Different Online Article Marketing Services
Online article marketing services abound, but they all work on a single common rule, using a network of websites to host content that contain backlinks promoting clients’ businesses. Choosing the right service can be a hit-or-miss affair, however, in that no online article marketing company will disclose its network of thoroughly cultivated websites. For one thing, no one wants their rivals to know which sites are theirs, but the most essential reason is that search engines like Google are sure to penalize the sites for gaming the system.
The charges can range from an outright ban of a long length (in the form of complete de-indexing) to significantly lowering the sites’ ranking, none of which sanctions an online article marketing firm can afford to receive. Although without a list of sites including their networks, there is no way to objectively examine how likely these companies might meet your needs. The only way to get even an inkling of whether such promotional services would work is to bite the proverbial bullet and pay up for a few months’ membership.
It takes a few months to properly evaluate an online marketing service simply because results are often not immediate, even in the best-case scenarios. Search engines like Google use time as a factor in determining relevancy, for an established site is generally more trustworthy than something that was put up just the other night. Consequently, the backlinks found in an article that is hosted by a brand-new site is typically assigned less “weight” by the search engines than those in an article that’s found on an established site. Assume the New York Times versus your personal blog: the same exact article may surface on both, but who do you think Google is going to rank higher – much, much higher?
Of course, it’s all a lot more tricky than this (Google reportedly considers over ninety different factors in its search engine algorithm – which it updates regularly). Nevertheless the point of the matter is that article marketing online is mostly about the integrity of the network, its robustness, so selecting the right service, the right company with the right network, is paramount to accomplishment.
On the contrary, as previously mentioned, there is no way to make an educated guess, as no company will release its network of websites. So to do web-based article marketing, you will need a sufficient amount of money to try out different services for a few months each in order to find the one company that really does work for you. In carrying out this little experiment, care should also be taken to separate the different factors that may be involved in order to accurately determine what is responsible for your success! With patience and a little fortune, marketing articles on the web should lead to increased sales and profits for your business within six months to half a year.
