    Will article marketing really be worth my effort in promoting a CPA landing page or something?

    Absolutely! Just write quality articles, submit them to the right article directories and promote the right products / offers.

    Yes, article marketing is worth the time. Just make sure to write a good article, include an enticing resource box, and put your keyword in the title.

    If all you do are article dumpers, like ezine, no, it is not worth your time. Not even close.

    That is, if you want more than 2-digit traffic.

    Many are happy with that. Noobs, mostly.

    article marketing, done right, is probably one of the most effective methods out there. The hard bit, of course, is 'doing it right'.

    Don't expect anything to come rushing at you. It will take about 3 months for the traffic to get noticeable. Try to add unique articles to different article directories.

    submitting at ezinearticles alone can bring in traffic. Yes, article marketing is worth it.

    It will take about 3 months to get noticed?

    How is that possible when all of the old articles are buried with all of the new ones coming in every day?

    It is something you should be doing in your free time. I like it because it will likely give you a constant flow of targetted visitors. Many people get the impression that with a few articles they will be receiving hundreds of visitors each month. Most of the time (and I've never seen it) thats not the case. You might get a few hundred visitors across the next year from it. The good part about it, is that it doesn't really just die out like most other forms of advertising.

    The answer is yes and you can get targeted traffic if your article is interesting enough

    article marketing rocks.. getting residual sales through EZA submissions (do your KEYWORD research) is a fantastic way to get going.

    If you take your time and do it correctly, then Yes it
    is worth the work involved. You have to remember that
    the work you put into it will pay off over and over again.

    As stated earlier, getting your keyword research is one
    key element to making it work effectively, just as well
    as well written articles and resource boxes.

    I've noticed a lot of people tend to use wimpy resource
    boxes, and that is where the magic really happens. It
    stinks to have someone read your article only to have
    them ignore the resource box, that's why it's important
    not to neglect working on those as well.
