Does Article Marketing Really Help With SEO?


Going along with the recent post of Peter, Article marketing is probably one of the most discussed topics in my forum with people asking me daily whether or not it really helps with SEO.. People are divided between 3 categories when it comes to talk about article marketing on internet:

  1. People who love article marketing.
  2. People who hate article marketing.
  3. People who don’t know about article marketing.

This article is for the people in the 3rd group, namely the ones who have no experience with article marketing and are wondering what its worth.

What is Article Marketing?

Article marketing is an online strategy that consist of you writing a quality article (in theory), and making it available for other people to use and republish on their site. Of course, since all labors require compensation, you’ll be rewarded for your generosity with a one way backlink towards your site, as well as a short biography of yourself. Here are the traditional steps taken:

  1. Write an article.
  2. Submit it to an Article Directory.
  3. Wait for your article to be reviewed and approved.
  4. Once your article is approved, it will be made available to visitors of the Article Directory.
  5. People download your article.
  6. People publish your article on their site.
  7. You get visitors and backlinks from all the sites that re-published your article.

Your personal involvement pretty much stops at step #2, after that you can just sit back and relax, everything else is automated and doesn’t require your participation. Depending of the article directory you submit your piece to, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few months to get your article reviewed and approved. Also, keep in mind that all articles submitted are not automatically approved, so take the time to write properly.

Why You Should Love Article Marketing?

When it comes to SEO, article marketing offers an incredible feature, and that’s to build a potentially unlimited and constant flow of one way backlinks towards your site. The leverage on article marketing is huge as one person only needs to write an article once, submit it to a specialized directory where more and more people will then re-publish it giving you more and more one way backlinks without you having anything to do for it. Each of the articles have submitted in the past is being reused 300 times in average at least. That means for each article I wrote, I got over 300 one way backlinks. Another interesting aspect of those links from a SEO stand is the fact that they come from diverse domains, which is a great thing, and that they don’t appear all at once, but rather over time as all the people don’t publish your article at the same time. It’s a onetime effort, and a lifetime one way link building machine.

Why You Should Hate Article Marketing?

There’s a sound difference between theory and reality. Most of the articles in those article directories are of very low quality and some really limit spam junk. This having for resulting effect that you are very unlikely to ever get your article noticed further than the article directory itself. If spending so much effort for that, you are better of publishing on your own site instead. Even if your article get picked up, more often than not, it will be by automated scrapping software, and your article will be published on a rubbish site where no one will see it. Not only no one will see your article and you won’t get traffic from it, the pages where your article will be published are most likely to be in the supplementary index, if indexed at all. In SEO term, this means that the backlinks you get from there are worthless. At worst, you’ll get dishonest publisher who won’t give you credit at all, and steal your work to make it theirs. Article marketing ends up being a huge waste of your time, resources and talent. If you want quality backlinks, there are many other ways to do so.

In Conclusion

The truth is that no one side is more right than the other. I personally like article marketing as it helps in many other ways beyond SEO, such as branding to me. I’ve got thousands of visitors coming from those republished articles to my site, and in some instances was even lucky enough to get my articles in pages on the primary index and get people commenting on them, building valuable SEO backlinks and reputation for myself. On the other hand, I’ve also experienced people trying to steal my content, and honestly, majority of the backlinks I’ve got don’t bring any or much link juice. If you really plan to get a high PageRank, I don’t feel that article marketing is the way to go for you. On the other hand, if you plan to increase your exposure, or do increased of deep linking on your site, I would strongly recommend you to include Article Marketing as part of your SEO campaign.

    Interesting post. I have started a few niche sites lately and one fo them, which I started a month before the latest PR update went straight to a PR3. Almost exclusively from article marketing. No paid services, just manual submissions of about 50 articles to 5 or 6 sites.

    The articles were OK but nothing great. Each one takes about 10 minutes to write. Another 2 sites jumped straight to PR2 with similar techniques although not quite as intense. Along with hubs and things like infobarrel and of course a few good quality in post one way backlinks it is surprising what you can achieve.

    If you have no other way to get backlinks then I would suggest to anyone getting started that they should use article marketing to its full potential.

    I hope this inspires some new people who are interested in making money online.

    p.s Peter your site is up the creek. All your sidebar is below this post as I am typing. Keep up the good work dude. You have me a lot along the way.

    Hmm, very interesting indeed.

    It seems to me that with article marketing its trying to figure out if the time spent writing and publishing the articles is worth the results.

    I'm a pretty slow writer myself, so it seems as though the effort it would take to get articles written and published might not be worth the small amounts of traffic it might bring.

    I wonder if the topic makes a difference too? I was reading the other day about what subjects are most popular on sites like Digg and wonder if anyone knows what's the best topics on article sites?

    What you have to realize here, is the fact that you only need to write and submit your article once, after that, it will keep working for you for the rest of your life!

    Hi Ben,

    I couldn't agree more with you, one time effort, lifetime reward… you can't beat this kind of ROI.

    Even if 1% of the backlinks you get are worth something, article marketing brings me an additional 1-2,000 backlinks per month. With that ratio, I would still get 1-200 good links, so to me it's worth my time.

  15. Make Money Online Says:

    Again, I agree with you Nicolas! Article marketing is really a great way for us to gain more exposure and strong one-way link. Recently I was writing articles and submitting to EzineArticles, but I wrote for another of my blog, I did get tons of pageviews to my blog. I do hope that I would get sales over there too. I'll update you my result later on. :D

    Personally, I'm a fan of article marketing. It's easy to build backlinks to any page you want as well as promote a specific product or service. The problem I think many face is having the time to write the articles. If you can afford to do so, outsource the work to someone else. That will free up your time for other things, like building links elsewhere.

