    It's all about scale. Create an article and publish it first whereever you want to but then you can just spin it and submit it to 2k more article directories

    If the owner of the site that published the content doesn't mind I guess you could do that, but I'd rather start on some more content and get 1 more good link than 2k article directory links.

    One of the best way to gain trust on Google is doing article marketing, its proven very effective but the work is too much if your doing it manually. It is also true that article marketing is not only way to get traffic, there's a lot of link building strategies such as hubpages, squidoo, profile links and social bookmarking - I don't know if its still effective.

    For me, profile links on high pr sites and web 2.0 creation is a front runner.

    The thing is that in order to "dominate" the top you have to get a big mix of different links to your site. as article marketing is cheap and easy it is a very good addition to any seo campaign. it is only addition not the only seo thing you should use. it helps gain some more different domains/IPs links

    It has a purpose when you're stuck in a niche where you're not going to find real editorial links, but I'd still take one authority link over 2,000 article directory links any day.

    One of the best traffic generation strategies on the planet is article marketing. Why do I say that? Well, what do people come on the Internet for? Some come on to it to socialize, some want to watch videos, but generally, a large proportion of the population come on the Internet to gather information. And articles form the foundation of that content.

    Article Marketing is a good way to gain traffic, but there are other ways too. In my opinion, other traffic generation methods are underrated.

    You can get similar results or at times even better results from forum marketing, video marketing, blog posting, etc...

    The key is to find a method that clicks with you and works better for you and then strive to improve that method to remain ahead of your game.

    I hope this helps!

    Why not concentrate on quality rather than 2000 spun articles, the quality of which will be appalling? Over the long term, this will lead the search engines to discounting the importance of the places where this junk is published.

    It all depends what you want to do with article marketing. Do you want to use article marketing to get backlinks? Or do you want to use article marketing to get your articles syndicated on other websites? I would write quality content articles that provides value to the readers that come across my articles.

    I suggest using your blog to not only let new people find you but also as a networking tool. Offer to profile people whom you want to meet and form a relationship with. Many people can't resist the free publicity.

    Article marketing works great and I foresee it being a valuable marketing tactic for the near future.

    I have to question if article spinning is effective. If it is effective now, how long will it be? I don't think that search engines approve of spinning out hundreds or thousands of similar articles, because it is contrary to the quality content they try to provide. Article spinning seems like a tactic that will inflate your rankings, until the day a major search engine cuts it out in the algorithm and your rankings tank. It is probably best to have a few techniques being used regularly to "diversify" your online marketing portfolio.

    As far as article marketing, I agree with a few other posts.... I would concentrate on quality rather than quantity.
