Hello,
I have one question but can't think about the correct answer so I create this poll to get the answer.
If I have 10 new articles,
1. should I submit them to Ezine and other article directories (about 10) and get back links?
or
2. should I post them in my website blog and submit each new article page to social bookmarking sites (about 40)?
or
3. should I post 5 articles in my website blog and submit the other 5 articles to Ezine and other articles directories?
Which method is more effective in SEO and traffic?
Please vote on this poll.
Thanks.

Several replies offered different takes — and others favored a split approach, stressed content quality, mentioned reworking copies, and argued for owning your content. For long‑term SEO and traffic the most reliable principle is: treat your site as the canonical home for your best work, and syndicate or excerpt elsewhere only in controlled ways.

Practical, repeatable workflow:

  • Publish the full, original article on your blog first with a clear author byline, unique title/meta, sensible internal links and Schema markup.
  • Submit or update your XML sitemap and request indexing via Google Search Console so Google can find the canonical page quickly.
  • When you publish elsewhere, prefer platforms that support rel=canonical pointing back to your URL; if they do not, post only an excerpt (not the full text) with a prominent link to the original. This avoids duplicate‑content confusion described by search engines; see Google guidance on consolidating duplicates and Moz on duplicate content for background: Consolidate duplicate URLs and Moz — Duplicate Content.
  • Use social sharing/bookmarks to drive initial traffic and indexing, and tag outbound links with UTM parameters so you can measure referral performance in Analytics.

Cautions: do not mass‑spin or post verbatim copies across many low‑quality directories — that can dilute value and create indexing ambiguity. Treat article directories as potential referral sources, not your primary ranking strategy. Focus on useful, original content and clear attribution so search engines and users know where the authoritative version lives.

I would suggest you to go for the third option:post 5 articles in your website blog and submit the other 5 articles to Ezine and other articles directories?

I have to agree with option number 3 as well. However, I do recommend for your articles to all be original and have quality content. My clients always emphasize the importance of quality rich content that conveys and teaches the reader something. Do not just overload your articles with keywords, be conscientious and use them adequately in well structured sentences.

In my own experiences, submitting them all to ezine if they all have different contents and then do some spinning on them and putting them all on your websites. :)

Have a nice day,

Better you can post them in Ezine article. It is the most popular article directory which can provide you more traffic and exposure.

It is always better to hang on to your own stuff, in your case, stick your articles on your blog. Forget about your link obsessions. The articles will get around on their own should they be of any value whatsoever to the Internet. That's just the nature of important content.

submitting them to top 25 articles directories SERP will grow. also google it's allwasy in look for new and fresh content, so you can do 50-50% with the articles!
