Does Article Marketing still work?

Cars-blog · 06-03-2009, 09:08 AM

How's everyone's experiences with article marketing? I've written a couple of articles and had them approved at EzineArticles. Initially they were getting published but for a while now that's not happening, not with the old articles and not with newer ones either.

I've found quite a few that just copy the article and dump the author's detail box

It looks like the web's changed now that blogging and RSS feeds are mainstay.

Is it now a matter of submitting your article to a 100 article directories rather than hope they get republished?

Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Article marketing will work only then when you use unique and quality content as well as a hot topic. Otherwise it will become hard for you.

yes, article marketing is still one of the best method.
just make sure to use original content.

I'm glad to hear that it still works.

I'm a newbie here and about to join websites that are looking for article writers.

I have had troubles with ezinearticles.com as well, I find it easier to get published on goarticles.com, articlesbase.com and others. Personally I utilize article writing and publishing as part of my marketing campaign and have seen not only direct traffic, but also raised SERPs rankings. Right now the top three ways to promote a website seem to be article marketing, guest posting, and blogging/commenting. I could of course be wrong with these three.

I do get published at ezinearticles just the articles don't get republished, they just get copied and I don't get credited for the article

I'll try goarticles.com and articlesbase.com and see what happens there. Thanks.

I think that article submission is still a good way of getting traffic plus some ok backlinks. I suggest you submit your articles to only 10-15 top article directories like these:

ezinearticles.com/
articledashboard.com
easyarticles.com
goarticles.com
selfgrowth.com
ideamarketers.com
articlesfactory.com
articlealley.com

Yes, Article submission will definitely work for you if the article you have posted has the Content which is required to drive visitors to your blog or website i.e. Unique content.

Article submission will also allows you to spread the content of your website or Blog which is really important in order to gain recognition on the internet. If you have your website's or blog link in the Signature you will get backlink and you will also get the recognition as your website's link is placed in the Signature. This could be beneficial to you if your website or blog is new.

If your website or blog is new, most probably, it will not rank in the Search engines. However, if you submit the articles of your Blog in Article submission directories or websites, the websites or Directories will rank higher for the specific keywords. Due to this, the visitor will visit the article submission website or directory and if the content is good and the reader likes the content, the visitor will definitely visit your website or blog as you have a link in the Signature. This will help you to get traffic to your website or blog.

Also, Article submission directories mostly have a good PR and if your website or blog gets a backlink from a high PR website, the value will definitely increase which is what you want.

article marketing does work big time

you don't want to submit to 100 different articles

you just have to do 10 to 15 of the top article site.

Success of article marketing largely depends on the quality and the topics which you have chosen. My opinion is that, it is the best way for marketing.

succeedemail · 06-10-2009, 12:07 PM

Article marketing is like anything else. If you put some time and effort to it you can produce some high quality leads. If you think it's some secret strategy that you don't need to work for to see results, you're out of luck.

Re:"How's everyone's experiences with article marketing?"

Like most things in life it takes work for you to see outstanding results.

I like the results I've seen both in direct traffic as well as increased rankings for my chosen keywords which have both led to revenue.

For me one of the best benefits of article marketing is not so direct. It is the benefit of increased credibility. If you have expertise in a certain field using articles certainly helps your reputation.

Re:"I've found quite a few that just copy the article and dump the author's detail box"

Unfortunately this has really become more and more common. People don't seem to have the respect for the work of others as they should. When this first happened to me I used to email a few of he offenders and request that they move the article. It seems that all I ran into were people got defensive and tried to justify their actions by saying, "but I followed the EzineArticle terms of use"...which, or course, they did not.

Now I simply send a DMCA takedown notice to the webhost. I usually take down about one site a week. Takes about 3 minutes to send the email to the webhost and you're done.

I don't suggest you spend the bulk of your time chasing content theives as it will become tedious and non-productive.

Best of luck with your article marketing.

If the articles are unique and the links are in the text with correct anchor tags, than yes. If it's the same article submitted 100's of times, than you are wasting your time and money.

When I get motivated enough to submit some articles, I'll choose one or 2, and only submit them to the top article sites like the ones mentioned above. It's always given a boost in rankings, but it does take time to build accounts up on the article sites.

Relevant and hot key words will make an article better than anything and still the use of articles for marketing if not finished. So you don't need to worry rather you need to concentrate on making quality articles.

efjay98754 · 06-21-2009, 01:18 PM

I do believe article marketing is one of coolest method still. You should keep patience and focus on on quality of your writing rather than being hopeless. You should also avoid publishing one article so many times.

DaniiOfOz · 06-22-2009, 12:30 AM

Re-publishing is as good as stealing so it will probably bite them back somehow in life. Wouldn't worry too much about it. Original articles are a great way to source traffic to your main site or blog if they are on in demand topics.