    Hi Deneil,

    You still can post them on your site too if you want, but just think differently when you are doing article marketing, just like when I write a guest post on Peter's blog, I could have this post on my site too.

    But the purpose of this guest post or the articles I write and submit to article directories is different.

    The posts on your site entertain your readers, while the posts outside your site bring you more readers.

    Reply

  25. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    Actually Alan, it works just fine even if you don't change a thing… people are overly talking about duplicate content, but the only place where it really matters and affect you in when you have duplicate content on your site.

    If similar content on different sites was really a problem, you wouldn't see so many site talking about the same news or PR that you see everywhere, in addition I like to see my article on my blog in top of the SERPs along with the listings of that same article in other directories or site.

    I don't really care which site my article is on, be it mine or someone else, in the end most of the people will still associate the work to me and come back to my site.

    I mean when you got 8 or the top 10 results on Google showing a snippet with your name and work (even if they are different sites) it sure does help to convince people that this guy where you see his name repeated over and over must know something…

  26. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    If you are writing high quality articles that are actually useful and informative to readers then article marketing will work wonders for you because lots of people will want to re-publish your articles. However, if you are like most people and just write the bare minimum to get it accepted into an article directory then you won't see much benefit. It's all about putting in the extra time and effort to write awesome articles.

    @Nicolas: I am now habituated to seeing your guest posts on many blogs I visit ;-)

    I will correct you here. There are only two type of people.

    1 People who love article marketing.
    2 People who don’t know about article marketing.

    Your expectations from articles should be limited. With good content, articles themselves can rank well and send traffic. Of course people will steal your content and not give you a backlink but they will do so even for your blog posts.

    Article marketing is a great way to exploit long-tail keywords to your advantage.

    Article marketing is an effective way of directing targeted traffic to your website and a way of getting links to your website from the article directories and other websites and blogs. You get links to your site by writing articles and submitting them to article directories. You get even more links when webmasters publish your article complete with author's resource box on their site.

  32. Alan Mater Says:

    Hi Nicolas,

    The only reason I said about re-writing some of it is that way your blog post could rank for different keywords or not have to compete so much with the articles in directories. If you don't re-write, I would suggest first posting to your blog, then wait for Google to index it before submitting to directories. Would you recommend that as well?

    Reply

  33. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    Hi Mikael,

    I'm moderately a fan of it personally. I like them because they make submission much easier, and sometime with autosubmission option really can be a time saver.

    Now, on the other hand, the articles are hardly ever submitted in the appropriate category and it can be quite troublesome to correct this. And unless your articles are really submitted in the proper category, you face the risk of not being approved or having very few download of your article.

    Nonetheless, they are definitely useful to some extend.

  34. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    Hi Alan,

    You have a valid point too, in the end it all depends of your strategy. If you don't mind having a directory with your post ranking (possibly) higher than your post on your blog, then there's no problem about it (anyway this situation can easily be corrected with a few good backlinks).

    The more I have options to list my work on the first pages of results be it from my blog, articles, or videos, I'll take it ^_^

  35. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    Hi Trent,

    Totally agree with you on that, this is why I always recommend people to write good quality articles instead of short spammy ones.

    Your article should be at least 400 words. This is the requirement for many. Very few require 500 words. EZA requires 250, I believe. Each article directory is different, but for the most part you'll be safe with 400 words or more.

  72. Nicolas Prudhon Says:

    In addition, most of the article directories allow you to use 2-3 different links in your signature, which then should be used for deep linking; giving you an opportunity to build backlink towards pages that usually don't get any just so that you can keep them listed in the search engines.

    I personally don't like Article Marketing much – or shall I say I don't enjoy doing it? Simply because I struggle with writing in general, so an article can take me a couple of hours (or longer) to write and that's just not good enough. Also, finding good topics to write about takes a lot of research time. Mind you, Article Marketing can really boost your SERP's, so it is definitely worth doing… but for me maybe outsourcing is the way to go.

    First, don't submit your articles to directories that don't have some sort of Google juice or it will be a waste of your time. Directories like ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com are a good place to start.

    There are many article submission directories out there, and article directory submissions are a very effective technique.

    Article marketing, which is also called bum marketing in the online world, is a great way to drive traffic to your site and get backlinks, which are very important as well. Some people think that simply throwing up a random article onto an article directory will do them good, but there are specific things that you need to do with your articles in order to make them profitable.

    I wrote an article for one of my websites about 3 or 4 years ago and submitted it to only one article directory. Many others published my article on their websites and each month I am still receiving traffic as a result. It was well worth the 20 minutes it took me to write it.

    Article marketing is probably the best link building technique because you control the links – where the link will be placed, the keywords used in the anchor text, and the links are permanent.

    That means when you do article marketing, submit only to QUALITY article directories — otherwise you will just be wasting time because you won't see any positive results. Look only for those article directories that actually review submissions, not accept every single articles including the crappiest ones.

    I'm quite selfish when it comes to content. If I've created it, I prefer to publish it on my site under my name, not by 'giving' content to a third party.

    Just my take on it.

    Cheers,
    Matt

    I used to make a lot of articles but i got tired of them.  Especially when they reject my posts.  Ezine is the worst accepting articles.

    Article marketing takes lots of time. Besides, if you submit one and the same article to different directories – the backlinks are almost worthless.. Google considers those articles to be not unique ones, and it pays less attention to them… And changing the article to submit to another directory takes lots of time…
