Internet marketing experts always recommend article marketing and it is more powerful than email marketing or any form of Internet advertising.

Article marketing is an excellent strategy for driving FREE traffic, particularly if you don’t want to advertise your product by pay-per click Search Marketing.

A best practice in article marketing involves the creation of tons of quality attractive articles related to your specific product or services.

How article marketing drives traffic for your site?
Article directories can help your site generate massive traffic by showing articles and author bio (links to your site).

What benefits article directories can get to show articles?
Article directories displays ads related to your topic on each article page.

The higher your article appears in search engines, the more traffic your articles will generate. Articles site can shares articles via RSS with their subscribers and partners, this will increase number of back-links of your site.

Good rule of writing article is "quality over quantity". A single article can generate more traffic than tons of articles traffic. Your articles should contain the keywords that people would commonly use to search for your particular topic.

Duplicate content will actually drive SEO rankings down. Make each piece different enough will give greater rewards.

Good luck for your Internet marketing!

This thread raises the classic points about article marketing (thanks to , and ) and the sensible tool/format thinking from . ’s duplicate-content question is the right one to pin down: Google does not automatically “penalize” every repeated article, but identical or thin syndicated copies can be filtered so only one version shows in results — treat duplicates as an indexing/filtering problem you can manage, not a mysterious penalty. (developers.google.com)

Practical, modern workflow (publish-first, then syndicate correctly):

  1. Publish the authoritative, full article on your own site first.
  2. When syndicating, use canonical signals or redirects so search engines know which URL you prefer. (developers.google.com)
  3. Pitch the piece to reputable niche publishers (guest posts) rather than blasting low-quality directories; large-scale syndication for links looks like link manipulation to Google. (developers.google.com)
  4. If links are commercial/paid or appear in UGC, label them with rel="sponsored" / rel="ugc" / rel="nofollow" as appropriate — Google treats these as hints now. (developers.google.com)

If an article “doesn’t bring traffic” or seems ignored:

  • Use Search Console’s URL Inspection and Coverage reports to see indexing status, crawling errors, or Google-selected canonical. Fix robots, noindex tags, or canonicalization as needed. (developers.google.com)
  • Audit backlink quality before chasing volume; algorithmic link-spam updates neutralize mass low-value links. (developers.google.com)

Finally, amplify good articles by repurposing (short videos, social snippets, newsletters) and by placing the full, unique piece on high-quality publishers — distribution + useful content wins over directory blasting. For repurposing and distribution tactics see industry playbooks such as Ahrefs and HubSpot. (ahrefs.com)

Quick checklist: site-first publishing, canonical when syndicated, selective guest placement, proper rel attributes for paid/UGC links, monitor Search Console, and repurpose for reach.

There is no doubt that article marketing is effective, but not all businesses have the time nor the skill to write compelling articles. It seems that video marketing is really a way to break out from the pack. But one thing that a marketer should look for, especially if their time is restricted, is SEO Tools.

Duplicate content will actually drive SEO rankings down.

I've heard this on many message boards but I have never experienced this in the 10 years I've been doing SEO. If an article is popular and spreads like wildfire over the internet why would this drive rankings down? This would actually indicate popularity.

Article Marketing increases the traffic and also gives the back links. Good PR sites like Ezine articles is counted as a solid link
