Within the business of Internet marketing, growth is what you're looking for. Think about writing an eBook.

And both are optimized to contain your keywords for seo purposes. But the relationship between article marketing and press releases ends there.Article Marketing is the distribution of well-written, informative articles to article directories in the hopes that they will get syndicated by or reprinted on other websites and blogs. Article marketing helps with link popularity for this reason.Article Marketing helps with branding you as an expert in your field and can drive traffic directly to your website if readers like the article.Press Releases are written to announce a newsworthy event.
