Article Marketing and Building Backlinks

ha ha ha ha ha ha! Are you serious? Did you really just post that?

Let me guess? - Wikipedia

Thanks!

 

I definitely find all the information you guys/gals are providing here to be very interesting...

Many of us have different ways of going about using article marketing tactics to build backlinks for our websites. Some say, submit only one unique article to one directory - submit 1 article to many upon many directories - submit 1 unique article to 1 directory, then spin it and submit to other directories...

Looks to me as though all of these techniques have some type of success to 1 degree or another. I for one, know that they way I do my article marketing works fantastic and has me on my way to the first page for my keywords. Right now, I'm fluctuating from page 2 and 1, but, I'm sure on the next update I will get into the Top 10, and stay there.

 

Article Marketing is still a very effective way of increasing backlinks as part of the Off-page SEO techniques. However, thanks to unscrupulous and unethical people it has lost a lot of its purpose. I suggest writing an article, post it on your site, and rewrite a few different versions of that article to submit to some of the most popular directories. I know that there is not such thing as duplicate content penalty, but I rather submit a different article to each directory.

I agree... particularly with automatic approval directories where the articles get automatically approved and there is no one reading them to check for quality.

 

This is basically true. The whole Bum Marketing craze has pretty much ended up flooding the article directories with thousands of sub par articles that are written solely for the purpose of getting backlinks. The problem is that the whole article marketing industry now has a bad name and a lot of the article directories have been slapped by Google. Personally, there are only 2 article directories worth using. They are Ezine Articles and Buzzle. Submit unique content to each directory and you'll have a good chance of getting indexed and getting a lot of traffic. The trick is to make the content awesome. If you do, you'll get lots of click throughs and they'll convert.

 

Chris,

That's what seems to be true, to an extent... I still have great success with the way I do my article marketing - which has given me some authority when I make new posts to my site. As far as I'm concerned, saturated or not, article marketing is still truly an awesome tactic when it comes to getting backlinks and proving to Google that your site has relevant and great unique content for visitors.

Let me know when you're ready to join forces and kick some Article Marketing Ace! "Competition"

 

Yes, Ezinearticles, Goarticles, Hubpages. Those are my three.

 

you could outsource to craigslist as well. might be spam but if you know how to use CL well, you could actually be bringing in large streams of traffic (targeted) to your site.
