Article Marketing - Is it Dead?

There is talk in the SEO 'world' that using Articles to gain links is now a process best forgotten, the buzz being that the Engines have now decided that these article engines (where house most articles) are just another form of Free For All (FFA) links site. As you know, such sites (indeed to some degree also pages on sites that are just a list of links)are to all intents and purposes being ignored by the Engines for some time now, so if this is true, is it worth all the effort and expense of placing articles around the web?

The fact is we don't know for sure what is in the mind of the Search Engines on this matter, but we can take steps to make sure that any published articles work when the competitions do not, the result here being that our sites still get traffic and rankings and they don't.

How is this done, well it is a three stage process.

1. Make sure that the articles you right are original and are worth the time it takes to read them
2. Make sure that you don't submit exact copies to a whole list of article sites, cause if you do Google's 'Duplicate Filter' monster (a nasty beast) will 'get you.'
3. Do some research and find sites around the web that want articles and then contact them directly.
