First what is "article spamming" ?

The internet, or everything revolutionary, is always changing. When something new came out, everybody tried to imitate and repeat its success.

Initially it was all right. Then it became too much. Those who are directly involved found a way to address the problem. Then as soon as people realized, what work before would not necessarily work now.

It was not too long ago that those who surf the internet had found out that article marketing was seen to be a very effective strategy to get traffics, page ranking, back links and among other things.

Due to that fact, articles directory websites (websites hosting people's articles) mushroomed over the internet. Then the term "articles spamming" surfaced. We already have email spamming and now its the articles' turn.

Suddenly everyone began to submit articles after articles. Not because they want to share their ideas and information with everybody else, but because by doing that the link they include in their web page would be recognized by the search engines. This is because of the factors mentioned above.

Sooner than expected, there are too much "junk articles" over the internet. A majority of the articles did not really make sense but had the right number of "keywords" making them search engine friendly.

Authentic surfers who found the links over the search engines visited the articles pages hoping to find the information they needed. Too bad most of the information failed to impress them. The flow of the language was robotic and the information were actually duplicates of what they had came across before. These are what we called "articles spamming".

But the search engines companies did not give up easily. They didn't want people to loose trust in their listings. So they changed how their search engine spiders work. As a result, most "spamming articles" failed to make it on the search engines. So people started to believe again in search engines and perhaps loose their confidence in searching information from articles directory.

The morale of the story is, do remember that doing something easy and fast is not always the best and effective solutions. Perhaps it worked before but it might not work this time around.
