First let me explain article marketing for those that do not know what it is. Lets say your website is about widgets. You write an article on interesting ways people can use widgets.
In the footer of your article there is an author bio section. In the author bio section you place links to your website about widgets.
You submit that article to as many article directories as possible. You can use a service www.isnare.com ISnare.com who for two dollars per article will submit your article to hundreds of article directories.
Once you submit to all of those directories, remember the link in the author bio section, each of those directories is now a one-way inbound link.
Now none of those links is related to widgets, so they are not relative links, but they do still count for link popularity, just not as much as relative links do.
But the second reason that article directories exist is to provide free content to website owners. These website owners can take your article and use it as content for their website as long as they leave the links in the author bio section active and intact.
Article Marketing Doesn’t Work. That is exactly what...
