    Article marketing definitely still works. With that being said, you still need a decent volume of articles to drive an appreciable amount of traffic to your site. Just putting up a few articles here and there will not work. Also, be mindful of backlinking and try to integrate your article marketing with video and podcasts, making sure that they're keyword rich and targeted. Doing this will really boost your site rankings over time.

    The most important elements in my mind are the command of the English language and the creativity to write original, relevant content. If you possess these qualities then all thats holding you back from some nice paydays is how much time you are willing to put in.

    Article Marketing is the best. But you need concern to originality, keyword research, no duplicate content.

    I believe this has been asked before here in DP, but anyway in my personal opinion it is effective if what you have written is informative and factual but that is one of the many things you need to consider in making an article marketable , just test different article writings to identify which is an effective article writing style in this marketing approach

    Article marketing works, but don't expect to totally rely on it. The thing I like about it is that it is permanent and consistent. From every article I post, I don't get a lot of traffic. However, from every article I post I get a little bit of traffic that will exist forever and keep giving me return traffic. It's best to use it with that same idea in mind. Don't go into it expecting to get 100 Unique Visitors in the first week you post a single article to ezinearticles. It just doesn't work that way.

    Yes, article marketing is extremely effective. What you must remember however is not put all your eggs in one basket, or rely to heavily on new, spam infested article directories. The key to success is of course a well-written article, and submissions across a network of sites; a mix of quantity and quality is the way to go, and a proper anchor text link in your resource bio. Best of luck,

    Matt

    article marketing definately works and is really effective. If you struggle with writing just get it done for you a site i use is needanarticle.com they are good. Also try to get it submitted to multiple sites through a submitter i use web2mayhem.com (paid version) but there are free ones out there

    Good luck

    article marketing works, but everything change a bit with time and for good. the days when you could send the same article to multiple article directories and expect to rank them or get link value are gone. try writing or get written unique content and submit unique article to as many article directories as possible. then social bookmark those articles so that they gets optimized and if done properly those articles also get some pr in the next update. i have ranked for some very competitive terms by this method, so this definitely works.

    Yep, uttoransen is right, for the reason he gave, I pretty much only rely on ezinearticles these days. If i'm going somewhere else, I always rewrite the articles for the other article directories. I have generally found this to be a time waste as most other directories don't rank as well as ezinearticles. It is more of just for the backlinks.

    A steady campaign of article marketing frequently with other diversified link building methods can work wonders. Article marketing is one of the cost effective forms of marketing that can be found on the internet, it costs less for the return it gives. Each niche deserves different kinds of article marketing campaign, as the saying goes, no two apple are equal, so this needs more deliberation than just blasting away your article all over the internet.

    The key is unique, interesting content. If your stuff is good, other webmasters are going to find it and link to it. It may take awhile, but article marketing can be very effective. And, hey, it's free advertising, so that helps too! :)

    Article marketing does work if, you choose the right keywords to write your content around. Do some research and find out what keywords or phrases don't have very much competition. It will be much easier to rank higher in the search engines this way.

    Article marketing still works. However, if you're planning to use your articles to generate targeted traffic to your site, then you need to write them DIFFERENTLY than you would articles that are meant to just provide backlinks. With backlink articles, the most important component is the keywords you use in the articles. However, for traffic generating articles, the most important component is going to be building trust and generating an immediate interest in visiting your website to find out more.

    I agree that article marketing still works, however, to keep your article up in the search engines you may want to think about backlinking your articles. This is a technique that some IM'ers use to push high competition keyword articles up to the 1st page of Google. High PR forum profile links seem to work best.
