The Age Old Article Marketing Question: Quality vs. Quantity

So I was curious what everyone thought in terms of best choice for sales. Go all out and throw everything at the wall and hope something sticks (and consequently building more links to your own site (if that's how you do it))...or do you take more time and come out with a smaller number of more carefully written articles in hopes of cashing in with one or more of those legendary hundreds of bucks per article articles. Yeah, I know it all depends on niche research, keywords, a whole bunch of other factors, but straight up if I'm looking to market through articles...I was wondering how you all would weigh in? Opinions?

 

Quality first. My crap articles I wrote in the beginning bring in absolutely nothing.

 

Hate to chime in on the opposite side but my crap articles still make me money. I am embarrassed by the articles but I'm not pulling them down. I say quantity.

 

although i don't use articles much, but i say quality is the most important .

 

I would sat quantity, because even if you are 10 super-quality articles, I don't think that they will perform better rather than 100 articles.

 

If you mean quality :seod articles with good keywords...then quality is well over quantity...If you don't mean this then quantity...

 

I meant more in the quality content aspect as in more people would attest that the article helped them and even persuaded them to click on as opposed to a thrown together article. If it's a bunch of sloppy articles or if it's just a small handful of well written articles, optimize and keyword em either way.

But yeah, from reading other threads about article marketing it always looks split down the middle in how people are feeling and which they prefer/believe in, this looks no different.

 

Grover - I guarantee your crap articles crap on my crap articles

lol.

mines were that bad.

 

Expert - I would be afraid to have that competition. Mine were pretty dumb. But a sale is a sale!

 

I'll definitely take a different direction. My quality articles rarely make me a sale and it's my overly vague that do.

Articles that sell, do a lot better than articles that send people to a product not knowing what the hell it is.

As well, I find your article is vague and your resource box is exciting, they'll click it.

 

I don't put my best information in articles - in fact, they're kinda vague - I wouldn't say overly, but I guess they're quality enough to get the customers to click through.

I do agree with you. The resource box makes a big different. If you perfect that - you'll have many articles 40% clickthrough or more like me.

 

yes, quality must be at first.

I have been going with quantity to build backlinks so my website performs better in the search engines. I have been having good results with Yahoo and MSN using this method. Still waiting for google to take to me

I have a few quality articles in these aswell
