I just began to submit articles, by far I have submitted 13 articles to several article sites.
But I have not see any results. I didn't get backlinks, I didn't get any traffic.
I use Google Analytic to track my site stat, but I have not see any traffic come from other sources except aweber.(I guess only me visit my website).
My articles got approved by many article sites, but no traffic? Is it because of something I doing wrong with Google Analytic? But I did put the code on all my web pages.
By the way, I found my squeeze page just indexed by Google. But how do I really get traffic and increase page rank from article marketing?
I am sure some one from a article directory will now claim the opposite but who are you going to believe. You have to write unique articles and have a deal/relationship with websites who will publish them.
The far better approach is to contact sites you admire and respect that are in your field, and see if they accept, or might be willing to accept, articles written by you just for them. If you are a good writer and work efficiently, and/or have good writers at your disposal who could ghost write for you, this can still be effective.
These days, anyone simply wanting minimal work is increasingly out of luck. The Web has rapidly evolved to reflect the world at large: There will always be new short-cuts if you're clever enough to find them (the stuff we never tell anyone else about), but generally it's hard work and quality that prevail over time.
We're sorta assuming here that there is also good content being created on the site.
