I enjoyed the post, I agree with your precepts. I think alot of people fail, not just for failure to utilize a resource box in their articles, but because the work is too hard to do in their available time periods. I did not start to get clicks until I had spent a great deal of time and effort earning them, and a lot of "guru's" are pitching 2 hour success, 20 minute paydays and $7000 in 2 hours... The perception they create is not reality. EliKen Marketing

Good post. From the SEO perspective, in content links are more effective, but it often makes the content look spammy and distracts visitors. I made much better experiences with links in the resource box only, too, since people clicking there don't click on mistake.

I agree with Martin, too many people give up too soon. I rarely use article marketing specifically for affiliate links, but I do use it to drive traffic to my sites and it works extremely well.

As a freelance writer, I also do a lot of articles for clients who are using this approach, so I can tell you it is VERY popular.

I can assure you that article marketing does work- however, yes, you need to write quality information, and keep on doing it. It is worth the investment in time, as when you provide quality, the links will be clicked on. Work at it, get better at it, and you will see results. The biggest problem is that people quit too soon.

That's why there are freelance writers and ghost writing professionals, right?

However, one must be prepared to do a lot of writing; which is also the main reason a lot of people fail at it.

The main reason people favor Bum Marketing is because it requires zero cost and yet has good potential of earning big bucks. However, one must be prepared to do a lot of writing; which is also the main reason a lot of people fail at it. Bum Marketing in essence is article marketing but targeting long tail keywords. The term was coined by Travis and you can get the original course here: http://bummarketingmethod.com/ (not affiliate). Cheers! Waken
