    Hi folks,

    I am just wondering what people here think about article marketing in general. Do most here do bum marketing or all out article marketing?

    Do you have success with it? Did it not work for you?

    I appreciate and thank you for your time!

    Allen Graves

    p.s. is this the right forum to post this in?

    I just stopped in to say thank you for saying "article marketing," instead of that stupid "bum marketing."

    It didn't do much for me, but the more backlinks I have the better.

    I write articles time to time.
    It is nice to see readers enjoy and benefit from them.
    Beyond that, for business purposes, you need many hundreds to thousands to really benefit.

    I still use Article Marketing to this day, it gets me quite a bit of traffic. But I don't do it as often as I used to because I have found that Videos are sending way more visitors to my website :)

    We generally do this to get back link as much as we can but i not sure how much effective it is. I hope if we post some good quality articles then it will definitely give back some links as well

    I do it occasionally for the backlinks. But if you are going to be writing a whole batch of articles for a certain niche, you should just keep those articles for yourself and build a website out of it.

    Hi Perry...yea, there's a big difference between bum marketing and article marketing.

    Anyhow, it seems to me that from the responses above, you guys just haven't been told HOW to do article marketing to actually make it work.

    I also see that most of you are doing it just for the backlinks, although a couple did mention the benefits the readers get.

    Thanks for your words everyone.
