Bill Platt and I are competitors. We both write articles and do article marketing consultations for clients. But we are also good friends and we discuss ideas and help each other learn more about how to provide better quality for our clients.

In one of his articles he does a very good job of displaying the history of article marketing. it’s a very good read so I wanted to share it here once again.

Article marketing has been considered a useful method of promotion on the Internet, since the very early days of the Internet. By writing an informative article, writers have been able to get their sales message read by millions of online consumers, through their resource box that follows their articles. Until 2005, the whole point of article marketing was for the purpose of attracting huge numbers of readers as a result of the articles being published in ezines that had a large reader base.
