Effective Article Marketing for SEO
Article marketing is a popular website promotion method that website owners use to boost their websites link popularity, and it’s still somewhat effective. However, as with nearly all automated or semi-automated link building methods…. the effectiveness has declined, at least in part, due to search engines (seemingly) lowering the value of links obtained from “link hubs” such as general web-directories and article directories.

Reinforced Link Building
I consider myself pretty “savvy” when it comes to link building methods and search engine optimization, and I am a frequenter of webmaster forums… but I don’t often hear too much about what I’ve coined “reinforced link building”. It probably has a technical name, but since I don’t really see too many people talking about it, I don’t know the given moniker.
Google and Paid Links
Inbound links are pretty important for websites that hope to rank well in the SERPs (search engine results pages) and links from “authority” websites or so-called high ranking websites give more bang for the buck, so to speak. Taking that into consideration, it’s no wonder that website owners are clamoring about Google’s decision, and subsequent actions, that are clearly making their long-standing policies against paid linking known.
