Here are some quick thoughts that you can assimilate in the event that you think article marketing is a waste of time or non-productive. Article marketing allows you the opportunity to have your websites making money with as few as 1 submitted article. Of course, there are many outside factors that can influence this money making progress.

For example, your site design, monetization method and chosen niche. However, after having built websites on over 200 different niches and seeing the monetary amounts those niche topics can provide I can assure you that article marketing works at driving traffic that is targeted enough to where it will make you money.

I want to come clean with you here on this statement. Without question PPC marketing is the fastest way to drive traffic to your website and the traffic for the most part is targeted enough to allow you the opportunity to make a profit from it once you subtract your associated PPC costs. Although the articles you submit can't drive traffic immediately once they are approved they can then begin to start generating traffic on your behalf and in many cases have the ability to start generating income within 24 - 36 hours after the article is approved.

Additionally, the more articles you submit based on the keywords you have targeted for your niche topic the more traffic you can generate which has an exponential growth on the income your website can produce from the visitors that arrive by clicking through the links in the resources boxes of your articles.

In fact, this topic is always a hot subject in any Internet marketing forum that I visit. However, I'm here to tell you that if you consistently and correctly use article marketing to its full advantage your website doesn't have to be ranked in the search engines in order for you to make money from it.

I have many sites that are nowhere to be found in the Internet Search Engines and yet they still earn a steady amount of income on a daily basis simply due to traffic generated by the articles I have submitted on their behalf. The key to this success is based on leveraging the authority site status granted to the article directories such as EzineArticles.com and leveraging the search engine favoritism shown to the WEB 2.0 sites such as Squidoo, Hub Pages, Yahoo Answers, Digg and many more.

Because these sites already have an established and trusted relationship with the search engines it makes more sense to use them as a daisy chain linking back to your money making websites through the links you place in the resource box of the articles you submit to them.
