Did you know that it is possible to get free blog traffic while completely ignoring SEO (search engine optimization).
The way to do this is very simple.
All you need to do is generate tightly focused useful and interesting articles and then to trigger off some serious buzz on them, you simply need to post them at specific article directories.
Personally I post my highly effective free blog traffic generating promotional articles at only two article directories.
The reason why articles don't work for most people is because they just rush out there and start writing as many articles as they can and then they post them in every article directory they can find.
Predictably it does not work and so they sit back to announce to the world that articles don't work.
This is just the same thing as going into the cockpit of a commercial Jumbo jet and then when you fail to get it taxing, let alone fly, you then turn around and say Jumbo jets are too large and therefore they don't fly.
It is impossible, they just don't work.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but that is exactly how absurd it is to ever claim that article marketing is not effective.
Search engines are hungrily looking for content round the clock and they reward good content with steady traffic for years.
Sometimes search engines send millions of visitors daily to a single web page or affiliate web page and they end up making the owner of that page a millionaire overnight.
So the naked truth is that articles not only work, they are the most effective marketing tool ever created by man.
