Article Marketing is great!
Yes, it really is! Article marketing is one of the many ways to drive targetted traffic to your website, blog or niche site. It’s really amazing to see how much traffic a well written and keyword rich article can generate in a very short time. And I think I know what I’m talking about since I’m currently using article marketing to drive traffic to my new niche websites…and it works!
Over the last days I published several new articles on EZA to promote my new niche sites. Some days ago I already made 2 new sales from the traffic I got and $33 went to my Clickbank account. And the best thing, I’ve only submitted 10 articles to EZA so far! Unfortunately I can’t submit any new ones right now because my account is under review and the people there will decide wether they upgrade it to a premium one or not (this descission process is normal after submitting 10 articles).
My articles have generated around 336 views so far with 62 clicks on the URLs in my article’s resource box, those URLs that point to my niche sites where I make the sales. That’s a CTR (Click Through Rate) of over 18% and I wouldn’t call that bad!
If I become a premium member on EZA (which means I can submit unlimited articles which also get reviewed faster), I’ll fully concentrate on submitting new articles for sure. Since I know that article marketing really works, I’ll also think about outsourcing the writing work because I’ll most probably make the money back from my affiliate sales (and I’m not the most talented writer anyway). I already found quality content writers that charge only $3 per 500 words and are able to write several hundreds of articles per month.
More infos about my article marketing progress will follow soon, hopefully when I also have a premium Ezinearticles account, hehe…

Clearly article marketing is the best way to gain relevant back links. Additionally these back links are gained slowly, not explosively; a characteristic search engines look for. In a very short period of time, your site becomes an authority site, and organic listings develop. It is vital to include appropriate anchor text, and links in the author resource box.

You’re right here, Peter: article marketing is great in my opinion, too! Since I’ve started writing articles myself, I gave quite a lot of importance to this aspect of website promotion. And EZA seems like a very good place to start submitting your articles to..This seriously makes me think of joining the above mentioned website in the future, when I’m going to start promoting my own niche sites, through article writing and marketing.
Till then, let me wish you good luck in obtaining the premium membership! I hope to see some of your articles on EZA as soon as possible
Cheers,
Tiberius

Today I got an account upgrade, hehe. Although I’m not a premium member right now, they have upgraded my account to Basic Plus, meaning I have to submit another 25 articles before they consider upgrading again.
Let’s see…
Cheer,
