    Article marketing will helps you to boost traffic to your site and also build one way backlink for your site. But submitting the same article to more than 10-15 article site may affect your site because of the recent panda update.

Or better still, start a blog, introduce fresh and unique additions and promote it via guest blogging, social networking etc.
    The way I do it, I never post the same on article directory and on my site. I usually write a different article for directories and another one for my site.

    Ezinearticles became a pain in the butt after the panda update.
    I only submitted original unique hand written content to them, and they would reject it and takes months to approve after rejecting for very minor things 5-6 times for the same article.
    They did themselves more harm than good, and wasted my time, so now I no longer use them, as they are a bunch or morons that don't know how to operate a business.

    That's a bit harsh isn't it? I can understand that many businesses that have been hit by the panda have now regrouped and put many new measures in place to make sure that the next panda update does not hurt them as much. It does take a while to get to everything, this is also because they have a lot of people still submitting to them regardless, and with the new rules it generally should take longer as they have new things to look for.

    The way I see it, what you put into article marketing is what you get out of it. It still works, even if the links you get in your resource box is not as hot as they used to be. IM has many new techniques popping up regularly, and with that, other methods are downgraded. That doesn't mean that the old methods aren't good anymore, it just means you have to be more genuine in their use. Keep to the rules laid down by the article submission sites, and you should be ok. Remember though, as a marketer, whether you are working on your own business or someone else's, people are going to be reading what you have to say about everything you do online. To get other clients etc. its always a good idea to make sure that what you say and do online is honest and well done, according to rules etc. In the end, your reputation as a marketer is boosted and helps clients to trust you easily.

    Yes, it works as long as:

    - Your article is unique.
    - it has keyword or SEO article.

    I only use article marketing for backlinks, but most a lot of the time i got few visitors this way also. It still works to get those articles out there. It used to be one of the most popular ways of making money online and it had worked great for sometime.

    I guess the problem wasn't with it not being original content then, more that you wrote shoddy, poorly-written articles that they didn't want. I have over a hundred articles on there and while some are rejected a few times, with changes, they always end up getting approved.

    I also left using ezine for same reason as Seo-melbourne, and even today I can show you poorly written, bad grammar article which you would notlike to read - are getting approved. Just start reading recently approved article and 2-out of 10 you will find like that, where a 5th grade student can spot 10 mistakes.

    And they are rejecting my article for very small mistakes like I forgot one comma some where in 500 words...

    The article looks fine to me. Completely original, informative, good grammar and the author is obviously talking from personal experience.

    What are your criticisms of the article?

    EzineArticles only ever had unique articles on it, and it still got smashed by the Google Panda update.
    Therefore how can you say that the Panda update is all about duplicate content?
    If Panda is all about duplicate content then Ezine wouldn't have been affected the way it was.

    Unique content didn't help EzineArticles - they still got smashed.

    So how are those hundred articles going post-Panda?

    Are you getting more or less traffic?

    Are the links still indexed?

    "Is Article marketing still working?" sorta depends on what you call "working", eh? If your needs are good permanent backlinks with anchor text you wrote to the page you want then YES, 'Article marketing still working', and the links you create today may be the on high ranking pages years from now.

    Create some blogs and post your articles there.
    There are even free blogs you can create on blogger.com (google's blog community) and wordpress.com.
    Create as many as you like and post away and use anchor text links to several pages of the website your marketing for.

    The article directories seem saturated and have only little effect these days.

    As far as I am aware, the Panda updates were only a problem for those people who relied on DIRECT traffic via their articles, that is, people clicking the links in their resource box. Before Panda, their articles got high ranking for search phrases, whereas after the updates, they didn't.

    I do article submission mainly for link juice so my main website gets better rankings, not my articles. I have not monitored it, and since I make backlinks coming from other places, there is no way to tell if I get less SERP power for my articles.

    However, all my links are still indexed, and every new approved article gets indexed almost instantly, like within an hour.

    Absolutely correct and that is why it is still very effective...

    Article marketing is not about getting direct traffic from article directories but it affects your SERP which in turn gives you traffic...
