Article Marketing Doesn't Work
By: Chris McElroy AKA NameCritic -
First let me explain article marketing for those that do not
know what it is. Lets say your website is about widgets. You write
an article on interesting ways people can use widgets.
In the footer of your article there is an author bio section. In
the author bio section you place links to your website about
widgets.
You submit that article to as many article directories as possible.
You can use a service www.isnare.com ISnare.com who for two dollars
per article will submit your article to hundreds of article
directories.
Once you submit to all of those directories, remember the link in
the author bio section, each of those directories is now a one-way
inbound link.
Now none of those links is related to widgets, so they are not
relative links, but they do still count for link popularity, just
not as much as relative links do.
But the second reason that article directories exist is to provide
free content to website owners. These website owners can take your
article and use it as content for their website as long as they
leave the links in the author bio section active and intact.
Article Marketing Doesn't Work. That is exactly what some old-time
experienced SEO people are still saying. Yet, one of the clients I
wrote articles for went from a link popularity of 1 to a link
popularity of 457 in 8 days.
I received an email today from a client I wrote an article for on
"Free Credit Repair" 3 days ago. He did a search in Google today
for "Free Credit Repair" and the article was in the top 100. Tough
category, but it was written 3 days ago and appears in Google for
his search term with links to his website.
I can continue to provide dozens of examples where article
marketing works and works fast. Once those articles are picked up
by other websites besides the article directories, the real benefit
comes.
Those websites that pick up and use the widget articles as content
for their websites would not use the article if it were not related
to their own topic, which means related to widgets in this case.
That means relative one-way inbound links for your website.
If you have no use for quick link popularity and relative one-way
inbound links to your website, then article marketing is not for
you.
