10×10 Brick Article Submission Strategy
I’d like you to consider writing articles in 10×10 bricks and then submitting only the first brick from each lot per submission date.
Example: Within your area of expertise, select 10 sub-topics that you’re going to write about and write 10 articles in each. Then, for the next 10 days, select the first article in each sub-topic and submit 10 articles per day (1 from each sub-topic within your area of expertise).
We’re starting to see a trend where an author will submit 2-10 articles from one sub-topic of their niche and when we promote their articles in our permission-based email alerts and RSS feeds, they lose credibility because it appears they are spamming our members with what appears to be similar content…even though it’s all unique content, it’s all very focused on a narrowly themed niche.
You can modify this strategy to write and submit articles in 5×5 or 3×3 bricks, etc. The idea is to spread out your submissions so that highly related content is not focused on a single submission date.
I think that’s a great idea to get exposure and establish expertise. However, it could backfire if you’re generating articles only to create traffic back to your website and not really adding much new about a subject. As a researcher and writer, I’m just struck by how many articles out there say so little. One more web page with a little content and a lot of ads isn’t really what the internet community needs.
