I have to agree with everything Brad advises, as I myself wrote an article recently covering many of the same points. Isn’t it funny how so much of the universe thinks in unison?

I’ll emphasize–

Newbie Article Marketers: round the learning curve swiftly so you can move on to the next phase and put these excellent suggestions of Brad’s to work.

The last thing an author (marketer) wants is to be laboring over the article text. We should all be feeling it… like Dorothy, the lady who writes articles in her sleep. That’s the first sign that you’ve crossed over into the Advanced Article Marketer realm, after all.

Article distribution selectivity makes total sense - that is, if you care about the quality, appearance, and niche-focus of sites where your articles end up. Which you should if you hope that customers from there are going to follow the links back to your site and buy from you.

Brad Callen has provided a perfect plan of attack. Read it, save it and adopt it as your own.

That’s my peanut gallery chime-in of the day. :) Cheers to you.

That’s interesting. I though anchor text was a good thing. Am I wrong?
