How does article marketing work?

Hello,

I have been thinking of starting on clickbank. I have worked with PPC in the past, and know how it works, but i never worked with article marketing. How does this work?

I know i write articles to submit to ezinearticle and other article sites, but are these mainly for SE purposes? Where do i put my links? Are actual people reading these articles?

I can write, but i am a bit lost on how these articles will help me. What do i have to do with them?

 

You will find a lot of people that are high on article marketing here (mostly because it doesn' require cash) but it is mostly an SEO tactic and not good at driving affiliate sales.

I won't go into it here but you can read my comments about a failed attempt to do this very thing here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=739772

 

Search results pages > your article > your landing page > merchant's page

 

He has covered almost everything

 

Well, in short, that's how it works

 

Article marketing works but you have to do good keyword research.... plus you can't just write articles in your articles you need to provide value to them... help them.. I would write a few quality articles over many articles..
