True that. Some do well, some don't. It didn't cost me anything but time and it is a great way to experiment with learning good copy, good titles, etc.
Yeah it's great for testing, for example- I wrote 15 articles for a language product, the result?..woeful. Barely a single CT and single figure views, so hops were didly squat- yes, you live and learn, I should have just done a couple and tested the water. In fact the feedback from the product owners themselves who have online help, advised me to only use ezine to give weight to your site and google rank and not for traffic, so bit disillusioned as new to this, but then wrote 2 articles for another product , very popular at the moment so wasn't looking for seo traffic, had 37 hops and 2 sales. Keep trying various niches and i think the markets will speak for themselves. I myself get writers block, but at least were not slave labouring away in some sweat shop, try and enjoy the research side of writing, like signing up to google news or blogs with bloglines and don't stress that your personal target of say writing 5 articles a day isn't happening- like i do!
Grover, You just are not in the right frame of mind and you don't understand how article marketing should be done. I'm sending you a PM. Allen GRaves
That's correct dieg, a lot fo people will submit a few articles, get no return after two days and then quit and tell everyone it doesn't work. If you just give it a little time and effort, you'll see that you could actually make a heck of a lot of money with article marketing. AL
