You need to submit one a day for a year and you will start seeing results. Post to only a few article directory sites, do not mass circulate.

I disagree with a comment above though. If you are doing keyword research and find some great terms, use those terms for YOUR site, not the article site. Then, write an article for the article sites which has similar key terms. Google loves this...it's called semantic latent indexing...Read more on my site :) Cheers, Richard Article marketing can generate thousands of inbound hits.

Here is the thing: If you are operating in a niche where you can pre-sell to your customers, go for article marketing because it will work. This only happens for micro niches where you do not have thousands of people writing the same thing as you are. Try doing that for a big niche and you will have to write thousands of articles to get any meaningful results. For me, I have got 2-3 clients who read my articles then decided to buy my services. I guess it is the industry you operate in. Anyone has any ideas on duplicate content. Do all your links count when you submit the same article to hundreds of directoriesÉ Please let me know! Hi,

I write articles that explain about domain names and web hosting which have cost me around £3 per click when using adwords. If i had to pay adwords for the amount of traffic i have received from my articles then it would have cost me over £5000 and ive only been writing articles for around three weeks. Ive made 3 sales from article marketing for web hosting companies that pay me $100/sale so im happy with the results. Of course article marketing works. It just takes alot of effort and time to create quality unique content.

On the bright side, you get what you put in. I submitted two article to a few article submission sites including Ezine, and within a few weeks I went from a page rank of 0 to a page rank of 1 for the <a href="http://www.china-promo.com/" rel="nofollow">promotional products and advertising website</a> I was trying to build traffic for.

See many article threads on DigitalPoint. True, many eZine articles are rubbish so would be SHOCKED to see ppl hosting them on their sites, wish spammy link intact. Start a blog, host ur articles there and network network network. Its a long term strategy, not an overnight traffic barrage (who DOESN'T want that?)

I write an average of one article per day. Forget buying links, you may have a short term gain but it will create long term pain. Article marketing brings long term success for the people who have the patience to stick with it. 20 articles will have little impact, 200 will, 1000 and your laughing!

The logic being that you write a cracking article with relevant useful content that other website publishers incorporate into their own sites. Obviously you leave a relevant keyword rich link (a keyword phrase for which you would like to be ranked of course)in the Author bio in the footer. As someone pointed out above though, a large proportion of the articles are trash and other than getting a single link from the article in the article directory your wasting your time. The real results come from spending the time and effort to produce a quality article that is worthy of being used by website publishers. One good article that is published on 20 different websites is better than 10 poor articles that are published on non.
