    I searched the forum but all I could find was people selling articles and all that, sorry if I missed something.

    Anyway, if one were to write an article what would they do next? How do you submit them and where to? How do you get it to link back to your website and all that stuff.

    Could they be used for forums?

    I guess im just totally clueless and I really need to learn about it because it seems like a great way to drive traffic to your website....or at least thats what im getting from reading what few posts I have.

    What you do with articles is that you basically submit the articles to article directories such as ezinearticles.com. And people get to use your articles for free, under the circumstance that they include the author's bio box, which includes a link back to your website. So article marketing basically helps increase your link popularity.

    Write an article, include a resource box with keyword backlinks to your site.

    Submit to Ezinearticles.com. Articles are picked up by webmasters and used on their sites..if your article is good you will get hundreds of backlinks to your site.

    Yeah... most of the people love to submit their articles to ezinearticles.com!

    If you don't want, you can also try to submit it to squidoo.com! But make sure your article is niche before you submit it to squidoo.com
    . :)

    Hello,

    One thing.... If you write an article, no add your the same article in your site and in article directory, make sure, you have unique articles in each site... Becouse maybe you write something update the artcle at the same time in both sites, and then maybe your article will be duplicate :)

    Best,
    Jakomo

    If you are buying articles for the purpose of article marketing, make sure they are UNIQUE and exclusive to you, and get the content written specifically for you.

    If you are buying PLR articles, then you cannot submit them to the article directories, but you can use them for content on your website and/or blogs.

    Hope that helps

    Well you would buy and article and place it on an article site or something. You can put the article anywhere like social bookmarking, article directories, forums. The way you do it is post the article on your site, and then leave links on forums, article directories, social bookmarking sites. And if you have a catchy title people will go in, maybe find the article interesting and look for more on your site, if your other ones are interesting to them, most likely they will be back

    You can write the articles yourself or outsource to people found on freelance websites. The articles must meet a minimum requirement - number of words, technical relevance, keyword density etc.

    After this, you submit to article directories - hundreds of them but submit to those with PR 4 and higher to gain quality backlinks.

    Depending on the directory rules, you can put your links in the resource box or in the main body of the article. They should be live - meaning it should take viewers to the website if clicked.
