The Best Websites to Publish Your Articles

Zeke-

Thank you. You answered some questions I have had on my to do list of a while; which was research these various social websites.

Do you have a rule of thumb about how often we should post to maximize our searches? I post to my own blog a few times a week and then of course, Biznik. Thanks for doing the leg work on this.

Hi Zeke,

I am on a read everything Zeke published mission today and it is all good. No, I should say great. You should be doing videos or teleseminars!

Every article is clear and concise.

Thanks again,

Terra

Dear Zeke:

Thanks for the information I've taken a note and shared with a collegue in my office. We just got back from RE Bar Camp Seattle 2009 at the Zillow headquarters and heard a lot about these items, but not all of them.

Do you have any experience with Blog Talk Radio Show?

Cheers!

Helen

I certainly plan to make use of it. Thanks Zeke.

One of my clients, SubmitYourArticle.com, is a service I use myself. For a small monthly fee (around $40), you upload your article one time and they distribute it to many of the sites mentioned above for you. It's a time saver and this service, unlike some others, screens the material first to make sure it is of sufficient quality and is appropriate for a business or family-friendly audience. The time savings is worth it to me.

Wonderful information. You saved me a lot of time. Veronica

This is some great information shared by all. I believe this is what Biznik is all about, sharing of ideas and assistance for all small businesses. Great job all!!

Great stuff Zeke, thanks for sharing. Maybe you can offer a suggestion... all of this sounds great but it is very overwhelming. Where to start?

What are your recommendations for accomplishing an effective and thorough use of some/all of these social marketing platforms without spending 5 hours a day on it?

Also, I've heard that search engines may punish you for publishing duplicate content on multiple sites. I can't imagine writing a different version of each article. What do you think?

Thanks for that last little tip Zeke, I wondered how strict that rule was.

Fantastic tips Zeke -- so many ways for me to focus AND save time. Thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to share the information.... it is very helpful and appreciated!

Zeke - assuming you were forced to chose, which of these would be your top three?

Anyone know if Peoplepond should be on that list or know anything about it?

That was a great list, but who has time to be on so many sites and do our real work?

Same thing as all of the social media sites, I am on many, but spend most of my time focused on 3, LinkedIn, ecademy and Facebook. Another one I use is Ning since several groups I had belonged to have migrated to Ning.

Dan, that's precisely why I asked my question.

I've filled out the forms on several of those sites, never to return again. Now that I know a little more about "keyword rich" writing, I could do a better job, but I'm still not going back to the vast majority of them.

Ditto with social networking sites. Most are junk when it comes to functionality - and many, like Facebook, just tries to move you around their site. I wouldn't waste my time there even if I had the time.

I agree with the above two comments. The other question I'd have is how much business these sites actually generate? It's great to be visible, but if it doesn't generate business, then it just ends up being a time consuming hobby. I'm on a few of these sites, giving them a try for now, but fitting in time to be on them and be active on them is challenging enough.
