Article Submission

First question:
Is "Article submission" classified as an "SEO" activity?

Second question:
Is there a Google penalty if I submit more than 10 articles to ezinearticles, all with back links to me? Different anchor text in each case. Do I have to submit the next 10 articles to different article directory or continue submitting them to ezinearticles? I dont want any penalties to happen so I am trying to be very careful here.

Will appreciate every advice.

[FONT=Georgia]No problem, you will never get penalized for getting inbound links from one article directory. Just continue your work and you will definitely enjoy good rank in future.

Ezine is probably the best article site out there so it would be highly unlikely to receive such a penalty. Some of the more experienced writers have submitted seriously large numbers of articles which they would not have if there was a risk.

Article submission is a part of SEO process. Just don't spam and post only useful articles on that site and you'll be safe.

what is the chances for penalty is excessive use of keywords, linking to banned sites, getting linked by bad sites and many more.... so, I think there is no possibility for penalty in Ezine and even Ezine is best site for Articles.

Yeah i agree, article submission is a part of SEO actually this is one of a good way for getting good back links..

There are certain debates if article submission is still an effective technique in SEO. The right thing to do in article submissions is instead of submitting it to tons of articles sites choose those article submission sites which are old enough that Google seems to give weight, due to many of the articles sites today are less trusted by G because of spam submission.

Article submission is part of SEO it will give you some backlinks and aslo generate traffic.

There is no problem with submitting articles to ezinearticles

where we can submit the articles.
