Article marketing can be a quite useful and effective way for to generate free traffic to your blog or website without having to spend a dime. If you are any kind of authority on your niche, it doesn’t take too much effort and energy to compile articles for submission to article directories online.

Your articles also gain more prominence over time with the search engines and if others link to your articles and share it, you will gain even more visitors to your website.

The problems with article marketing for some is that most articles have to inevitably be stuffed with filler content just to meet the word minimum that most article directories have. This is nothing against them as in order to stay informative, they must hold a certain amount of content per article. This also serves as quality control.
