Is It Time to Give Up Free Article Marketing?

Every Wednesday at noon, I post on BloggingTips.com (BT). Today I wrote about free article marketing, as in, is it time to give it up as a marketing strategy.

As many of you know, I literally wrote the book (ebook) on article marketing entitled Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Article Marketing: Results of a 30-day Article Marketing Experiment. And, while I do think it still has its place, it's a method I'm using less and less, as I discuss in my BT post. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
