		<description>I think quality matters - I hate link building that ignores the intended audience. 

But it seems the power of articles is diminishing post-Panda, which means you really need to consider your likely returns before investing lots of time in them.</description>

		<description>I think that backlinks are more weighted in Google than articles. On the other hand I have yet to actually run an article campaign but I intend to do so. From all the research I&#039;ve done I would say its a bout a 50-50 split with those that claim it works and those that say it doesn&#039;t. I also believe that there are certain niches that it would give more of an advantage to.</description>

		<description>I think it is the backlinks that may somehow pay off and not the direct traffic. Most of the people read what you submit and then leave, don&#039;t come to your website. But if is a &#039;follow&#039; site, then spiders may find ur links and give u some credit. Or always leave some information and ask readers to meet you at your website</description>

		<description>I just started posting articles last week in the hopes of getting some of my competitive keywords, like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.postercheckout.com/cat/Movie_Posters/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;movie posters&lt;/a&gt; a little boost in Google&#039;s organic results. So far no noticeable results, but I only started last week, so I&#039;ll wait it out and keep writing. Most articles I write have to do with promoting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.postercheckout.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cheap posters&lt;/a&gt;, I&#039;ll report back when I start seeing some results!</description>

		<description>I am in the beginning stages of writing articles for a few websites of mine. I have yet to see any benefit. I do believe that article writing is one of many ways to promote your website and gain traffic. It is however not the only way.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been using article marketing for the past few months, and I&#039;d say it&#039;s been moderately successful.  At a minimum, I&#039;ve gained some valuable insight into which articles get more reads, more clicks, more published.  I&#039;ve seen some slight change in Google, but the progress is slow.  I&#039;m planning to continue writing to see if the trend of increased traffic continues or if I will only get traffic in small spikes.</description>

		<description>I also read you should make your articles around 400 words, so people don&#039;t get bored and not reach your resource box at the bottom. I had some success with Article marketing like on Ezine, and Squidoo. It is also important to do keyword research to see if what you are writing about will not have too much competition in search engines like Google, or Yahoo.</description>
