Article Marketing Tips: Should You Refrain From Submitting Too Many Articles?

When you want to promote a new web page with article marketing, you will write and submit a number of articles to build links to this web page. But how many articles should you submit? How many links should you be building? And should you be concerned about getting links too fast?

First, it is important to understand that building links fast is not necessarily unnatural. If your website is new, it will not get a lot of links naturally, because well, it is new and doesn't get much traffic. This is especially true if your website targets a niche with some competition. Sending 100 links the first week, 200 links the second week, 500 the third week can seem perfectly natural. Sending 1000 links the first week can seem unnatural, but some people have done it many times and have not had any issues. These numbers are just for the purpose of the example, and it will really depend on the website and the niche. If you pay attention to build links gradually, building links fast is not necessarily a concern.

Building links fast is perfectly ok if you diversify your link sources. Getting links naturally means getting links from a wide variety of sources. Let's take an example. If there is an interesting page on the web, people will naturally link to it from their own personal blogs, from a business blog, from a niche related website, from a niche related forum, from Twitter, from Facebook, from their Hubpages hub, from their Squidoo lens, they will Digg the page, and they will bookmark it on different accounts and different social bookmarking sites.

If you submit 50 articles promoting one page to article directories only, and you do nothing else, this is not natural and you will not have great results with this strategy. If you submit your articles on different sites, on directories but also blog networks, bookmarking sites, social networking sites, web 2.0 properties, this will be much more natural and then building links fast is not an issue.

Building links fast is ok if you remain consistent over time. The biggest problem when we are building links are the resources we can dedicate to this, both in terms of time and money. The temptation is high to just run a campaign and then stop. But this is highly unnatural, especially if you have been building links fast. If a page receives 500 links within a week, and the website is new, and then 50 links the following week, and then 0 the third week, it is not natural at all and it will probably raise a red flag. Now if you build 500 links each and every week consistently, you are showing search engines that your site, despite being new, is popular, and in this case you should not have any issue for building links too fast.

When you submit articles, make sure you use enough different websites, make sure your articles are published on directories but also on blogs, web 2.0 sites, social networking sites, and so on. You can use article submission software or a good article submission service to achieve this diversity of link sources. And as far as you are consistent in your link building efforts, you will see that building links too fast is really not an issue.
