Article marketing has become all the rage for internet marketers. If you want back-links, sales or traffic, articles provide a simple method for almost anybody to achieve these goals. Knowing how to use articles successfully is the key weapon in an affiliate's arsenal.

Because of the ease of the method, it has proved hugely popular among newbies. A single article submitted to many directories can result in a flood of traffic, back-links and warmed-up visitors. Best of all, the method is free.

With the rise of article marketing, we have also seen a rise in the number of tools available to make our strategy as painless as possible. Many of these tools offer one-click submission solutions, allowing you to send a single article to hundreds of directories.

One such tool is called ArticleMarketer, and is the subject of this review. Is it much cop?

The Good:

1. ArticleMarketer allows you to submit unlimited articles.
2. You can schedule when your articles are released if you so wish.
3. An accessible user-friendly interface makes this simple for newcomers.
4. Your article will continue to be submitted to new directories.
5. Incredibly fast back-links on Google. Get indexed in record time.
6. Fast way to get traffic to your site.

The Not-so-Good:

1. Submission isn't immediate. Firstly your article has to be reviewed.
2. Sometimes the reviewers can be quite strict. I've had to re-write more than a few articles before.
3. Only one author name is allowed.

Conclusion:

ArticleMarketer is an excellent solution for marketers of all levels. It is simple to use and provides comprehensive exposure for your articles. Consequently, you can expect fast indexing, immediate traffic and a page rank boost.

However, if you lack patience you may want to be issued a word of caution - all articles are subject to review and some will require editing on your part before they are finally submitted. Also ensure you choose your author name carefully, as there is no option for using additional pen names.
