Article Marketing has been an effective tool for driving visitors to our websites for all of the 5 years that I have been pursuing my internet marketing activities. But things are changing now, thanks to the mighty Google, and lots of folk are now saying that Article Marketing is dead. So with this article we will discover whether that’s true, does it work or not?

Well yes it does still work providing you go about it the right way, and get rid of all those bad habits you picked up, when times were good, before the Google clampdown.

If all you were doing was ‘spinning and ‘blasting’ shoddy articles to shoddy article directories then this tactic is no where near as effective as it was before! You can keep doing this if you want but you will have to do a lot more of it to compete with people like me who really do have an Article Marketing strategy that works!

So is Article Marketing and having an article marketing strategy still worth the effort for web masters wanting more traffic to their sites. Well to be honest that will depend on what your overall marketing strategy is! If you are planning on implement SEO, search engine optimization, as your primary marketing strategy, then, you most certainly do need to have your article marketing strategy in place.

And the reason you must do this is because you need to have plenty of links pointing to your main site, or money site, then you need to apply SEO techniques to get back links to those links. But one thing to bear in mind is what I said above, if all your back links are from crappy sites to start with they will still be of little value when you back link them.

I cannot stress enough the value of having decent links back to your site, you really do need hundreds of crappy links to have the same impact as one link from a decent article directory.

I, like quite a lot of folk have used mass article submitters in the past, but in my opinion they are a complete waste of time, what few links you do end up with are just about useless as far as Google is concerned. At the end of the day, the person using a quality article submission service will beat the folk looking for easy shortcuts.

So We Can’t Use Automation Then!

Not at all I am all in favor of automation and use the services of Submit Your Articles to submit my articles to quality sites and blogs. They are one of the few submitters that Ezine Articles actually allows submissions from, and that is because all their submitted content is manually approved by them first.

Certainly spin your articles before distribution of them to make sure they are all unique, and more valuable to the search engines. But for goodness sake do take the time to spin them manually and take some time over it. There is no such thing as a ‘one click and your articles are spun’. There may be, but they won’t read right at all.

Some folk are going to disagree with what I’ve said here, and I don’t really care, but this is how I use my article marketing strategy, and it does seem to be working as part of my overall SEO marketing plan

It doesn’t matter what type of web business you have or what kind of product or service your promoting or selling you’ll find that marketing and advertising this business is much more difficult than advertising an off line business. When you break it down you will realize that the world of online business is much bigger than a real world business. To better describe this you will need to realize that there are actually hundreds of billions of Internet pages on the Internet and most of them are selling something. If you really need to get your site noticed you have advertise your website, or else you’re going to get no visitors.

In this article we intend to be going over some ways that you can market your website. There are generally both free as well as paid approaches to marketing and we will show you both. First off, paid advertising is usually better than free advertising and marketing and this is something you might want to keep in mind. I do not want you to misunderstand me, free methods can be great if you do them right but paid advertising will usually provide better results.

One of the 1st types of advertising and marketing you should explore is e-zine advertising. E-zines otherwise referred to as electronic magazines, are precisely what they sound like, they are magazines that are delivered electronically in peoples emails and the owners are often looking for paid advertisers. Once you locate a e-zine that directly relates to your specialized niche you just email the owner to find out about advertising options he has for his e-zine subscribers. The price you will end up paying will generally depend on the number of members the e-zine has. I am certain that you can recognize that reaching hundreds of thousands of people is going to cost more than reaching a couple of thousand.

Your next way to start to promote your site is by using a pay per click website. Having said that if you don’t know what your doing you might end up losing big money on this type of promotion. So it is suggested you find a e-book or program on the Internet that can show you how to set up your promotions so you will not be wasting your money. There are 100s maybe even thousands of people who have lost their shirts by jumping into pay per click without knowing what they were doing. If you want to become successful in pay per click, be sure you do your research and find out every thing you are able to before you begin.

And finally for a mostly free approach to advertising, you should start building your own personal email list aimed at the interest of your niche. You can do this by simply offering the visitors to your website a free newsletter that centers around your specialized niche. Your list is essential as you will be able to market to them repeatedly by just sending out e-mail communications reminding them about your offer. You may even end up marketing some affiliate programs to your list as a way to bring in even more money from your website.
