Now that we have lifted the submission restrictions for approved authors, you may be wondering if it is better to submit all your articles at once, or to submit them consistently over time. This is a good topic for the next Article Marketing Tip… it’s a good one. Click here for article marketing tips #1 & #2 and subscribe to the article marketing tips feed.

The answer to the questions of whether it is better to submit all your articles at once or over time  is without a doubt, it is better to submit them over time. The reason why it is better to submit your articles over time rather than all at once is down to the “recently published” article feeds.

Lets imagine you have 50 articles about article marketing. If you submit all these articles together, then they will likely be published all together. i.e. all on the same day. This may result in a huge influx of traffic from the article directory as your articles dominate the recently approved pages, but the next day all the traffic is gone. Your articles have slipped down the queue in one big block and are now harder for the visitors to find. (Unless they made it into the popular articles list, which is doubtful, not in a day.

So when you submit all your articles together, you really only leverage traffic from the article directory on the day that your articles are approved. You’re really taking your chances of that being a good day to have your articles published.

Publishers look at the recently approved articles first, because they are looking for fresh content to publish. They also notice people who submit articles consistently because this is  the mark of an expert.

What is flooding the feed with all your articles the mark of? You pop up, they have never seen you before, then you disappear. What do they think of you? Good things or bad things?

The more times your name is seen in the recently approved feed the more likely it is for a publisher to pick up your articles. Professional publishers are looking for authors that they can trust, not necessarily an article on a particular topic. Consistency brings trust. Trust brings sales.

That is what you are really looking for when you submit your articles. Not the link and traffic from the article directory, but to leverage traffic from trusted publishers to endorse your product and your name.
