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.

General Ramblings Of A Hard Day
Well it is 7pm and I am officially beat mentally and physically. I have been up since 7am link building for my terms affordable seo and article marketing. Then I went to the gym and was put on a program that I cannot feel my muscles with and so understandably am tired. Also I just finished my last article for tonight and now just need to update this blog and my day is done.
I sent an invoice out today and it is looking pretty good the new design of the invoice in pdf format. I have stopped using word for document because they sometimes do not open on apple macs and so a nice pdf looks nice a professional. Think I could be busy over the next month so that is why I am pushing my articles now as I will not have as much time if I get this big order in. Currently on page 6 for affordable seo and have not even looked at where I am for article marketing. I will try and keep pushing though and make time for my own website because that is what is going to keep the bread on the table. To many seo companies neglect their own seo ranking i think because they just get to busy.
I am going to review some advanced link building techniques so that I am up to date with some better techniques and then I can utilise this in my other day to day activities. Seo is proving to be an exciting mistress and I am happy that I set about this venture. Just need to secure 2 to 3 more regular accounts and I will be financially sweet for the foreseeable six months.
Anyways sorry for the short blog post and the lack of interesting content but I need a shower and some dinner - early night for me because tomorrow we start it all again!

Becoming a Guest Blogger Has Its Benefits
Blogging is a great way to engage in the web design and seo market by being able to leave comments publicly and also to see what other peoples opinions are on a particular subject or topic. When you post a comment on a blog normally they are nofollow links which is completely understandable otherwise people would be spamming every blog form here to the edge of the world.
Still engaging in the community is a great thing to do and it really is a vital part of being a good seo professional. Also the nofollow links still do carry some weight with them and it has been suggested that a person who regularly engages in many blogs over a long period of time can acquire some good authority from the many nofollow links as it clearly shows he or she is an active member of the online community and is not bothered about just dofollow links.
Anyway this brings me to my point of guest blogging on other web designers or seo consultants blogs or news feeds on their websites. Why I hear you ask? Simply because they know that having their blog updated is a good thing for their website as it fresh content to be crawled. Also updating a blog on a daily basis is time consuming and after a while is a pain to do especially when you are very busy. This form of blog writing is a mutation of article marketing, as you are writing an article for someone else but distributing it on their blog.
The beauty of it really is that the website gets fresh content for free but also your guest blogger will be able to have one anchor text backlink going back to his website for 'payment' for doing a good article post on your blog.
The issue here is it is better if you know the person who wants to guest blog or you have had professional dealings with them before, but I am confident that if you email 20 web small companies who understand good seo, then you should be able to get one or two of them saying yes to you doing a guest blog for them perhaps once a month.
All in all we are after dofollow anchor text back links and what better way than getting a few sneaky links from websites related to seo for free.
