A major aspect of article marketing is digging for backlinks. Building backlinks is a tedious part of article marketing and takes a great amount of time. When you produce an article, your goal is to receive traffic from search engines, and search engine traffic depends directly on backlinks.

Google makes it public knowledge that their search engine rankings are based on incoming links. In general terms, the more links that point to your article, the higher it is ranked in the search results. The keys to article traffic are good content and lots of incoming links.

These days, article marketers submit their articles to several websites, blogs, and directories in hopes to obtain backlinks. A beginner webmaster may think that submitting your articles to other websites is to get clicks, but the seasoned webmasters know that backlinks are more important than a few random clicks.

Acquiring backlinks was much easier than it is today. Google wants to make sure all websites acquire their backlinks naturally, so they implemented the "rel=nofollow" tag.  What the rel=nofollow does is discredit the backlink in the eyes of Google. In short, if you are spending hours submitting your articles to sites that use the rel=nofollow tag, you are wasting your time.

Whenever you submit an article, take the time to view the source code of the site you are submitting to. If you see rel=nofollow tags, move on, as it is probably not worth your time.

Mooker.com allows user submissions, and does not use the rel=nofollow tags on any of the content or author box. When you subnmit to Mooker, you are guaranteed you will be linked and the juice will flow from it. By submitting enough articles to Mooker.com, you can obtain many one way backlinks. This kind of promotional advantage is priceless.
