Article Marketing Worthless?

By admin | July 16, 2007

Article Marketing is a poor way to attract traffic to your website for a number of reasons.

When you first begin submitting articles you probably aren’t changing the submission from your original, making it so the article posted on your website is no longer unique content.  Search Engines will see that the article has been passed around and your site will lose points because of the mistake.

Secondly, the amount of time it takes to pursue Article Marketing relative to the amount of traffic it will send your is not worth your time.  Article Marketing sends your tiny trickles of traffic at best and often times nothing at all.

Lastly, it is a poor use of time as an effort to grow your site.  Spend time building links or writing more unique content.  Article Marketing does not offer a good return on your time or your effort.

    I would have to disagree… if you do your keyword research right, you can attract tons of traffic to your website with article marketing.

    I have an article that is currently bringing me in 300 to 400 unique hits a day to one of my niche websites which is in turn earning me on average $150 a day.

    Once you have syndicated hundreds of articles, the traffic and the commissions just keep flowing in…
