Is this a thing of the past? Does anyone have any experience with either Hubpages or Squidoo?

Anyone use a site builder that allows unrestricted access to modify source code? I recently built a site only to learn that I have very limited access to CSS. Oh well you live and you learn.
 


Article marketing has lost its potency.
1) Submitting an article to a dofollow directory gets you a backlink.
2) Rolling the same article on multiple directories will do you no good. What’s ultimately gonna happen is...only a copy of article will appear in search results and rest be labelled as duplicate. Please don’t expect any fireworks outta article marketing. It is passe, try something better like blogging or guest posting...
 
Take it from me

The articles themselves going to bring you a lot of traffic these days, it`s harder to rank the articles than it used to be. You`d have to spend time building links to the articles when you could be doing that to your own site. But you do get backlinks from the articles, so it`s worth posting to a few main ones or spinning and dripfeeding to a large number of them to get more ip diversity in your backlinks.

I used to make decent money just off Adsense on Hubpages because they would rank really easily. But now the traffic is almost nothing.
 
I still submit my articles to squidoo and hubpages. Through article marketing, you can earn a decent amount of cash. It takes hard work though.
 
I'm curious for a point of clarification here. Article marketing in the traditional sense is apparently losing potency (reference this thread), but I am curious why it is that people still buy content at places like here? Are they using these articles to fill their authority sites with content. What's the mainstay of people purchasing all this content?

There's plenty you can do with content besides post it to article directories -- blog networks, money sites, web 2.0s, wikis, etc, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know article directories would be considered specifically as article marketing. I thought the remainder, blog networks etc., were also included in that umbrella. Guess my ignorance is showing :rolleyes:
 
Have you guys hear about article prism kind of marketing? It gives you leaps of traffic. You better try some SEO article companies like seoarticleshop.

Article marketing doesn't just mean submitting articles to directories, it was a strategy for making money. Before Google smacked the shit out of websites like ezinearticles, they used to rank very well for competitive terms. People would write high-quality articles with links to their landers / pages / whatever. Because of its high domain authority, articles on ezine would rank well (generally) which meant that you would get real traffic and real visitors from them. Hell, there were even people that used ezine as their sole source of information and would search it like you or I search google.

That all went to shit when Google went after article directories... now they're basically only useful for linking purposes.

As for your ignorance, don't worry. Everyone started somewhere.
 
Submitting content to article directories or Web 2.0 sites like Hubpages, Squidoo is not very good choice. The problem is that you don't own the site on which the content appears and there are many restrictions, limitations and conditions, so all your hard work could disappear overnight.

It is more advisable to create your own site which you own and control. However, you can use article directories & Web 2.0 sites for backlinks and additional traffic to your main website.
