For some this is old news and for others it will be the first time you have heard about it.
If you haven’t heard, Google recently changed its search algorithm.
In very simple terms, Google has decided to ‘penalize’ the websites / blogs that copy other people’s content.
I recently found a top-performing site that was copying my content (and many other peoples content) and it was ranking very high in the search engines.
Google have put their foot down and said ‘no more’. They are no longer tolerating such activity.

We know that, don’t we?
So why do so few of us actually do it?
Here are my views:
1. The Fear of Rejection
My very first guest blog was accepted and published by the mighty Darren Rowse over at problogger.net. I couldn’t believe it. He wrote back within 24 hours of asking and said ‘yes’.
There are numerous factors that determine whether you are successful on-line or not. Factors like getting enough traffic to your site, having the correct SEO set-up, having a great sales page.
So just imagine:
you are the best copywriter in the world and you have created a phenomenal sales page

your site receives the highest traffic for any website on the net
Article Marketing can be the one key you need to finally become successful in Internet Marketing. Internet Marketing and Article Marketing go hand in hand because using articles to market yourself, your website or your affiliate products is absolutely crucial in creating a complete Internet marketing solution.
Woo-hoo, you have a website / blog with some banner adverts, you’ve completed some Internet Marketing, Search Engine Optimization and you are on your way to becoming a millionaire (some adverts and people will have you believe).
