The idea:

1. Create a directory site

2. Group the articles of the same topic together and generate under a subfolder. Do random cross linking.

3. Upload the article folders onto the appropriate web folder.

4. Update the directory homepage.  I use eSyndicate script to manage the directory and listings.

How I made money from the article site?

1.  Adsendse Ads – placed at the prominent hot zone for maximum clickthrough rate.

2. Amazon affiliate program.  I used the Amazon snippets, which deliver the ads automatically.

4. ClickBank digital products – the links are created automatically by the scripts I used.

I get rid of the tedious work of building the site page by page by using some scirpts.

Resource :

1. eSyndicate directory script
2. AutoPilotNiches – deliver the readily built sites by nich topics.

Have a look at my InfoClickMe.com site.   I simply turn information into cash.

The new approach: Pick two or three quality sites.

Why the difference? There are some good reasons for the divergent perspectives.

Those who advocate mass submission are generally more interested in backlink generation than in direct traffic production. They realize that Google’s treatment of duplicate content will render most every submission “invisible” to searchers. They also know that Google will still take note of the backlinks.

Those who advocate limited distribution argue that you can muster the same traffic effect from a single submission to the right directory and that Google doesn’t seem to be treating inbound links from articles with the same gusto it once had.

So, which way should you break on this issue? If you have mass submitter, software, I’d continue to bombard the net with your articles. There’s no such thing as a bad link, after all. If you don’t have a submitter and you’re more interested in driving traffic to a landing page than engaging in SEO, it makes sense to limit your submissions to the sites that matter.

More Free Traffic

I have been watching the development of web 2.0 social marketing for past two years. The previous craze was mybloglog.com chase. The blogging thingy. Now the Twitter.com chase.

Needless to say, marketers will never ignore the current hot babe. You will not be surprised to have many people following your Twitter.  Everyday when I open my email, I see at least a few notification of people following me.  I follow them back for courtesy sake.

Back to my title again: Article marketing.  Do marketers still bother to provide value-add to the community by writing more in-dept stuff in articles?

I am still in the old school. I use articles more than social networking strategy. Still believing people need to be educated. Therefor, I come out with a Article Marketing for Newbies Video Tutorial.  Believing that when I give many times, I will receive. It does not matter will or will not, it is a matter of when.

Do I still use Twitter.com?  Yes, of course. I use it naturally.

You see, when I post this post, my WP plugin will auto send a tweet to my Twitter.

I just checked, there are a few tweets that were done automatically for me.

a. ArticleMarketer.com announced my new article get approved

b. Youtube.com announced my new video upload.

c. WordPress announce my new post (including this one)

Perhaps, I shall come out with a Twitter video.  Will announce to you when it is ready.  May be I will give it free for watch the video.
