I must admit article marketing is still a great way today to get traffic. Once I have had my articles written I submit them to ezinearticle and once they have been accepted by ezinearticle, I submit them to seolink vine and it slowly builds backlinks to my site and it works great for me. Good old bum marketing after all these years it's still going strong! Hi

Great post. I must admit article marketing is still a great way today to get traffic.

I'm definintely getting traffic from the links in the articles. Not only is this great, but it assures me that there are people interested in what I'm blogging about. This is always encouraging.

No question you can send traffic, but it is not clear that it will convert. I am trying this now as part of the AAS tutorial series (as you know) -- and I will publish all of the results.

THats a quick reply :) I agree ezinearticles would likely beat me...hmm... you see I heard about this other strategy, where you put your article on your blog first, get it indexed, and then put it on ezinearticles and others. You are the author, so its ok (no duplicate content issues..). This way, maybe your site still gets the better of ezinearticels in google? Anyway, about to buy AAS from ya. Should be fun. Oh also, do you generally have good success using article marketing with CPA offers? email me if easier. Thanks Jan Hey Mark.

Some people say you should try to get all 10 slots on the 1st page. Others say that if you find a KW that you can win with your site, you should not compete there with EZA because EZA will beat you, and a lot of that traffic will leak to adsense instead of the link in the resource box. What is needed to prove this is testing....which I have not done. Thanks, Mark Hey Jan — there are 2 schools of thought on this. Some people say you should try to get all 10 slots on the 1st page.

I've personally been working on following Josh' strategy he outlines in his ebook for submission to article directories. I still get concerned with the issues of duplicate content but hope I'm creating a good balance when doing my submissions. More recently I've been experimenting by submitting articles I feel are stronger more well written, to fewer yet stronger article directories(i.e. ezine) and then submitting weaker content to a larger number of directories to help create a larger number of backlinks... then back and forth depending on the content. I maybe just maybe just making things more complicated than it needs to be? (This is essentially Josh's method and maybe giving too much away from josh's ebook - you would'nt hurt my feelings if you didnt publish this comment) There are some articles you really want to call your own and want that content to ONLY be on your site.. but then at the same time you want to get the word out about those articles... its a catch 22 I suppose. Also thanks to both you and Josh on clearing up the difference between bum marketing and article marketing. I was one who used both terms interchangeably. Mark,

Have you thought about doing a training program on building article directories? How many months revenue were you able to get from selling your article directories? Did you put extra links to the websites you wanted while you ran them? Thanks Josh,
