Article marketing success is not recursive blasting to generate links to your website, that ship has sailed.

Articles that are published once and then promoted properly from there get far more search engine and social media traffic then published on many websites.

Article marketing success from directories is now a serious concern since search engines will penalize not only the site publishing but also the site linked from the article. So we both win or both lose.

Only paid to promote directories fill all the required below.

Look for directories that do the following will ensure your article marketing success.
1. Individual url submissions to search engines.
2. Hard wired no redirect short urls for social media.
3. Full text RSS feeds for each article with both long and short urls.
4. Generate, host and promote an image version of each article.
5. Promote each article across all the social media venues.
6. Generate massive site maps that find your articles by category, keywords, author name and title.

One directory that has converted to paid to promote only.

In conclusion and never the end.

Paid to promote directories will result in a far higher success in article marketing.
