article marketing or social bookmarking which of the two do you prefer most for link building...

I am going to say that out of the two for long term effectiveness that article marketing is better for building links.

Why? because most social bookmarking site's use the nofollow tag so the main benefit with social bookmarking (imo) is the instant traffic you get from it and some times it can be quite a large volume. Most long term effects from social bookmarking sites will fade once the bookmark becomes old.

Article marketing on the other hand build you actual backlinks without the nofollow tag and these links just build over time. Now you can tell which is better, there is also a lot more work involved in good article writing compared to submitting a link to a social bookmarking site.

i think the two are related because both article marketing and social bookmarking increases traffic and rank, creation of article and submit it to different social bookmarking sites.

Writing articles as a way to generate traffic and increase ones page rank has become quite popular over the last couple years.

The great thing about article writing is that once you write an article it is possible to get hundreds of links to your site within a few weeks, which means possible hundreds of new visits.

So I vote the article marketing!

thanks for the replies... i really appreciate it...

There are many advantages of article submissions,

1. Increase the no. of backlinks of your website (which is one-way incoming links towards your site)

2. Your brand name (website name) appears over thousands of article directories

3. It increases the recall value of your brand name

4. You might get some kind of sales through article submitted in the respective directories

So I will go with this one!

social bookmarking is easier to do than on article marketing but the effect of the two will surely benefit your site. It will increase traffic as well as back links and link popularity. So, I think it is better to do both technique since it gives you benefits at all.
