Directory of article directories – a comprehensive list of places to submit your article!

Arcana Web is one of the only places that keeps an updated list of valuable article directories and hubs where you can submit your articles.

I have played around with the idea of having my own list here at FTR, but Arcana spends a lot of time keeping up with pagerank and traffic and making sure links are live all the time.

I just couldn’t do a better job or bring anything new to the project, so I link to Arcana when people ask me where the best database of article directories is located.

You’ll notice there aren’t THAT many. You may have seen lists of hundreds of places to submit your article.

Well, that’s because Arcana only includes the ones that MATTER. Article directories with good traffic and search engine rankings are all you should focus on because that is still a huge job making sure your articles are on those sites.

Catnews.org self posting article directory – All subjects welcome

I am in need of quality articles to fill my directory. I will personally read and approve each article submitted within 24 hours after you submit it.

My site is crawled daily by Yahoo, Google, and other top search engines
Your article will be indexed into the search engines fast – I create a new site-map every night.

CatNews.org is an ongoing learning experience for me. I started the main section two years ago as a class project. The site has grown to over 1100 articles about cats and kittens and has become one of the webs premier feline resource sites.

No Google Ads

Notice I have no Google ads on my site. Right now my goal is to offer an ad free site that stresses link exchanging. If you post an Article please consider posting a link to CatNews.org on your site. I am trying to increases my PR with the search engines and am looking For Authors that will give me a back link to their site. I don’t require a back link for you to post on my site, but it would help me reach my goal of 1 million back links within the next three years.
Thanks for visiting my site

Mickey Jul 29 at 7:30 am: Thanks for this list.
Just what I was looking for!

If you wish, you can add my article directory to your list as well.
Omega Aug 7 at 1:24 am: that’s really interesting to find that many of them from the 80 html friendly sites received penalty by google since added! even some pr dropped to 0.

Is that resulting from too many articles duplication? you know, many guys write just one articles, then submit to many more directories, any idea to this?

schumi.

Thanks.

Many thanks.

Dan Blackburn Nov 29 at 2:25 pm: Please add http://www.article-content-king.com to the list. PR4 Alexa 20,000
Ted Sisul Dec 8 at 6:50 pm: There are a ton of article directory sites out there, but few seem to be built on WordPress like ADOWP.com, which offers some appealing benefits:

1. Posts are indexed within 60 minutes or less (once approved)
2. You have full control over your article’s Title Tag, META Description Tag and META Keywords Tag
3. Google loves blogs, so articles tend to rank higher in search results, even with low PR
4. You can submit images and video along with your article
5. Submitting articles at ADOWP.com takes 50% less time than at most directories (includign Ezine Articles)
6. Our article directory is DoFollow, so you get credit for your links (though please limits links to 2 per post)

We would greatly appreciate an addition of http://www.adowp.com/ to your list. Thank you for providing the opportunity!

Sincerely,

-Ted
Chris Burrows Dec 17 at 8:54 pm: Please add http://www.findgoodarticles.info to the list. Thank you and Happy holidays!

Mike from cheap hotels inn Jan 28 at 10:58 am: Thanks this is a great list. I love your authority black book too by the way. How much time do you spend on article directories vs social media traffic?
Mike @ cheap hotels inn´s last blog ..Tenerife Island Cheap Hotels
Jack Humphrey Jan 29 at 10:51 am: Mike – I haven’t been syndicating articles much in the last year. Mostly on social media now, and of those, mostly facebook and twitter. Also syndicating videos more lately. Newer site owners should do everything they can though, until their sites can stand on their own in the engines and repeat traffic.
