      I agree that article marketing is a lot of work. But once it is set, your articles make you money forever.

    Look, you just made $3000 using article marketing. Isn't that really "dead" because "guru"s normally talk about making millions most of the years?

    We'll no doubt see many of these types of threads proclaiming this or that is dead in the coming year. Perhaps we should just let them rant and rave, and let them talk themselves into believing whatever it is they want to believe, while the rest of us quietly work away in the background and succeed with the very method(s) that they proclaim are dead.

      sneaky!,...... but I like it.

      There are times when we must all take a step back and see what sort of results out traffic sources are bringing us.

      There is no top traffic source and people should not be soley relying on articles to bring traffic to their squeeze page or site. Articles should just be used as another arsenal of tools in the shed.

      But even now, in 2011 you write a good article.... it can bring in tremendous links and results for many months to come. YES! even now! It is all about quality on the internet as it always has been. Quality brings results...not junk.

      But how many can say we can write the ultamate article. It is an art unto itself!

        This is so true. I think a lot of it boils down to people not being able to focus on a method consistently, and giving up too quickly when success could be just around the corner.

        There simply isn't any magic pushbutton system out there; it requires work, dedication and effort to get good at anything - so why should internet marketing be different? Why should people think they're entitled to success in IM without working for it?

        I get the feeling that for some people, they already believe deep down that internet marketing is a scam and are unconsciously expecting to fail at it, and this translates into either a lack of action, or unfocused action that doesn't get them anywhere fast.

          Totally correct.

          I failed many times till i actually made it. i thought articles were a total waist of time, till I found someone with over 5k articles on EA alone. I was wowed, and was not suprised to see they had no 9-5 job.

          I have many articles on EA and add more each and every week. It is a lot of testing and feeling like your failing, but if you perservere, you can make to your goals in the end.

          I spent weeks and weeks and weeks just testing, and finally i came up with a strategy taht was making money. Then it was just a matter of upscaling my efforts. Now while i do not have 5k articles on ezine, I do have some pretty good quality ones, that bring in traffic without me being at my screen. They add to my list, and bring me sales too.

          That is the true raw power of article marketing. YOu can either make it work for you...or feel like it is stupid and doesnt work and complain in the mean time. That never got anyone, anywhere.

          Just test and test until you see results. But isnt that what marketing is all about anyway? Lots of testing, tweaking and conversions!

    I quit getting upset about those threads several years ago.

    The funny thing is that I have noticed people saying article marketing is dead, and using articles to tell that story... Oh the irony!!!

    See the thing is that the people making these claims are people who are already failures...

    But it is never easy to look into the mirror, when looking to hang the blame on something...

    So rather than look in the mirror, people who fail begin looking for scapegoats...

    And whatever type of marketing they had tried for at least 30 minutes will seem the best scapegoat to blame, because those marketing methods are the first thing to jump to mind, when people realize they are the failures that they are.

    LOL

    Don't get mad at me if you think "**** Marketing Is Dead". You failed due to your own lack of will to persevere until you found success.

    When I see those "**** Marketing Is Dead" threads, I want to pop into the thread early and tell the story I am telling here. But then if I did, more people would call me a troll than what call me that now.

    The truth hurts, I know... But calling me a troll will not lesson your responsibility and contribution to your own failure...

    Is this post Flame Bait? I hope so... LOL

    **** Marketing is NOT dead... Tons of people are making tons of money using those very marketing methods that some people want us to believe are dead.

    The only thing dead here is your willingness to take responsibility for your own actions or lack of action.



    Celeste, if those folks wanna go sulk about how **** Marketing cheated them, let them go cry in the corner like the little babies that they are.

    If a few other folks want to believe the cry babies, then chances are that those people were too weak-willed to succeed anyway...

    That will leave two groups of people behind: 1) those who have good success using **** Marketing now; and 2) those who will learn what they need to know about **** Marketing to be successful in the future...

    And in the end, the cry babies who go home to pout will cut our competition in half when they leave, which will allow those who are dedicated to success compete with real businesses, instead of pretend businesses.

    Not only that article marketing is not dead but I can not see it dying on the next 30 years of not more than that.

    However, one thing IS CHANGING already right now and by the time pass it will become more and more tangible: quality matters! the more the time pass the better search engines algorithms handles spam forms such as auto content / spun articles / auto blogs - these type of content will be aggressively filtered by google and other search engines, till people realize that they are actually wasting their time with this

      I agree completely...

      Consider this...

      What are blog posts? Articles maybe?

      What are news stories? Some call them news articles...

      What are forum posts? For some of us, they might turn into draft one of a future article...

      What are normal web pages? Articles again perhaps?

      The only difference between the articles defined above and article marketing is the article syndication element.

      And they still syndicate news...

      Article marketing is neither dead, nor on its death bed...

      Since the beginning of time, people have read articles or books in a number of formats...

      What has changed?

      Some people want us to believe that articles are dead... :p

      Wow congrats to you.

      I am now outsourcing about 100 - 120 a week. Yes! It is fun, and for the price well worth it.

      I use to do 10 -20 a week for ok results. You think you are seeing good results with this amount, well I urge you to double or triple your efforts and see what happens

      Again I bring you back to quality. Pay for a good writer, for me this took time. But when I found him, the turnaround time is quick and the work is well above standard.

    Whatever, most people these days go straight to google when they have an inquiry of any kind. Advice, reviews, how-to guides etc.

