There is a disadvantage many marketers may be unaware of to using some of the article directories as suggested. A recent blogger that I read mentioned a "massive article campaign for back linking". Many of these article directories, including the mighty Ezine Articles, are using the html link attribute "nofollow" meaning that they do not give away any link "juice". Their links are worthless. Ironically the blog post was taken in it's entirety from an Ezine Articles submission. The blogger was willing to give away a backlink to this Ezine Articles submission in this blog post. My question is did he also post it to the social bookmarking sites to broaden the exposure of the blog post? I hope not in this case. Using an article that is not yours on your blog or your own article directory and then posting it to the social bookmarking sites is called "source hopping". It can get you banned from the social bookmarking sites. Of course, the original author needs to notice the infraction first and complain about it. I would also ask why the blogger found it necessary to post non-unique content to his blog in this age of "Google requires uniqueness". There is a solution that will supplement your back-links without having to write lengthy articles and submit them to the article directories as frequently, social bookmarking using sites that do not use the "nofollow" attribute. Provide title, description, tags, and the url and you will have a collection of perfectly good back-links to the article that you are targeting. It takes me about 30 minutes to get 30 solid PR 4 - 7 backlinks from the social bookmarking sites. The resulting traffic to Moxie Drive Expressions Article Directory is proof that the bookmarking process works. Using Code to Change Your MySpace Fonts has been read nearly 8,000 times since it was submitted in May of 2007. How would you like an article that got read a thousand times a month? Social bookmarking is the bomb...

Now, doesn't that just suck...even with moderated comments. I have removed the rel="nofollow" tag to your comment in the blog html on my hosted site Matt.
Good thing I know something about html...

I just signed up for ezine, hub pages, and squidoo hoping to do some article marketing and generate traffic for my blog and income for some new ideas. This is something to think about and plan how to link the pages, it won't be as easy as I had hoped, well I knew it wouldn't be easy but it may require some tricky maneuvering.
