I am often asked “How come you spend so much time on article marketing?” In this article I will give the answer. In reply to their question I suppose I become a bit like a typical politician by answering the question with a question such as: Do you like to receive copius amounts of visitors to your site without having to spend a dime? How would you like to gain a higher search engine ranking without it costing you any money? How would you like to obtain additional one way links pointing to your website without it costing you any money?

The majority of people would reply “Yes please” to all of these questions. So why are they not writing as many articles as I do? The majority of people just do not have the time or the patience. You can use all of the available best webmaster tools but this will only do so much for you.

Basically I have achieved massive success via writing articles as a form of web promotion. The people who read the articles are potential visitors to my many websites, the webmasters who then decide to use the article on their website enable me to obtain a new backward link which in turn helps the website to rise up in the SERPS. I have even used a freelance SEO consultant in the past.

I hear a lot of webmasters stating that article marketing proved fruitless for them. I then ask them: “Well how many articles have you written? Some will say twenty, some will say thirty, very rarely will anybody say over fifty. Gaining success via writing articles was something that did not happen within a couple of weeks or a couple of years. I probably did not start seeing any major benefits until I had written about one hundred and fifty articles, Rome was not built in a day and all that. I have now written and submitted over nine hundred, the more you write; the more success you will have, as long as they are of a high enough quality of course and are unique.
