Article Marketing Is Still Effective

Article Marketing Is Still Effective
By Sean Mize

Article marketing has been around for a few years. First, article marketing was a great way to gain content to ones site soliciting article writers for their content. Next, article marketing became popular by helping to create backlinks to web sites. And now, article marketing is just becoming popular as a way to drive direct traffic to a web site.

Why the big shift? I think that the biggest shift lately has been that of the search engines repeatedly knocking out duplicate content, when that same content is submitted to 100s of article directories, and filtering out duplicate content from Adsense sites, and that naturally allows strong, legitimate sites with article content to have their pages read more often. And that creates traffic for the article writer.

Article marketing in 2007 and beyond, I think, will focus on direct traffic to your web site from the traffic received by the article directories themselves. I think it will become a good action to write content specifically for the purpose of submitting to one web site, the #1 article directory, whichever that may be during a particular time frame, and gaining high search engine rank for the article itself, rather than focusing on getting your own web site high traffic levels directly from the search engines.

People are still making money online, it is still easy to make a full time income online, and in the year 2007 I think that article marketing will remain one of the easiest ways to get to a full time income online, starting from scratch.
