This helps the high quality content. Of course, I also found some articles in Ezine Articles are not really good enough. Besides Ezine Articles, I also submit to other article directories. Some accept my articles very quickly. And these articles bring me traffic very soon, such as articlesbase.com. I know it has nofollow tag. But the time of article being accepted is short, most of time, I just wait a few hours(say, 2 or 3 hours, never more than 12 hours or one day), then my article is accepted.

I will have to say that article marketing takes a lot of work though which I don't think a lot of people realize. Its not a challenge so much if you are in the habit of being a writer because then you will be able to dish out quality content in an endless fashion. However the thing is, outsourcing is as much of a challenge as it is to write an article. I know myself its definitely hard to get to a point where your in the groove. Another frustration when your outsourcing is doing business with people who unfortunately don't have much of a spine. What I mean by that is that they generally send you duplicate content and charge you for it. If you don't know what your doing you're going to find yourself in a situation here your constantly wondering why your articles aren't getting indexed well. Anyways, thanks for the article. Anyone who is interested click my name as it will redirect you to the site which I'm currently working on. Make sure to take a look around there's a lot of great information there to make your life on the net easier. Great post Dee.

As a matter of fact, for quick affiliate promotions is better to post your article on Ezine Articles that it is on your newly launched site. Why? Because, in niches with up to 5000 competitors in the organic listings, nine times out of ten the article published on EA will rank on the first page of Google's SERP without any additional link building. Also you shouldn't rely solely on the referral traffic an good, competitive article directory provides you with.  Instead you should focus on Keyword Optimizing each article you submit so that the authority of that particular directory is taken advantage of in the SEO game, namely ranking well in the organic listings. Article marketing can also be used as a genuine SEO tool, namely to build backlinks to affiliate offers. In order for the links to stick overtime and not be trashed by Google in the Supplemental index the articles you plan on submitting should be spinned at least three times so the uniqueness of that original content is kept. Then use an <a href="http://trafficcpanel.com/1621/article-submission-software-3-programs-one-unbiased-review/" rel="nofollow">article submission software</a> to submit that article to multiple directories. Some of the AD are good, some, not so good but they Do provide a link once the article is indexed. My advice is to use top 25 article directories for driving traffic and the rest for acquiring backlinks. As you well pointed out Ezine Articles is the place to start in article marketing.

And in that time, I learned that my keyword research is flawed that's why I'm not getting significant traffic. I'm learning and relearning everything, slowly but I hope surely this time. Now I use article marketing for SEO and backlinks. I didn't have a good result from social marketing either, but I suspect it's because of my niche. Gardening doesn't sound something that will hit with the social traffic. It's not very 2.0 @Dee, it’s been a while since my last comment.

Many internet users nowadays prefers an easy way to find sites on the net. Unless though, you make a good humored article. I myself prefer social media, forum posting and directory posting.

If you'll get a good increase in traffic, why not do it? It doesn't take too long to write a 400 word article for Ezine Articles and you can still have the content on your blog. I would rewrite the article to avoid the duplicate content issue on Google but the concepts and ideas would still be the same. @Nova What keywords are you targeting?

Also why post your hard work elsewhere, just keep it on your own blog where it is working for you. I agree with Andrew I think social media particularly Twitter has overtaken article marketing.
