I wanted to share a quick blog as to why I think and feel article marketing is a good seo technique and one that I will keep employing for my seo needs and strategy. One of the main reasons I like it is because you actually can offer some useful information to people who are actively researching a subject, and secondly you get topic related anchor text back link to your website which is great.
People talk of this type of marketing to be an area of seo that will eventually perish however I try to not get to wrapped up in that debate because truth is seo will keep changing and that means at some point even link building might not be a necessary seo practise. At this second in time article marketing is a good tool and it is a good way to get a website out into the article directories and also to get solid back links into your website.
I must say though that article marketing in general is not easy to do because it takes a lot of time to create an article that is a decent read, which then takes me on to any companies that do try black hat seo practises do not tend to like to do anything that requires time or effort - they are all about the quick fixes. This says to me that bad seo companies will avoid article writing and marketing because to do it well takes a lot of time and effort.
Anyway many people have conflicting views on a lot of aspects of seo and this is just one of those conflicts explained in a way that does favour article marketing as a good thing. You then also need to think about distributing the articles into many different article directories so that you get a good spread of inbound links and are not just getting all your links from one place such as Go Articles.

Keyword Stuffing and Paid Links For SEO
A lovely Wednesday morning in the South East in Wiltshire and i am happier today firstly because the heating has been on meaning that I am not wearing three jumpers and secondly because the weather is quite nice out. Don't get me wrong it is still freezing but something about a nice blue sky even if cold that makes you feel better than a cloudy grey one.
Anyway today I have been working my way through Chapter 9 of my seo guide from Seomoz and it has been around seo myths and manipulating the search engines and general 'black hat' techniques. All the techniques at one point or another in my past when I hadn't a clue about seo would be ideas that have come to my mind. I am glad to see how the search engines handle these bad practises because at the end of the day, it makes for better search results and everyone benefits from good results. Also now i am pursuing a career in white hat seo work, it means that I can have some long term success in something. I guess the attraction to the 'black hat' seo stuff or 'the dark side' is down to the ease of doing it. I like to go to the analogy that if something were easy then everybody would be doing it. 'White hat' is the way forward - definitely.
My key words are going well and I have been doing some link building but I will begin this properly next week and also some article marketing as well. I will write an article around the keyword 'content writing' later and submit it to the article directory ezinearticles and hopefully i will begin to rank well for that keyword soon.
'Affordable seo' is still doing OK but hopefully the more links that start getting indexed then the better that will do. I anticipate that over November if I push correctly on the article marketing and get 20 articles out there and also get some solid link building done i.e. 40 links, then I am hopeful I will be page 5 minimum for all my key terms and page 1 for my long tail key terms. I will use my blog posts to work on my long tail keywords and use them for the anchor text back links.
