Article Marketing: Quality Vs Quantity

QUESTION: (Anonymous) How do you differentiate a quality article from a quantity article?

This is an interesting question because how do you define a “good quality” article and why would you strive to create a bad one?

When I think of “Quality Article”, I am referring to an article that its purpose is to entice readers, create followers, and provide the reader unbelievable content.  I usually personally write these articles or I may pay a well-established (usually pricey) writer to do it for me.  These types of articles I usually put on my own websites as well as places where my name and my authority may be recognized (like eZineArticles, Twitter, Facebook, etc.).

Now the “Quantity Article” is usually done for the sole purpose of creating backlinks.   These DO need to be readible and usually the quality is not too bad.  Still, I usually would pay a lower priced author to write these types of articles and I may even go the extra step of “spinning” the article.  The can produce a lot of unique articles (and hopefully good backlinks) without the cost.

In fact, I usually have the “Quantity Articles” linking back to the “Quality Articles”, among other things.  It is just good SEO and Social Media Practice.

cheers…matt

Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...

Affiliate Summit West 2010 - End of CPA?

On day 2 of Affiliate Summit West 2010, I am able to re-gather my thoughts so far on the event. One thing keeps popping out to me: Visa and Mastercard laying down the law on negative option offers…and this seems to be effecting everyone here!

Debate: Affiliates Buying Clickbank Products

If you sell on Clickbank, you know one fundamental rule about the system is its simplicity for people to buy your products with their affiliate link. It costs you a large percentage of the sale with no marketing benefits. Should Clickbank stop people from doing this. HECK NO! And here is why…
