How effective is Article Marketing in building web traffic?

In todays marketing, article marketing is probably the most effective way to build web traffic. It is because in article directories, it allow you to include a resource box or author biography for every article you submit. You can include your link to your website in it. For example, if you submit 50 articles to articles directories, you will immediately received 50 back links to your website. There a lot of my article directories in the Internet World.

Now, if you will submit, say, 10 articles to a hundred directories, you’ll get 1000 back links. 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!

There is the most common question come into mind, if you submit the same article to many article directories, won’t it violate a search engine’s policy against duplicate content?

The answer is no, why? In this case, you are dealing with high page ranking websites, the search engines would assume that the submitted content is their original work. That's 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 imbued with affiliate links.

You can submit as many articles as to many article directories as you want. 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 Google search engine become quite wary about a website that suddenly experiences a great increase in the number of its back links. It is advised that before you submit another article to the article directories, you have to wait for at least 3 weeks after your last submission before you article is approved for live.

If you have a low ranking web page, then you should use article marketing to rank higher your web page.

These are the factors that contribute to low page views. Doing some necessary editing to correct these problems can dramatically increase the number of times your article would be viewed. Additionally, some article directories really attract a few visitors. But the popular ones like www.ezinearticles.com , www.goarticles.com and www.isnare.com should give you hundreds of readers in a month’s time.
