be better off reaching out to relevant websites rather than trying to syndicate press releases or articles.

 

[tomsk]

Do you mean someone has written in depth reviews about your products and you have posted them on your site?

No not a product, a review on a TV program.

So for example there may be a review on this coming Saturdays BBC1 The Voice, I would like to get it published for others to view with a link back to the review article on the website.

Oh I see. Well if you have a high quality multi author site that's not posting commercial content then you could apply for Google news inclusion.

And in terms of getting links then PR web etc wont work for you.

You need to write good content and get people sharing it. It should pick up links naturally then. Most of the TV review sites or bloggers I've ever stumbled upon cross reference each other all the time in their posts. There must be hundreds of people's reviewing the The Voice week in week out not to mention thousands of tweets about it. Get involved with them.

 

[tomsk]

Thanks for your comments, so there is no more direct way to publish the reviews so that blogs can pick them up.

Currently working on twitter etc, but in the past used article release to gain natural links.

 

[Suzuki]

You've got an extra slash on the link in your signature - its preventing it from working.

There is no real direct way to publish reviews... you will need to get out and build relationships with blogs. Offer to write a weekly review of xyz show in return for a back link.

Thanks for the heads up on the link.

Not exactly sure what you are asking.

If you want other blogs to link to your reviews then you need to offer something useful. At the moment all you seem to have is personal opinions, plagrised articles and few snippets on news type things. There is is no value added.

 

[tomsk]

Asking if there is a service to have articles published in a similar way to a press release is done, in the hope that TV related blogs then pick up the article.

 

[fisicx]

You missed the point of my post. If you want your site to get any traction you need to publish original material. If its orignal and interesting then you can feed your reviews to other review sites.

No I had not missed your point, I have and had original articles written for the site, it's the feeding them to the review sites that I am asking for guidance on.

 

[fisicx]

I still can't see what you are hoping to acheive?

Why would another review site want to link to your site or why would they want to publish your review?

If you can explain your value proposition then maybe we can offer a suggestion as to the best provider.

I am assuming you already use an RSS feed...

 

[tomsk]

I still can't see what you are hoping to acheive?

It's not important to me that see what I am hoping to achieve.

The question is really quite simple I have article written for me, is there a service that allows those articles to be released similar to the way a press release is submit for release, in the hope that bloggers might think oh that's a good article I will stick it on my blog?

 

[fisicx]

Simple answer: no.

All you can do is offer is guest authoring on blogs. Blogging is not like news feeds. Bloggers read interesting stuff and may link to it and comment on it but they don't normally replicated previously published articles unless there is benefit to their readers.

The simple answer might be "no".... but its also the wrong answer.

You could for example write the articles and post them on myblogguest.com... if other bloggers thought they were worth publishing then they could do so from there.

Thanks I take a look at that.

You could. But so is everybody else looking for a quick SEO fix.

Posting on these sites is a waste of time. You are far better off posting stunning articles on noyur own site - they do get picked up by Google which means you get the ranking and you get the visitors.

 

[Suzuki]

Thats a sweeping (and completely wrong) statement to say posting on those sites is a waste of time.

You need backlinks to your own site before things will start to rank. You could post the best review online on your blog but its a waste of time if nobody sees it. This situation is made worse if he's writing tv reviews - if he writes a post about best ways to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse then it might not rank right now, but when it does in 6 months it will generate traffic.

If he writes a review of Spartacus War of the Damned Episode 10 that showed last friday night... who's going to be searching for that at Christmas when he finally ranks?

 

[fisicx]

You need backlinks to your own site before things will start to rank.

NO. YOU. DON'T

A good article on a well built site can easily rank without any inbounds.

A review of a TV program can rank on it's own merits if it is well written and has (wait for it) the right keywords in the right places.

If you look at the results for reviews of the show you mentioned there are all sorts of sites ranking well for a whole range of keywords.

 

[Suzuki]

Its obvious you have no idea what you're talking about as far as ranking sites go.

Yes you can rank for a completely random, never seen before 10 word phrase without any incoming links. Lets see you rank for something anyone is actually searching for.... you can't do it.

 

[fisicx]

Yup, I obviously know nothing.

All those money making pages that rank well must have just got there by magic.

 

[Suzuki]

So why don't you show us all one of these pages ranking for a phrase that makes money, with no backlinks at all making it rank.

You're not going to outrank tv.com or IMDB without a strong link profile.

 

[fisicx]

Of course not, but adding articles to a few guest blog sites isn't going to help either (which is what Suzuki suggested).

The OP wants to submit articles so that other blogs will repost and link back to his site. There is no simple and easy way to do this. Those who do so aren't going to be those whose links will have any appreciable value.

Suzuki, do you really think I'm going to post details on my lucrative pages here?

 

[tomsk]

Suzuki thanks again going to have a look at the site you mentioned this afternoon.

fisicx you know sometimes just a quick, yes, no or take a look at this site is sufficient.

I have not asked for seo advice, link building advice, and certainly did not ask for a critic on my website all of which you have given.

I just needed info like Suzuki has given for me to make my own judgment on.

 

[fisicx]

Fair enough. I was just trying to point out that there are other solutions that may have a better ROI

 

[Suzuki]

Of course not, but adding articles to a few guest blog sites isn't going to help either (which is what Suzuki suggested).

Of course it will help - it'll be unique linking domains pointing back to his website. The fact you can't grasp this very simple concept, is making it pretty clear that any advise you come up with here should be ignored really.

The OP wants to submit articles so that other blogs will repost and link back to his site. There is no simple and easy way to do this. Those who do so aren't going to be those whose links will have any appreciable value.

Again, there is - I already posted a simple and easy way to do it. Do it in bulk and you'll see noticeable benefits.

Suzuki, do you really think I'm going to post details on my lucrative pages here?

No I don't, as you're talking nonsense and pages ranking for legitimate commercial phrases without the support of backlinks, don't exist.
