    My question is if I only submit to ezinearticles, and am getting a high number of views already, how much of a difference would submitting to a bunch of other directories and doiing social bookmarking stuff make? Would I be getting that many views on other networks too? I am just under the impression that everything you do is to increase article views, and if they are high already, is it needed.

    Article marketing when done correctly can be be beneficial in 3 ways: 1) Increase the amount of backlinks to your site, which is a major factor for Google when ranking your site. 2) Give you backlinks to your site that are relevant, which also makes Google happy. 3) Sends a little quality traffic your way via people clicking on the link in your article.

    Also - make sure that the anchor text (the words used to link to your site) use the keywords that you want to rank well.

    SEO is very important when it comes to article marketing. Your goal is to get your articles in the search engines for more exposure and this can be done with good SEO.

    Basically, it's about getting the backlinks recognised in google, so the more you have the better, and the better seo optimized your articles, and the page that they point to the better.

    Well Article Marketing is a form of SEO actualy :)
    Why ? Becouse you get links to your site...
    Please make a difference between Affliate Marketing and Article Marketing.
    Both Include posting articles on Ezine Etc but in the first you post a Clickbank/Amazon/etc link and on the second you just post a link with Anchor Text prefferably to your site :)

    It is not just about article submissions in article marketing, it is also about how well optimised your article are as far as the keywords you are targeting
    How well you have optimised the title for those keywords
    How have you gone about the submission process
    If you are looking at creating an article and getting traffic to your money site, then you need to link back to the main article, in this case ezinearticles article
    Within days you can find the articles of those big sites ranking for some pretty nice long tail keywords
    But then selecting keyword is a very important factor which everyone overlooks

    Your question is not clear.

    Are refering to using article marketing for SEO or are you talking about optimizing your articles?

    Whichever way you mean, article marketing is one of the best methods of SEO. And when writing articles it is important you optimize your articles. Just like the webpage optimization, by optimizing your articles, you are telling the search engines to place your articles in a location where your target market can find it.
