Article Marketing Better Than SEO?

    Article marketing is better for your website than SEO. That is a fact. How many visitors do you get to your website? Hundreds every day? If so, then you must be in the top 10 results on Google for your keyword on at least one of your pages.

    The vast majority of people get nowhere and give up before giving themselves a chance, simply because they rely on organic search engine listings for traffic. Even their blogs get few visitors - if they get any. If that is you, then there is way out of this, and an easy way to get masses of visitors without having to rely on search engines. Article marketing. - Excerpt from the column of Peter Nisbet, SEO-news.com

    SEO is better i guess,I don't like submitting all my original content to article directories and then hoping visitors to click my links and visit my site.Article marketing is ok for the sites that are new but if u building for long term,its better to add content to your site itself.

    Well, article marketing is offsite SEO strategy. So, it means, there is no right or wrong answer for your question above.

    Very interesting topic you've started here. Before going to say anything, at first we've to know actually what's kind of work SEO companies are doing to increase a website SERP or PR. SEO do lots of things like, making landing page, making backlink with good neighborhood, updating page contents regularly, writing killer page title, using keywords at anchor text, directories submission etc. And the article submission is also a part of the SEO. SEO companies write good and quality articles that related with their clients sites and promote them to internet to get best respond. So, here you may also refer articles submission as a part of SEO. No differences between them.

    Good SEO will bring you more traffic than article marketing ever will. Of course in theory, good SEO could include article marketing. The thing about it is that with article marketing, you are giving away your unique content to a directory that has good web recognition so that your article will rank high in google for your keywords. The higher PR your website gets, the less article marketing becomes important in relation to other SEO methods. However, it is possible to get decent traffic with article sites such as EZA.

    If done correctly, SEO should bring more traffic to your site than articles. Submitting articles to directories will provide some targeted traffic to your site but I can't see how it can bring more traffic than SEO.

    I would invest some time into submitting articles but would concentrate on SEO.

    SEO is easier and faster in my opinion, but whatever works.

    I only recently realized that people actually click those links from the resource box of the article.

    Hello everybody. I just registered the forum.

    I thing the most effective way to promote your site is the complex of different tools! You are saying SEO is not working. But you should really spend a lot of affords to make it work. And from time to time you could have great results.
    As for article marketing - it is quite good submission to SEO.

    Article marketing is a way to generate backlinks and therefore improve your sites ranking in the SERPS. It works without a shadow of a doubt but its only part of the wholoe