    And this information most often appears in some sort of article format. It's still a win-win so I doubt anything will change anytime soon aside from attempts to filter out poor content (which I support.)

    Some people might think that video is taking over, but then television has not seen the demise of radio.

    I think putting up videos of a power point presentation is a bit of a con in the same way as showing slides of text is said to be a presentation. Video might be a different media but it does not replace text based systems.

    There will always be a need for articles and the secret to IM using articles is to know how to write good articles and where to promote them.

    Thats almost like saying video marketing is dead really. For you can get some buyers from simply submitting videos. Where you can get buyers from those who are not lazy and actually want to read about it and or do research on the topics. So I agree with you fully there is way to much mis informed BS going around about article marketing. One of the major ones is the duplicate content scare everyone is in.

    Its always can I post my article to the article directories after it is posted on my site. Will my site be penalized if I post my content else where. It all boils down to that BS duplicate content myth everyone so loves to make the reason why nothing will work.

    Actually article marketing has already died numerous deaths but miraculously has had just as many resurrections. Like any marketing method there are core elements to article marketing that simply will not dissappear from the heart of an article marketing campaign.

    Sure, there will be some erosion of sorts but that is to be expected which is why elite article marketers continue to focus on the basics while simultaneously adding additional tweaks here and there in order to leverage their articles to their maximum capability.

    As long as people have a thirst for information/content and a way to access it online an article marketer has an audience.

    As long as an article marketer has an audience they have built a relationship with they have a targeted group to promote their business too using their marketing method of choice which deals with articles.

    I believe article marketing will trend towards article syndication as a primary focus in the coming months, years...etc

    Create quality content and get it in front of folks and you will never lack for traffic or sales.

      Absolutely! As a matter of fact, most of the web content is WRITTEN. So how can article marketing be dead?!

      Yes, you have to generate a number of articles to see any specific result. But needless to say, it works.

      You have to understand whether the return that you get from article marketing is worth it or not. That's the question.

      Not that article marketing is dead!

    Who cares what other people define as 'dead'? The truth is that none of us can know what is about o happen (who could know a few years ago that Facebook would show up and create a whole new way of e-marketing?).
    Strong proven methods rarely 'die'. They might change when other things come and take part of their place, but completely disappear? I doubt it.

      Believe it or not, I've pretty much stopped writing articles.

      Why?

      Well, I look at the 3,000 plus I already have out there and the opt ins
      they're bringing me every single day like clock work and I say to myself...

      "Hmmm. maybe I don't need to write anymore. Maybe all that writing I did
      all these years did pay off. Maybe I can take it easy now."

      You're partially right. Article writing is dead...for me anyway.

      The marketing part, however, will live on and on long after I am dead.

      Bill...loved your post.

      Hope you get roasted. :p

        Steven,
        Great point - I've personally taken months off from writing in order to focus on other activities so in a sense article marketing did die for me for that time period.

        Ironically enough, my traffic and generated income did not dwindle and in some cases increased due on large part to the articles already submitted, published and in syndication.

        That's one of the huge benefits I love about creating content to attract visitors to your sites. It never goes away and continues to do its job years later. Try that with PPC where if you stop paying the traffic stops arriving.

        I'll gladly work hard now to get the well pumping in order to enjoy the water it brings forth for years to come.

        Respectfully,
        Tim

        Ha ha,

        I have worked my ass off in my main niche to get 1000+ article on EA.

        I will be honest that brings my many optins everyday, without me even being there at the screen. It is a good feeling....but.....

        then I see your post :p:p:p:p:p over 3000 articles. LOL Nice, you are a one work horse steve man. Congrats man.

        Cant wait till I am up to 3000 EA articles.

        But I just realised that all this talk of having at least over 1000 articles on EA means they still do make a different, and making you steven a living too. Feels good to flip the birdie to all those article haters. They will be back here I promise.

    wouldnt use article marketing as a main source of income, but definately in conjunction with other site and seo promotion!

    OR maybe just the death of marketers who EXCLUSIVELY rely on it and expect good things to happen on their little island.

    The prediction of article marketing's demise seems to be an annual event.

    I guess it's that time of year again . . .

      So true, I have one article that outpulls and gets 5 times the URL clicks.

      Why? I spent careful time to write and structure this article. The info is good and the SEO is structured in a way that is LSI rich without being too spammy.

      I spent along time to write this, but it sure has paid off.

    I don't think article marketing will ever "die." However, I do think Google, and other search engines, will eventually de-value sites like ezinearticles, hubpages, etc. Not to the point of them being completely worthless. But just enough to make things challenging.

    Google has started to make noise about "content farms." And let's face it. These sites are glorified content farms. Just browse around for a few minutes and you'll find plenty of awful hubs, articles, etc, with high rankings in Google. This will stop eventually. Either the sites themselves will become much more strict on what they allow, or Google will begin to lower their rankings.

    There are people that base their entire online earnings on article writing. What's going to happen to them once Google brings the hammer down?

    I'd much prefer to register a keyword rich $2 .info domain and get it ranked, as opposed to putting all of my time and effort into creating content for another site. Never knowing if my content will get removed, devalued by Google, etc.

    I consistently get traffic to my site with "ever green" topics. ... Just cuz it's old hat to me doesn't mean it's " old hat" to everyone. A well written article should work forever.

    article marketing will never die, you just have to learn more tricks to keep your content flowing and linking back to your blog, site or what ever it is you are promoting... Outsource 20 articles a day plus write 10 articles a day and get them submitted for 30 days and tell me if you think article marketing will die j.m.o
