    Anyone here is using Articles to pull traffic? If yes, what is the outcome? I have some but not a lot of traffic. Anything that I need to do after my articles submission? Please advise. Thanks

    I think articles are a good long term strategy. If you have the time to pop one out every week then it's probably a solid idea. Unless its very search engine friendly though I just dont know if theyll be effective at getting massive traffic.

    Article marketing works, but not as well as it used to. Generally I only use articles for the backlinks.

    If you are trying to use your articles to drive traffic to your website, then make sure to get then ranked high in the SERPS.

    I don't think so that articles will help you to increase your traffic. I use articles to get back links but not to increase traffic.

    with the market so saturated now.. the articles that pull in traffics are the ones that are truely funny, entertaining, insightful, original, and ultimately viral... backlink benefit is still there... keyword rich article may gets some clicks from search engine and subsequently to your website.. trickle at best

    Yep! the articles work for back links but the articles you post must not be a promotional article, it must have information useful to the readers. It must also speak about the best services you provide and you have to post your articles under a suitable category and to a site with good PR and which would have good visitors. By posting articles in such sites could increase your popularity and may bring in traffics if your article is effective.

    Crappy filler-filled articles won't bring you much benefit. Invest in good, useful articles and you will get more backlinks, more traffic plus more subscribers to your list.

    To get direct traffic from articles they must be written very very well, have something unique to say and be related to your area. There are millions of articles out there on every topic you could think of that you're competing with. Articles are still good for backlinks though.

    Yes, articles do work, very well, but a lot will depend on your niche. Some niches get a lot of traffic, while others do not. I'm not entirely sure why this is the case.

    Articles can definitely help you drive traffic. In order to so you just follow the general rules of effective marketing in relation to the search engines. Pick a keyword that produces a good amount of traffic and that can be converted into money, and then create an article around that keyword.

    Except, with articles you need to convince the visitor to click through to your website which means you'll need to put some effort into keeping the visitor's interest. Essentially, you need to write well written articles.

    When I first started doing article marketing I received very little traffic. even worse, I was promoting clickbank products, and was getting very few sales.

    Then I learned two valuable lessons.

    When it comes to traffic or conversion the title is everything.
    You have to keep in mind that those two things are extremely different from each other. I have written some articles that had very little traffic, but when somebody did read and click through there were almost certain to buy. On the other hand, I've had articles that have received significant amounts of traffic, but very few sales because they were so generic.

    The other biggest mistake I see when people write articles is at the end of the article they summarize. You should never ever summarize an article, rather your bio box should lead them to the solution or summary. Making this one small adjustment in my writing style has completely changed the amount of traffic and sales I get from article marketing.

    Hope this helps.

    To paraphrase everyone:

    They work good for backlinks.

    Your title is the most important part for views.

    You need to lead them to your link with the article and create a need to click it.

    Don't post crap.

    The article marketing works very well. But, it's a long time strategy. You have keep submitting your articles and after a while you'll see the results.
