As of today I have wiped The Free Traffic System from my systems. Man their system sucks and the quality of the articles there have never been that good. So I would say it’s not been a very memorable experience.

My main problem with FTS is the poor quality of content due to over spinning. They also have no other way of complaining than through support.

If you wish to complain about an author you have to keep detailed info you can send through their support system. There should be check boxes and option buttons that allow us to point out spam and crap.

Overly Spun Articles

This is what I’m talking about: In the months since FTS opened their new system I have installed their plugin on 10 of my blogs. In that time I have been presented with 1954 articles over my 10 blogs and have only accepted 11.

I even deleted two of the those articles after the fact, so really only 9 articles were published. The articles I did accept were of poor quality but I was hurting for content at the time.

Get Far Too Many Non Relevant Articles

I am not really sure why they allow us to specify a category as I seldom get articles that match the category.

Example: My gardening blog gets internet marketing articles and my article marketing sites get gift related articles or better yet, gardening articles.

Just this morning I went though dozens of articles on one of my gardening sites and never found a single garden related article.

Support System Should Be For Tech Problems

The support system should be for technical problems, not reporting problems about authors spamming the system. That should be done with in each article we view.

Avoid The Free Traffic System

In my opinion you should avoid FTS and put your efforts into finding a better network like:

Article Marketing Automaton or SEO Link Vine or ArticleRanks

Article marketing is just another way of saying content creation and distribution. It’s a great way to make money while you work from the comfort of your own home.

I am sure you’ve heard content is king and it’s true if you have done a couple of things.

First you should have already done your keyword research to know your best keywords. Secondly, you need to write helpful or informative content your readers will want to read. Finally you need something to point your readers to. An affiliate link or a landing page you can presell your readers on before they move on to your affiliate page.

Staying focused on your niche as well as the topic at hand so you don’t lose your reader.

Note: Having your own website is an option and one I use but it’s not actually a requirement for financial success. You just need to have something to sell and a place to point your readers, called an affiliate site, using an affiliate link.

Publish To Article Directories

Having your own website is NOT a requirement for successful article marketing. There are plenty of article directories available to publish your articles to.

The key to success with article marketing using article directories is to find directories that accept articles with affiliate links in them. All you need is one affiliate link per article but some directories won’t accept affiliate links in the articles you publish.

Write Guest Blog Posts

Using your favourite search engine look for blogs that accept guest posting. Of course you want to find the bloggers in your niche as you don’t want to try publishing a non relevant article. That would just lead to your article not being published or accepted.

The Free Traffic System

Personally I have a number of websites but I like to write articles using The Best Spinner to create spin code and then publish the articles, code and all, to The Free Traffic System.

Your article will be presented to about 30 bloggers based on the categories you select while publishing and the affiliate link you leave behind points people to an affiliate page where you have the opportunity to make money.

Get Your Own Guest Bloggers

If you choose to have your own blog you can get others to publish their articles on your blog. This is one of the methods I use to get more unique content, that’s niche related of course, for my websites.

It works great because the authors get a one way link back to the webpage of their choosing for their work and that leads to more visitors and possibly increased page ranks for their webpages.

A few other article networks you can write for are:
