Article Marketing - "At What Cost?"


The thought and practice of article marketing isn't bad in itself but there can be unwelcome consequences resulting in distrust towards some article submission sites. When one decides to put forth specific knowledge, hard-fought for article marketing knowledge bearing key info to whatever a seeking soul might be searching for, they do so with integrity. No one wants to put bad information out there with the hope of helping someone and end up doing the opposite, at least no one I know. Some article writers (if not most) treat their work as if its personal, taking care that it reads right and delivers the message in such a way leaving no doubt as to its legitimacy, authorship and value. Great pride can be taken in work well done as it carries a special kind of shine.

With the above being as it is you would think article submission sites would have a secure way of knowing what, where and when an article shows up along with the who it's showing up with.Some sort of system code that could safeguard an article's purpose and value.Today a writer can put up an article about any subject with the intent of pointing said article towards a profit or nonprofit website through the use of a link in the bio box.In return the submission site will post the work in the proper category on their site where it can be used for reference and if your lucky enough to have everything working right you just might end up on the very top in search engine heaven.

There are rules and regulations pertaining to the use of submitted articles (copyright included) that are supposed to keep things on the straight and narrow but they don't do enough.What occurs sometimes when someone wants to use the article as reference is they will use the article without any reference as to who authored the piece.This is against the rules, giving no credit and trying to profit off the backs of others.If you have an article showing good position on Google for instance and someone comes along( copy and pasting) sees your article gold piece and deciding it will work, places the article on their own site minus any part of the bio therefore leading whomever comes to the site to believe in their genius and on to securing the benefit for sale.("No Charge")

Some might be flattered by seeing their work out there,but the first time you see another site(not yours) suddenly appearing high on the page with your site dropping below,( if not off altogether) using your words verbatim minus any reference to the author along with the same word press platform, you won't be flattered for long.There really is no remedy for this, not one you'd pursue anyway that was worth your time and effort. Article submission sites will give you what seems like the answer but going that route just leads to going in circles with a lot of work you really didn't bargain for.("No Charge")Shout all you want at that website from Thailand, they won't hear you over the ka-ching! ka-ching!
