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.

One thing I pride myself over with the stuff that I do online is all of the support and patronage that you, my visitors and clients, provide me on a daily basis. And as you know, as well, I spend a lot of time creating more products and more content to help you develop and grow your businesses. But one thing that I do need is your success stories and testimonials.

I don’t make these testimonial up and therefore, I need to (embarrassingly) ask for your stories and your thoughts on the information that you have found here and how it has helped you!

It doesn’t have to be too involved … here are a couple of examples:

“I think you did a great job in organizing the information and the overall design of the site. The videos are very clear and simple to understand (if you already have some basic knowledge) and I like the fact that you added a pdf doc along with it. I also like the fact that your not trying to sell us anything on the videos which is not the case with most internet marketers out there. I also like the fact that you show your own business model in the ecommerce video…”

“Thanks for your encouragement; your advice and experience are so valuable to me…”
