Link popularity has been a raging topic over the last few
years as search engines have used the number of inbound
links to proxy for the popularity of a website--hence the
term link popularity. Webmasters unfortunately took high
advantage of the search engines, creating massive link
farms, where hundreds or thousands of websites would band
together and all link to each other, artificially inflating
their sites' link popularity versus those of sites which
did not employ such 'black hat' linking strategies.
Due to intensive banning of the various methods of link
farming and web rings, a recently popularized method of
gaining the coveted inbound links has been that of writing
articles and submitting these articles to article
directories. These article directories become a
dissemination point for the articles and their embedded
links, allowing the inbound links to propagate quite
naturally on the internet, creating a resurgence in the
topic of link popularity.
Once again, automation has ruled the day, and website
owners have not only automated the submission of articles,
but have developed software that searches the web for bits
and pieces of articles that can be reformed to create new
articles. Nonsense articles, but articles nonetheless. As
a result, the latest whisper on the web is that the largest
search engine of all will soon be banning sites created
with these types of software.
But, back to the original topic.
When you submit articles to reputable article directories
and allow them to publish your works with your links
intact, does your link popularity go up?
My experience tells me that it does. Article marketing is
my primary form of advertising, search engine optimization,
and link popularity building, and in the span of 9 months,
I have sent 3 different websites to high levels of link
popularity. In fact, my most recent site addition,
launched on August 3 of this year (today is September 1)
has 41 inbound links in Google and 31 inbound links in
Yahoo, and the only, I repeat only, method of promotion has
been article marketing. Another interesting statistic:
the website was indexed by Google in only 3 days, with no
site submission whatsoever, only article marketing.
So, it works for me. If you are article marketing
yourself, you should know that it works for you. If not,
give it a try. There may only be a limited window of time
before 'black hat' web tricksters will employ techniques
that will again enrage the search engines and make link
popularity as we know it a thing of the past.
