Honestly, I think article marketing is the best way of building backlinks in a natural looking way. I use easyarticlespinner.net to create varied content then submit them to article directories. I use a spinner, simply to avoid plagiarism.
I agree that article marketing helps to build links and bring more traffic to your site, but I personally wouldn't say that this is the only best way of doing this. Probably it is the easiest and shows quite good results.
Article Marketing can be a great tool for generating traffic. If you write crappy content, nobody will click on your links.
Yes It's worth a lot. If you know how to snipe the niche and accepted by ezine. Make sure the content quality is good.
Personally, I find getting extra backlinks quite exciting! But yeah, the process of writing the article itself can be quite boring. Depends on the niche though.
It is good only if you do it consistently and persistently. No point submitting just 5 articles and expect miracles
Even though writing articles can be boring I actually do learn new things when I do research for articles for many different niches. The only problem is it can slow down my article writing because I get too interested in some of the topics.
Yes, yes and YES. They are worth for sure. I know many websites whos rankings are in top just because they take article marketing as a serious method of link building. It not only helps you get backlinks but a quality article in quality website helps you to get good traffic. You need to work slowly and you can see slowly traffic will flow. Another advantage is articles have high probability of getting ranked for long tail keywords. You will get traffic from these too So it is worth the time.
article marketing works good if you write it good. great techniques for buildinglinks too ofcourse you have to put links to your site.
