Those are some really good 10 points. Most people think article marketing was useless or dead, but these points have revived the need for it again

 

And Reason No. 11: It actually generates sales.

I have an e-book that I've been selling since 2004. I've tried at least a dozen other marketing tactics besides article marketing, including Adwords, web 2.0 stuff, etc.

Just last week, my #1 traffic source for cash paying buyers was an article that's featured on EzineArticles.com.

The analytics don't lie. Article marketing is still very much alive and kicking.

 

Thanks for the tips .

 

Thanks for the comments. I agree, point no. 11 should be generates great sales. I hope that article marketing would serve all the website owners as easy and cheap source of advertising.

Article sites are only profitable and useful if the site producing the articles has a strict guideline of quality and is already a established and high ranking site.

Not saying yours isn't, just saying why most of the time article sites do nothing.

 

your tips are really good that everybody must read

 

Absolutely, if the quality guidelines are not followed for the articles in the directory, the article directory will not have good information and will not reach good rankings. So the directory should have good articles from the start.

1) duplicate content penalty if you have the info on your site
2) people steal article site content
3) whose to say the article will index on the article site...another member mentioned earlier in the thread about pr..if the article site doesnt get much traffic then what?

Heres a thought..how about put it on YOUR site and seo the hell out of it and point links from related blogs back to it...dont drive traffic to the article sites..drive it to YOUR SITE.

 

Very well written

this is why article marketing is still my main form of advertising

 

I have also had nice success with article marketing. Whatever you do, make sure you submit to Ezine as they will give you the best jump in SERPS.

1) Submit unique articles.
2) Thank goodness for that - 90% of the time they include the links in the resouce box and you get even more backlinks.
3) Its all about Ezinearticles - I have had articles rank in google for longtail keywords which brings in even more visitors/exposure.

 

Articles are half the battle. It is important to have the article link to a squeeze page so people can leave their email address.

Too many times, people have their articles link directly to an affiliate program and they are losing out on thousands of sales.

My link below is an example of a page I would send somebody to if they wanted more information.

 

1) That duplicate content penalty theory isn't set in stone. For every SEM "fact," tons of exceptions exist.

2) People steal content whether it's on an article site or your own website. If a thief wants an article, it doesn't matter where it appears.

3) I just did some research a few weeks ago to find some sites where I could submit an article related to a book I wrote. I was shocked to find the most obscure article directories popping up in the top 20 Google search results for my keyphrases. I'm talking article directories that I've never seen or heard of.

Which proved to me that you can't automatically dismiss an article directory based on its Alexa, PR or perceived level of traffic.

In any case, as a source for traffic, I am far from writing off the validity of article directories. For my business, they deliver clicks - and more importantly sales.

 

Article sites and affiliate programs probably is not the best mix of marketing.

People who sit & read articles trying to find information typically aren't a great affiliate. In fact trying to find a good affiliate via articles is like fishing in a sea of tuna for salmon....

Those same people reading an article on vacation travel, will not likely smack themselves in the forehead and declare, "I should be a travel agency affiliate"

There are other ways to find worthwhile affiliates.

my 1.5 centavos

 

It isn't exactly the lowest cost-- that would be Stumble Upon. One catch though-- you can't stumble your own!

 

Very interesting points...

Is submitting to article sites like reddit, any different from submitting to article directories??

 

It also encourages the article writer to practice grammar, spelling and effective communication. This is a valuable skill you can take with you for life. After my 15th article I could see a big improvement in my writing skills.

It good really much now

 

Ezine articles of course, but what else? I also use GoArticles and I've heard good things about Buzzle.

 

I have a ton of articles on my Website regarding political opinions / News. Should I upload them to ezine? Would the benefits outweigh the negatives? Ie, Duplicate content vs Backlinks? Any advice?

 

As long as they were first published on your site then you have nothing to worry of with Dupe content since Google has them stored and noted under original date of inception.

In other words the articles sites would be stuck with the dupe content issue.

Article sites can drive incremental traffic, but I am not sure what the value of links are from such sites, given the fact their nothing more than link directories with a lot of text, is of any great value.
