Question for you article writing gurus

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by jsacco, Nov 24, 2007.

    I just started writing and submitting articles a couple of weeks ago and I think it is great. My question is do you think it is worth it to create links within the articles or should I just focus on making sure my website is listed at the end and not go to all that trouble. I would be very interested in your opinions.

    Thanks,

    Joe

    Backlinks are always good as long as they are on target.

    Backlinking with targeted anchor text is always beneficial

    Why would you write articles and NOT put your active link in?

    Yes, put it in.

    Well, it depends in my book

    By links, I assume you mean affiliate links within the article? Since most article directories are targeted to 60 cpl in plain text. Most of your affiliate links will stick out or be evident unles you cloak them to a link on your site.

    if you mean links to products on your site - I dont see any reason why not

    It is better for you to back link to your site where you can collect opt-in list or even sell. People will click at your link if they like your article. You are writing to get something, right?

    Thanks

    Either way, as long as the links are related.

    Is there any way to put links in articles without using the resource box? Most directories I use don't let you. Can you just type up most of the article using the resource box, and therefore, but links in?
