    Is Article marketing still working?

    Hey,
    What do you think of article marketing? Is it still active and working?
    I mean there are people who writes article through software which only spuns the articles and escapes the copyscape, this can't be unique.
    what do you think, will article directories do look close to this matter, after this becomes worst?

    It's still an active and working method and obviously spinning content is going to get you on ezine. You'll find the people publishing spun content are more in it for link building and simply don't have about their articles quality.

    Article Marketing still works and helps to improve the ranking. But it should be used only with high quality content and make sure not to involve in content farm. Its better to go for niche articles.

    I won’t quite encourage you on this idea. Post the panda update, Google considers the one that got indexed first as ‘original’ and labels the rest as duplicate. I would instead suggest that you publish the article on your own website and promote it via social bookmarking websites. Or better still, start a blog, introduce fresh and unique additions and promote it via guest blogging, social networking etc.

    Yes, I think so.
    Articles should be submitted to well established article directories. In exchange for the content, the author is allowed to add two or three text links at the end of each article.

    Ezine articles reported a huge drop in traffic after the Feb Google update.
    So based on this fact alone you would have to say article marketing does not work as well as it did last year.

    What about article submission for link building?
    Have the Google updates devalued the links from articles?

    Apart from not posting PLR, which EzineArticles NEVER allowed anyway, how do you "do it well" when it comes to article marketing?

    Content is still KING! The printed word makes the web go 'round and is still alive strong. This goes for article marketing, web content, etc. Yes, there may be other forms of marketing on the horizon but the written word still reigns supreme. Just make sure that you write good keyword-focused content with nice keyword density , and search engine spiders will still Gobble it up.

    Well, there is no doubt about article marketing, it helps a lot for both, for link building and for getting visitors to your site and they are helpful in getting visitors from search engines directly as well..

    Well Posting PLR was never good and will never be good in future as well. There are so many ways to Article marketing that most people either fall in wrong way or choose the costly way to do it. Either way you will loose as first will not give you result and second will give you result but very slow and at very high cost...

    Contact me if you need free consultancy.. Do not forget to mention your site and desired ranking keywords

    Article marketing would still work, but it won't get you the results like it would a few years ago. You'd have to do a LOT of article writing and be careful where you submit your articles.

    Up until about a year ago you would find a lot of article sites when searching for something specific on google's first page. Nowadays you hardly ever see an article site in the first few pages. Because of all the duplicate content everywhere I think the search engines don't care so much about article websites anymore. On top of that, it looks like the only people visiting those article sites are internet marketers, so it would be hard to find your prospects there.

    Ezinearticles was (and still is) practically the only article directory that required unique content, and it got smashed by the Google Panda update.

    So how exactly is writing unique articles and submitting to article directories still working?

    Well, it is good for both for getting traffic and getting back links.. some affiliate marketers use article submission for selling their affiliate products while some webmasters use for link building..
