Thanks Larry. Overall, it’s all about communications in some fashion, but hopefully good communications.

I’d only put my name behind something I really believed in. Sure, on this blog I’ve written about a few things that look good that I haven’t tried, but very few. At some point, if I get big enough, I may join the ranks of those people who help out product launches. But for someone to pay me money for something that I might hate and want me to write something nice about,… not happening. My integrity is worth more than that.

Still, as it’s getting colder and quieter, I can’t say that I don’t look back on passed up “opportunities” and wonder ‘what if’,… Nah!

If someone offers 5K it means you mean something to the ‘net…which means another is bound to come along that you are willing to put your name behind

So I too would turn it away if it didn’t feel right.

I’ve been offered more money than that in my main business industry and turned it down because it went against my principles. And I’m talking six digits; just couldn’t do it. So yeah, I can honestly say it because I’ve done it.

Thanks for the mention Mitch but let’s be honest. If someone offered you $5,000 to do a favorable product review, you wouldn’t take the money?

Be honest man…..

Thanks for the kind words, Raj. Now, I’m not saying I might not be getting some link love. I am saying that no one seems to be coming to visit my site via any article directories. If you check your stats, what percentage of visitors are you getting from them?

Hi Mitch: Nice post. I am kind of surprised about your not so great results from article marketing. I tried it out about six months ago, by submitting original articles to various sites and the results were so good that I decided to set up an article directory myself. Hence, I am confused as to why it has not driven traffic as much as you had expected. But this site is so good that your traffic is bound to increase naturally anyway. Thank you.

Yup; almost like we’re on the same wavelength. Great minds think alike, including the Muppets!

Well, since that’s apparently your focus, of course you’d say and believe that. The articles I have posted aren’t new articles. Some have been there since the beginning of the year, but others have been there for literally years. Same with articles posted on other sites. Now, I don’t know what kind of traffic they’ve gotten, but it hasn’t been anything that’s helped me thus far.

Thanks for visiting, Suzanne. And thanks for the nice words. I’m not sure how I’d check to see if they were “good” backlinks, but I know I’ve gotten backlinks from them. But no referrals or traffic; that’s kind of key for me.

Hi Mitch ~ Followed over from Dennis’s blog … I also believe in being fair to my readers first … make money second and I can tell you’re a honest, straight forward guy.

As for the article marketing … sorry to hear you aren’t getting any traffic from them. Mine are hit and miss … but don’t forget to check to see if you’re getting any good backlinks from the articles you submitted. Those are just as important sometimes.

I look forward to reading more. *SmiLes* Suzanne

Clearly article marketing is the best way to gain relevant back links. Additionally these back links are gained slowly, not explosively; a characteristic search engines look for. In a very short period of time, your site becomes an authority site, and organic listings develop. It is vital to include appropriate anchor text, and links in the author resource box.
