...but links are nice too ;0)

Just passing on a SR blog post from today on; the basics of Article marketing

And I should get to posting some resources later on in the week.

Any thoughts, additions or questions to the convo... do leave em here

Interesting you should mention branding via article marketing in your blog article Gypsy...

There's going to be a new island built off Monaco (current world economy permitting!) and I heard a rumour via a highly placed and reliable source what the island is going to be called.

As Gypsy knows (Tanya does our internet sites, Gypsy's wife) I registered that name with .com .net and .info in the hope that the rumour is right...nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Anyway, I've been mentioning in articles what the island is rumoured to be called, and now several real estate sites and a couple of tax specialist sites (Monaco is a tax haven) have started to suggest the island could be called that too.

I'm hoping that there'll be enough press and internet speculation mentioning the new island's rumoured name that it could be irrestible not to choose it...and sell the domain names to construction companies / property developers if it becomes official.

All through article marketing, so as far as I can see Gypsy's comments about article marketing being more than just links but branding too makes sense in the real world, it certainly can work.

Hopefully it will work sufficently well to get the domain names sold!

G'day Roger ol chum... ready for the winter? eeeek....

It's funny I am also like minded when it comes to paid links (or links in general); there needs to be the potential for actual traffic/reach (branding).

As for the article marketing, the mass submissions are great, but best left to B-Grade material. Targeting media outlets in you niche means not only a potential link from an authority site, but also a chance to get your name out in front of the influencers, movers and shakers and otherwise build brand and reach.

I know you've done some article marketing in the past and this little guide might help consider the targeting and strategy (or simply pay me to manage it for ya... he he....)

Nice to cya round SR again... like ships in the night.
