But the thing I've realized is that a few bad seeds doesn't stop it from being a good, cost-effective (shall we say it? free!) way to promote oneself, one's website, one's blog, and one's products or services.I agree about writing whatever you want and giving a voice to the words in your head. Some of the best articles for link backs and for sales of my e-books have often come from articles that I simply felt passionate enough about writing and didn't want to wait to find a paying market for. Since they were so relatively easy and fast to write, it made sense to use them for article marketing purposes.

I have to remind myself sometimes because it's easy to get so focused on the actual work that you forget to promote yourself. @ Summer - ouch! Not a pleasant experience. I have a Google alert set up for my articles and I find those people and leave comments with my attribution. :) @ Barbara – you are such a prolific blogger that it’s no wonder you need a couple more hours in the day, Barbara. :)

However, I've found lately that some of the new bloggers who are in it for a quick buck, have a habit of grabbing articles and not linking or attributing them. I discovered that neither the article site, or the blogging host would enforce the linking - and the blogs were set up so you cannot find or contact the blogger. In one case, Ezine articles accused me of plagarizing my own article which had been reprinted without proper attribution. If the links don't go with the article, then it is sort of pointless to give your work away. It's too bad that a few inconsiderate people have reduced the value of this tool.
