I hope a lot of people there use this marketing vehicle. It truly has a lot of potential. What are the effects of this marketing strategy for your business?
Article marketing is the bread and butter of internet marketing imo. It's the best way besides PPC to get targeted visitors. Article marketing doesn't just mean submitting to Ezine anymore. Web 2.0 is also article marketing.
Article marketing does a number of things for you and heres the short list 1. Quality backlink to your site 2. Rank higher for search results 3. Traffic that comes from those searches 4. Brands your name 5. Brands your image Article marketing is effective however it seems to have become a huge numbers game as more and more people start doing it.
Article marketing for me is just another form of backlinking. Don't get me wrong, i do think there is allot of potential in this form of marketing, but social media does offer more. I keep my great articles for my quality website, that way i drive the traffic, constantly and allows me to better my sales. But 1 out of 10 articles i will submit to directories to help establish backlinks and traffic.
Please don't Hi-Jake threads! Backlinks = Article writing, blog commenting, link exchange, Forum posting, and so on!
Pure article marketing itself cannot work wonders,though it does work Google has grown smarter, you need to get those articles online, everyone knows about it But do you know that article directories have grown smarter too, so just by blasting an article all over the internet is not going to help anyone, neither you nor the article site owners Plus, it creates junk all around the internet, and search engines hate that kind of junk and de index them over a period of time, get those articles with value for your article page visitors, give them something to read and enjoy and that way you literally force them to click your links, of course that stays as a backlink in the eyes of google
I read about article marketing, the Number of ebooks out there about article marketing is enough to say it is very important in IM
... or maybe it's just the legions of idiots writing their stupid "make money online" ebooks trying to hook you into it. haha Article marketing is only as good as your writing, what you are pushing and how many people are reading it. This is not the silver bullet that the DP community will have you believe.
For my business it gives just a lot of high quality backlinks and I get some good traffic from it. I don't get traffic for all my articles but then I am just happy with the good backlink.
it's a good way but sometimes you need to do it in a popular way 1. not only write but also podcast 2. make article contain pictures and even video 3. leave free useful resources links 4. "top 10" or "best 3" titles are always effective
Definitely article marketing is good, but you have to make sure to build those backlinks. Just as Tangyi has stated above, you will find that videos can be very affective. I am just now starting to implement videos into my own websites.
article marketing still work for traffic and quality backlink, web 2.0 properties are also way of content marketing.
Article marketing is a backlinking strategy that is not as effective as it used to be by itself. It should instead be used in combination with a lot of different methods. Unique content is important, but you don't want to just dump it all in a article directory and hope for the best. Your best bet is to create a number of different web 2.0 sites (blogger, wordpress, squidoo, weebly, etc) and use all their "link juice" to point back to your money page.. Google places importance on relevance as much as PR, so while a site like ezinearticles is a good way to get a high PR backlink it's not the be all end all. Hope that helps a little.
I love article marketing, its strong. But you have to remember to build backlinks at a steady pace. Don't overhaul the system or you'll end up getting in trouble.
I love article marketing because I like writing articles, so it was the perfect form of promotion, backlinks, and sales pitch's, all at once.
