Article Marketing - Are Article Submission Services The Real Deal?

If you do any type of article marketing, you may heard of article submission services that promise to blast your article out to 10,000-50,000 publishers. Of course, many of the publishers are not really legitimate publishers, and hardly any receive any traffic. Most of these article submission services are pretty costly to use, so it might not really justify for the payoff.

In fact, only a few hundred article directories on the web receive any significant amount of traffic. Thus, youll not really be getting the best bang for your buck, or return on investment. Youd be better off spending the money on Pay Per Click campaigns.

Another problem that exists is that your email inbox will often be flooded with announcements of new articles being submitted. In effect, you end up being one of the tens of thousands of publishers that articles are being blasted to. You could easily receive hundreds of emails a day and your inbox will be continuously full.

The only one advantage of using some article submission service is that youll build tons of backlinks from your articles posted to the legitimate sites, which are very useful for search engine optimization purposes. However, it has been well documented that adding hundreds of backlinks at a single go may raise alarm bells at the search engines. Their spiders will get suspicious over how you went from creating zero backlinks the day before, to having a sudden boost of hundreds of backlinks. As a result, your search engine ranking could actually suffer!
