Article Marketing - Does it really work

[ajhaveri]

I'm considering writing and manually submitting a number of articles to the article directories. Of course, each article - in the resource box, or elsewhere, will have a link back to my site for SEO purpose.

I wanted to see is anyone could sharing their personal experiences with article marketing? Where did you submit? How many articles have you submitted so far? Statistics on article marketing that anyone could share would be great.

Thanks!

No stats or anything huh? I know i know - there's a lot of information out there on Google - was just looking for personal experiences with the practice! Any thoughts would be great. If not, no worries, I'll submit and recount my experience here for the benefit of all :-)

I don't have any stats but I have submitted numerous articles to directories. You can submit them to:

http://www.associatedcontent.com
http://www.ezinearticles.com
http://www.goarticles.com

Or you can mass submit your article through JetSubmitter. I have also used them and I would recommend it.

One article to lots of article sites a week, sometimes published sometimes not

i also want to know if this technique is actually useful for SEO purposes.

Just try to make an article which has something for your visitors - something valuable and interesting to read. So, they can forward it to anybody else also to read it out. A good article always get rewarded by visitors by their comments or star marking. There are many famous article submission websites like ezinearticles.com etc. where you can submit your articles.

I don't really think it works that well. I've tried it and it hasn't worked out for me.

[ezhel]

it helps if you have latest articles that attract more visitors for more visibility.

I only tried this method once and it did generate traffic but the affiliate program it was promoting was not very good at converting so the jurys still out for me.

If well written, article marketing helps in driving a good traffic to the website

A nicely formatted non-keyword driven article could do wonders for even the smallest niche site.

I haven't used article marketing for my blog because it is new and it just doesn't seem logical to write for websites other than my blog if i'm producing content that is related to it. Granted, many would argue that.

I have used it for other sites though and have found it somewhat useful. I recieve a consistent small amount of traffic. It's certainly not a method that you could use and just be flooded with traffic though, thats for sure.

Well, it would not help you much in SEO, but might help you in SERP. If you want to inprove your PR, i will suggest you to post it on high PR blog/website
