Article Marketing - Your Answers To Questions On Article
                       Marketing
Article marketing is probably the most effective list
  building and link building strategy in existence. Article
 directories allow you to include a resource box for every
article you will submit. Inside this resource box, you could
   include a link to your website and specifically to your
newsletter subscription form. If you submit just one article
 to 100 article directories, you'd immediately receive 100
 back links to your website. There are thousands of article
                directories on the 'net today!
Now, let’s say you submit, for example, 5 articles
 to a hundred directories, you'll get 500 back links easily!
The best part about this strategy is that quite a number of
   article directories have high page ranks. We're talking
about PR4, PR5, and on occasion, PR7 websites! Having a
  link to your own website in a website which has a high
    page rank would give a significant boost to your own
                pages' search engine standing!
All seems terrific with article marketing, but as with
everything else, there are growing concerns as to its real
                          value.
Let's take a look at five of the most common questions
       which are asked about article marketing...
If I submit the same article to many article directories,
won't it violate a search engine's policy against duplicate
                         content?
No, it won't. Since we're dealing with high ranking
    websites, the search engines would assume that the
submitted content is their original work. This is the reason
 why a lot of article directories are pretty confident about
the articles they display. The problem that they encounter,
  really, is with regards to the credibility of their services.
They don't want to be known as a repository of junk
content, that's why they have outlawed the posting of PLR
      articles as well as articles full of affiliate links.
If you always submit quality, informative content that
readers are looking for, you’ll never have a cause
                       for concern.
Does this mean that I could submit articles which I have
         already posted in my own web pages?
You need to take care here. The search engines will
      assume that the higher ranking websites are the
   originators of the content, your web pages would be
distinguished as duplicates, and this could possibly lead to
the de-indexing of your website or, at least, that particular
      article page. You wouldn't want this to happen.
========SIDEBAR========
Affiliate, Article and Internet Marketing in general isn't as
  easy as many would have us believe. I fully understand
  (through my own experiences) that it is a lot easier said
than done. However, you are here, right now, because you
     have a desire to improve your business, grow your
 business, and be more successful. These articles are here
 with the sole intention of helping you to make the whole
                     process a lot easier.
======END SIDEBAR======
Can I submit as many articles as possible to as many article
                 directories as possible?
Yes, you could! In fact, this is very much advised, to build
up your link popularity and secure for your website a great
                          page rank.
However, please bear in mind that search engines, and
Google in particular, become quite wary about a website
that suddenly experiences a great increase in the number
  of its back links. It is advised that from the outset, you
  decide how many articles you can submit and at what
   intervals, then stick to it. Consistency is the key here.
Does article marketing really work?
Yes, definitely, article marketing does work! If your
article's page views remain in low levels, ask yourself
Is your article title compelling or intriguing enough to
            want to read the whole article?
Is the actual content of your article interesting enough?
            Does it cater to a wide audience?
Is your article informative enough to consider
               recommendation?
Is your article readable enough to give your audience an
easy time in digesting the information you want to share?
These are the factors that contribute to low page views.
 Doing some necessary editing to correct these problems
will dramatically increase the number of times your article
                       will be viewed.
Additionally, some article directories really attract a few
         visitors only. But the popular ones like
                 www.ezinearticles.com
   , www.goarticles.com, www.articledashboard and
www.isnare.com should give you hundreds of readers in a
                      month's time.
How sure can I be that my article and resource box will be
kept intact by people who will use it in their own websites
                        or Ezines?
Unfortunately, you can never be sure. This is why you have
   to run your own check from time to time. Search for
  unique phrases in your article, and click on the results.
Determine if the webmaster honored your resource box. If
   he or she did not, you could ask them to include the
resource box, or you could file a complaint with the article
directory so that they themselves could act on the matter.
       As always, Persistence and Vigilance are the k
