Article marketing is my favorite form of lead generation, and I imagine it will stay that way for some time to come. The biggest thing with article marketing, and one of the reasons I think the market is so wide open, is that article marketing doesn’t produce massive numbers of leads – and that’s what so many people are looking for.

We get bombarded with ads for leads for cheap, or leads 1000 at a time – but we should all know by now that they are very poor quality leads. But with article marketing, the leads are a much higher quality lead. They are, in my testing, as much as 10 times more responsive than search engine – generated leads – and that is huge.

People have been trying for years to outsmart the search engines – and they really don’t need to – they just need to write articles.

Anyhow, that is the way I feel about it.

So why are article – marketing leads so productive? I think that one of the reasons is that article marketing prescreens the leads before they get to you – the person reading the article has the option of just clicking out, you don’t get charged for the click, like with ppc.

I think also that there is a psychological impact of reading your article, then reading your squeeze page – by the time they get a few emails from you, they have really developed a bond with you – and I think that that is real important.
