    Hey folks

    This subject has had some controversy. Is Article Marketing dead. I use to use Unique Article Wizzard (UAW) and it worked like a charm. No more! However I hear from many SEOs that it still works. What are people's thoughts?

    If you are using spun or stolen content then it's dead too early and Article Marketing will never dead if you put fresh and unique content.

    If you are writing good unique meaningful article for your site that will help you.
    Don't use any article writing tool.

    People have been writing articles on various subjects forever. Writing will never die, so, if you write great articles and publish them on great resources, this will only have a positive effect on your company's reputation, your rep as an author and perhaps your google search engine ranking.

    In this respect, article marketing is not dead, but distributing spun articles to tons of low-quality sites does not work anymore.

    Kianu is a wise man :)

    Article marketing is never going to be dead. Honestly, the amount of these threads asking if certain elements of marketing or SEO are dead is getting ridiculous. The only thing that is dead is spamming and being lazy. It's becoming harder and harder to use automated tools and get rankings. Dead are the days of setting up some software, leaving it for a few hours then being ranked on the first or second page.

    Article marketing is not dead, people just aren't doing it write. If you throw up some spun crap no one is going to read it. Even if they do manage to make it through the first paragraph why would they click on any links in your article or the resource box and visit your site? If I see an article that I can barely figure out what they are saying, I'm certainly not going to visit the author's site that uploaded that.

    If you target some of the larger directories and provide high quality articles you will have much better luck.

    In my opinion article marketing is a great way to derive traffic to your website. Keep in mind your whole efforts are dead, if you are not using the top class content. Always use dofollow and high page rank websites for your article marketing submissions.

    Article marketing still works but you need a great content and don't spread it in too many sites. It is better to submit one article in only one website. Also, take care of your anchor text, variation in anchor text is necessary to increase the rank.

    You would still get benefit, if you submit your unique and quality articles to only top article directories.

    Does anyone have resources for some of the best directories to submit to that you are getting results from? Is it strictly a linking strategy or are people getting traffic from them as well?

    Cheers!

    Check out this site.... sooperarticles.com
    They allow only unique articles on their site and I use it regularly. I have achieved ranking for many keywords as I submit unique articles to this site. Also www.1888articles.com is really good and helpful.
    So I can say that AM is not dead, but it is important to do it properly and smartly....
