Article marketing

I"ll check them out. Thanks alexa

Yes.

And you should.

"Spinning" is without value. It can damage your business, but it can't help you. Everyone who actually makes a living from article marketing (rather than from supplying spinning software or services) says the same things about spinning. And there are reasons for that.

The whole thing is based on a fallacy, and a misunderstanding about what "duplicate content" and "syndicated content" mean and signify.

The value of a backlink doesn't depend on whether the content to which it's attached is "unique" or "previously published": it depends on many other things, but that isn't one of them, and Google says so openly.

For people open-minded enough to read them, the following six items explain much more, at greater length and in greater detail.

• this post explains the benefits of spinning
• the first half (or so) of this thread contains a good discussion of what you can gain from spinning articles
• the advice on this subject given by so many people throughout most of this thread has been really helpful to many people here
• on the meaning and significance of "duplicate content", in this context, this little post from expert article marketer Anne Pottinger includes direct quotations from Google's WebMaster Central Blog on the subject (not easy to find a more authoritative source than that!)
• this little article is also a very useful and accurate explanation of the subject
• this post, and its links, explain in detail the closely related subject of how article directories really work and why they exist

This isn't right at all, Dan.

Article directories don't require previously unpublished content, and it's a big mistake to submit to an article directory an article that you haven't first published and had indexed on your site, for all the reasons explained in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...marketing.html

Sorry to say it so bluntly, but this is just nonsense.

Like many other professional article marketers, I have about 2,000 articles in Ezine Articles (and many of the same ones in other articles directories, too), none of which was "unique" when submitted. I'd published them myself, first.

Ezine Articles specifically invites its new authors (in the introductory email series they send out) to submit there any previously published blog posts which comply with their editorial guidelines.

They do the same on their blog.

They even produce (for those with Wordpress blogs) a special add-on gizmo enabling their authors to publish articles on their blogs first, and at the same time submit them to Ezine Articles for subsequent acceptance and publication there.

This thread might help you, too: Article on site or EZA first ?

The same principle is true of all the other article directories I use.

Article directories don't require previously unpublished content.

This post will help you, Dan, if you read it: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

Just wanted to contribute two articles that helped me to truly understand the process of article marketing, by fellow warrior Anne Pottinger:

Article Syndication To Benefit and Grow Your Business - Internet Marketing and Publishing Blog

Article Syndication: How To Begin - Internet Marketing and Publishing Blog

I also, like many, had a huge misconception of the true purpose and process of article marketing, but these articles, as well as various posts by Alexa, helped me greatly. I suggest you start reading .
