Links from Article sites, can they work in a moderately competitive niche??

[davids]

Links from articles are not much of any help these days. But still some of them provide some link juice. Just wondering can they work in a moderately competitive niche? Highly competitive niche is a no-no that I get. So, can they?

Depends on the competition how it is but yeah it can work.

Paid directories often pass some link juice so if you are in a niche where competitors have no or very weak link profiles then they can surely help you rank. Maybe not in the first position but you will get ranked well.

Yep they can help to rank. We use them all the time.

It doesn't matter high or low competitive niche you have, the most important thing here is Does your content really reach its target audience?

What do you mean that it doesn't matter?

So, can you rank high in a highly competitive niche with just article links? (Keeping earning links is out of the table)

How can you say that it can help to rank? It is not even a ranking metrics.

Yes, its possible because your submitted article links can reach the right audience for you and engage with your website site page. Google can consider your site to rank on the appropriate users query.

Read and understand between the lines and don't just say "Yep they can help to rank. We use them all the time." without even discussing why.

Read what OP asked!! OP asked for, can those links from article sites help getting ranked in a moderate competitive niche? So, I answered 'yes'.

You are the one talking without a clue. 'Ranking metrics' What ranking metrics are you talking about?

You said again 'high or low competitive niche doesn't matter'. When OP specifically asked for low or medium competitive niche.

And by the way now-a-days. Nobody gives away a do-follow links for free. Even if you earn a link it sure will be a no-follow for sure.

I agree with Brian what metrics can you refer? Rather then just talking about engaging content

Yes, it works because many of the directory sites do the same and provide link juice tactics and offer website a better rank.
