Article submissions as a traffic-building strategy

Why I Use Articles To Build Links and Traffic

When starting a new site in a niche, articles are one of the first parts of my marketing plan. The reason behind this is that you can get a few easy links and some easy traffic. Once those articles are spread to the thousands of crappy article sites, the value of the link degrades, but you’ll still see some traffic every month in my experience.

I’ve been trying to decide lately if the “crappy” value of the links makes this a viable tactic on a site you’re really trying to build for the longterm. I’m not convinced it is, but for sites you’re just trying out, I think it can definitely help.
