Hello everybody, some time I was using article marketing, but one day try to search about it more, so i found that article marketing is dead already and it worthless.
In almost all search results/blog post main thing was that article posting to several directories no matter how popular they are is worthless because google have tools to see duplicate content (even if you changed 50% text) and for good backlink using just one source. So it means if you posted in many directories, you wasted your time.

Did they are right? Or there is some misunderstandings?

There are two forms of duplicate content.

1. You copy someone else’s content for use on you page.
2. Someone copies your content for use on their page.

When Google or any other search engine discovers a duplicate content issue, they act and they act very fast. They will either:

1. OMIT your website completely from all the search results.
2. Place your website in what is called the supplemental index.

Article marketing is effective, I can attest to that. All you need to do is to find article sites that has the most readers then submit your article. You can get good traffic, popularity and link by doing so. Original content is worth the submission.

It's not only limited to that.

I don't think article marketing is dead. This is the one of the good technique to market your site and to increase your traffic.

Yes, as i have said its the best technique. The real advantage of an article directory is that your website viewers will be able to click via to your site after they are done with your content. and if you provide some nice information you will get plenty of regular and valuable visitors. Also, the resource box will contain a link back to your website. These directory backlinks will help you to achieve a higher ranking in search engines.

Article marketing is not dead. I'm not sure where you read that, but it's misinformation. It's true that Google will doc you for duplicate content, but it sounds like you don't really know what that means. If you write an article with links back to your main site and then you place that article on 10 different article sites, what's Google going to think? Since all the links are going back to your site it will realize that you are the original owner of the content. You can duplicate your own content as much as you want. It's more to prevent others from scraping up your content and changing the links to point to their site. I hope this helps.

Article marketing is alive and well. A few well-placed, well-written articles can deliver targeted web site traffic for years to come.

Article Marketing will not surely die! Fresh Article is needed to optimize your site when submitting to directories, never tried to be relaxed using rewrite articles in the end you will find yourself not doing good.

Fresh and new article is better it attract more readers than rewrite articles.

Article marketing is far from dead. It is still very much an effective way of driving targeted traffic to your website as well as getting high quality anchored text backlinks. With that said, article marketing is much more than doing a quick write up and then submitting it to an article directory.

And as far as your duplicate content worries and only receiving one backlink, there is an easy solution. Instead of posting the same exact article to different directories you can actually post unique content to each. It takes more work but it is worth it in the end (that's just my opinion however).

The problem really starts when people submit their article to 10-15 different websites. In this process certain articles get hijacked and get copied to other forums or blogs.

This is the reason why article promotion has suffered a set-back.

However, there are still plenty of websites where you can go and submit your article

I am agree with the author. Some bloggers use to copy the content of other blogger and they don't use their own mind and just because of them other bloggers have to face lots of problems.

One of the best ways to have good links is article submission, so I don't think article marketing is dead, it's just that maybe the reason is running out of ideas to write.

Article marketing is still one of the most important step for traffic + Web directreis

Article marketing has been recognised for many years for its effective search engine results. Although there are many ways to build more links to your websites article marketing is still the best way to do it and it remains one of the most popular methods among those who are making money working from home from their online home based businesses.

Google will find that there are many versions of the article all over the web.For sure this is a classic duplicate content case, but still you will receive traffic from different sources.

By submitting the same article everywhere you will not get quality links but you will get some extra traffic.

Google will display the content that it crawled and indexed first. Obviously, it does not show it's duplicate copies on the search results.

Article marketing is not dead. It still can drive a lot of traffic to your site if you market it well.

Moreover, posting the same content to many directories is not bad either, you are still getting backlinks and traffic from those pages!!

article writing is very effective way to get back links and secondly to improve your website traffic....it is a great source and can improve your ranking as well

Google can't see that an article with 50% uniqueness is duplicate, it might just as well be a completely different article. Further more, distributing good unique content linking back to your source page is not dead. How could it be?

Article Marketing Dead Already?

Thank you everybody for your answers. I appreciate that

Properly researched and targeted articles can drive in good amounts of traffic... not going away anytime soon.

It's the articles that are purely built for SEO/link farms that will probably die out in the coming year or so

I don't think that article marketing is not dead.. Many marketer I know are still engage in article marketing. It is proven to drive traffic and market your site.

google eliminate the duplicate content article. But its not dead. Now also people submiting their articles to ezine, articlebase,etc.

If you write an article with links back to your main site and then you place that article on 10 different article sites, what's Google going to think? Since all the links are going back to your site it will realize that you are the original owner of the content.

Article marketing works very well for me

Make sure you post unique content on each directory to get best results
