Article marketing is my favorite way to build backlinks. Writing about relevant topics and then submitting them to hundreds of article directories ( same article re written ) really builds those backlinks up and you should always social bookmark your articles aswell.

Article marketing takes a little time to do, but that time is well spent. If you write a quality article, it has the possibility to be republished on thousands of sites, sending you floods of targeted traffic to your website.

Ben,
One question. For you, do you use the posts you published on your blog and rewrite them to submit to article directories or you write them completely new.

Excellent tips for article marketing, i’ve learned a lot from this article, thanks for sharing.

Good tips. How about including the use of tools to facilitate the submission of articles. Or probably explore the option of outsourcing the article submission task. Doing the submission on your own can be a bit taxing.
