Search:

it's the way you do it that gets you the links.

Yep. What you're describing is something I agree with. However when people mention the phrase article marketing they mean writing for article...

When I posted the link to the search results (I probably should have made an image), almost all of the links on page 1 were verbatim copies of the LA Times article.

David I think what happens is...

Did you click through on the results. They're showing a lot of content with the same title, but not with the same article. Only the first 2 links point to the same version of the article by Noam Levy...

People still talking about article marketing, but I don't think there's much if any value for it in terms of what it used to be, uploading articles to ezine, etc.

Whether content is duplicated or...

I should have known. :)

Bill it's not really effective for anything any more. Once upon a time you wrote an article and submitted it to ezine or similar. If the article was halfway decent lots of people would download it...

Many people also tend to forget about the offline aspect of marketing your website. Make sure that you site is mention clearly in all offline advertising and business cards.

Good point. I think...

SEO is a component of your marketing plan not the focal point

Very, very, true and something so many people skip over. SEO is part of an overall marketing plan. It can be a very effective part,...

Great content is absolutely the foundation for getting links. I think you still need to give your content a push so it gets noticed by some people. Where and how you push it is the question and...

Yeah don't worry too much about the more expensive directories like Yahoo. There are some that are worth being listed in under $100 if you're interested, but if it means anything I've never paid to...

Jo Ellen I'd stay away from the directories requiring you to pay. There are a handful of directories where it might be worth paying to join, like the Yahoo directory ($300 a year), but most aren't...
