    with article marketing the more articles you have in circulation the more exposure you will get but you should focus more on quality than quantity

    also if your articles are good webmasters will use your articles on there site and they have to keep your link to your website so this is more exposure

    make sure you put a compelling call to action in the resource box that will encourage your readers to click on the link to your website ,a good way to do this is to let your readers know that you are giving away something free on your site (squeeze pg)(landing pg)
    this will increase your articles traffic pulling power,

    you wont have alot of room so make it sjort and sweet

    make sure your articles are around 400 words at least

    here are some sites

    www.buzzle.com
    www.ezinearticles.com
    www.goarticles.com
    www.articlesfactory.com
    www.articlesbase.com

    good info! also make sure to choose specific long keyword phrases...don't try to rank for short keyword phrases with too much competition...

    They are supposed to, but they almost NEVER do, which is unfortunate. Still, the profitability of article marketing when it is done properly is undeniable.

    Article marketing a very powerful marketing technique, but you just can't put up a 400 word article, submit it to directories and expect traffic.

    There really is a lot more to it than just that.

    But, article marketing is a great way to bring in traffic and build your list. If they like what they read from your article, they will definitely signup to see what else you have to offer.

    This is great information. But I think (in retrospect) that you should learn copywriting first, because if your unable to evoke emotion from your articles then your chances of makeing sales are greatly reduced.

    I've been using article marketing as my main form of driving traffic for a long time, now. The best advice I could give is to write optimized articles with great content.

    A lot of marketers will tell you you need to write 20 articles per day, and I used to buy into that. However, if you pump out that many article in one day, they aren't going to be quality.

    I've found that my sales and leads have increased since I started writng 1 or 2, 800-1000 word masterpieces every day. I try to put out killer content. I've also noticed that more webmasters and ezine publishers have picked up my articles since I started doing this.

    It takes me 1-2 hours to pump out a truly good article, but it's worth it. Just last week, I wrote an 850 word piece about my niche that got indexed well and brought me 212 hoplinks in one day that resulted in 4 sales. It has made me 3 sales since. So, if you put out great articles that rank well, they will continue to pay you for years to come.

    Yeah, give me the keywords you want an article written about, and I will take care of it.

    For a fee, of course.

    Article marketing works better for me to build my list. All of my articles from several article directories are linking to my squeeze page. I don't focus on sales, i focus on list building. People will never buy from you if you put a link of your sales page in the resource box, because they don't know you. Maybe for some of you it works, but not for the majority of people. List building should be your number 1 priority whatever you do online. When I do article marketing, blog commenting, guest blogging, forum posting, social bookmarking, all of them links to my squeeze page and not a sales page. Once they become your subscribers, then you can offer, but make sure to build relationship first and don't be too blatant when making an offer. If the people really trust you, they will buy from you without you making extra effort.

    Article marketing is a good way to build backlinks and drive some traffic. It also doesn't cost you anything but your time.

    To get the most out of your articles it's good to re-purpose the content and get more backlinks and traffic. You can create videos, create web 2.0 properties, use Press releases etc.

    Best Wishes!

    Article marketing does work. But, what your suggesting is actually article submission.

    Article submission - Submitting a bunch of articles to all the top article directories

    Article Marketing - Writing a few high quality articles on your niche and then promoting the article it self. If you have an article in EZA post the link to the article in your forum signature. This will also get people to view your article and then hopefully click your link.

    Are we all in agreement with this. Just my way of thinking.
