Article Marketing and Penguin

[ClickIt]

Can sites like Ezine.com and Articlebase.com still be used to create good links?

I have heard since Penguin, that article submission sites like those don't work anymore for link building.

I have a client who can't put new content on his site and will rely on link building, what is the best way to go about it??

Thanks.

those are garbage links and treated as such by Google. best advice is tell him not to link to his homepage ever unless he feels like unwinding all those links that were created if he gets penalized.

So what would you recommend as a good link building strategy?

Syndicating content has BOTH Panda and Penguin risks if you don't know what you are doing.

Is the existing content on the site worth of links? Will it attract quality links? Depending on the quality of the content, you may have a tough time building links.

If you're able to tell a little about why the client can't put new/updated content on their site, we might be able to help brainstorm ways to convince the client that it needs to be done or compromises that can be worked out.

His main company will only allow 4 pages on his site.  I am working with him to try and let him put a blog on the site.  If they won't allow it, I will have to stick to off site marketing and link building.

Kickass content on your own site.  Content that will make people say WOW! and immediately share with their friends.

Huh?  Who are these guys?  They need a kick in the pants.
