Writing and submitting articles has been an increasingly popular way to market products and web sites. It can be a very effective way to create inbound links to your web sites, but only if it is done the right way!
It is a cheap - but such a very time consuming task to write and submit articles to hundreds of e-zine lists and article directories. To ease your job, you possibly use one of article marketing submission tools you can find on the Internet, either free or paid ones.
When you have finished writing your article with all the right keywords for your niche, and written your bio, you go ahead and submit your article manually, or with one of those article submitters.
Now you relax, and wait for all the traffic that your article will bring to your website. Only if things were so easy! Maybe you had success with submitting articles that way a few years back, but sadly not today.
Just like with everything else in life, the Internet has changed a lot, so article marketing is sadly not as effective as it used to be some years ago.
The Problem:
When you submit the same version of your article to all the article directories, you are spreading duplicate content all over the Internet. Most of the major search engines now filter out duplicate content, so it doesn't matter if you have submitted your article to hundreds of article sites, now it may only count as 1 single inbound link to your web site.
The Solution:
Keep submitting articles, but submit only unique versions of each article, because you want to get unique backlinks to your website, or websites. If you submit unique articles once a week or even more frequently, you can have hundreds or thousands of back links pointing to your site within a few weeks or months!
