Article marketing or bookmarking

5 replies
HI guys

just wanted your findings on this theory.

Article marketing is basically having your same article all over these sites, but isnt it creating so much duplicate articles which can penalize your site for duplicate content. Now that Google has heavily penalized Article directories. same like link farms.

vs

Bookmarking to the social sites like FB and on youtube, pinterest etc, i feel is better as you are syndicating content, all leading back to your page,

what do you have to say abt it?

  • That is not article marketing. I don't have time to type out the big differences between real article marketing and what you're describing. Just do a search for any post by "Alexa Smith" on this forum, and you'll find a bunch of links about article marketing. She explains exactly what it is, and more importantly, what it isn't. It is great information that everyone should read.

    Regarding book marking to social sites. That can be helpful too, if you do it in a way that people will actually see.

    Bottom line, provide value to your readers in every possible way you can. Build that relationship of trust. Then sell them something that is worth every dime they pay.

    Michael is right, what you are describing is not article marketing.

    But apart from that, why do you think it's one or the other? Do both!

    Alexa Smith's each and every post is valuable. Take time off and read it if you want to learn.

    SEO is ever changing. If you can not update yourself by reading and understanding, then it may not be the right place.
