Now - i'm goign to be honest with you. I was reading this ONLY as a little market research on a Jewish Dating Site affiliate site we're throwing up and have been goofing off with for a few years and have FINALLY put up a few meager pages here.

I keep getting different derivations of this question via email, see it asked a lot in different serendipitous online spots, and got a note this morning "correcting" me on the proper use and purpose of article submissions. "Bob" told me that my article marketing strategy was not only "wrong, it was misleading people on the right way to write articles for backlinks".
Of course this is a totally specious and silly argument, as there are FAR better and easier ways today to get backlinks than writing articles,( link bait, social networking strategies, etc) article "links" are somewhat discounted to begin with anymore, (and have been for a few years) and they are TRULY not part and parcel of why I recommend you write articles in the first place. For me – and for the most part – article marketing is a MERCENARY business. Read More
I‘ve covered a whole LOT of article marketing concepts on this blog (and in other spots) and STILL believe it the absolute easiest way for ANYONE – regardless of their skill level, to make money online in rapid fire turn around time. It’s interesting because I got an email from someone the other day – who said a whole bunch of off the wall kind of stuff – (and in only quasi understandable english) and that ended by stating he wanted ME...to coach HIM – (for FREE) and IF he was finally able to make some money (he hadn’t made a dime in 7 years according to his email) then, and ONLY then, he would agree to pay me.
Now, that’s a great offer and all, and I have to admit – it WAS tempting to try to squeeze a few more hours out of the day to offer a complete stranger some complimentary coaching and cross my fingers that he was able to sort of end the 7 year drought, but after tossing it around for a few sleepless night, I kind of decided I was going to have to pass..:-)
I actually sent this guy a pretty edgy, mean spirited reply (which I NEVER do) – in which I basically said – if you haven’t made money in 7 years – you are PROBABLY in the wrong field and it might be a good time to start thinking about a career as a bullfighter – or bellydancer or something less intellectually taxing. And of course, a few minutes after hitting send, my guilty conscience kicked in and I felt really guilty and promised myself I’d stop checking my email after 6 tequila shots. Read More
