Joe Pulizzi’s Junta42 released the results of the “3rd Annual 2010 Junta42 Content Marketing Spending Survey”.

The main finding is that content marketing spending will continue to rise in 2010: 60% of the surveyed marketers said that they will increase their spending this year. According to the report that’s the third year in a row that marketers will put more budgets into content marketing.

7% of respondents said they are decreasing their spending. The report also found that the average content marketing budgets are 33% of the total marketing budget. In 2008 it was 29%.

An interesting result, for me at least, is that small companies spend more than 2x the amount on content marketing as in comparison to larger companies. Finally, this, I quote, “of all content areas, marketers are increasing their focus on mobile content solutions more than any other area (as a % growth from 2009)”. That growth percentage is 63%, to be precise.

Worldwide Alexa traffic rank: 131. In the US : 58. Number of sites linking in: 33,232. Online: since end 1999. Who are we talking about ? Ezinearticles.com, a website with a design that feels a bit as if Jakob Nielsen designed it (sorry, Jakob, just kidding) but who cares?

Not Christopher Knight, the founder of the website and the number one in article marketing from an Alexa viewpoint, before first competitor Articlesbase.

However, both have another business model and different approach as I’ll explain in later posts. In this post, it’s all about article marketing and Ezinearticles.com since I interviewed Christoper Knight to find out the facts and myths about article marketing and to find out if and why companies should publish or reprint articles from a site such as Ezinearticles.com in their email newsletters, websites, blogs, etc.
