1) Chooses a product which is generally hot. Example: German language courses aren't. Weight Loss products are. This will initially receive a decent amount of hits in its approval period. 2) Load up your article with at least 2 hot keyword phrases: This means: Through phrase search results you want to be looking at about 30k or less, some decent action on Google keywords a month, and some action on Google Trends. That's just my way so far. Obviously it depends on the sites your competing with in the top 10 google searches, but if that search term is getting between 300-500 searches a day, as explained above - they tend to regularly trickle in after it's initial approval has died down. 3) Don't right 250 words and scrimp it. Write between a 500 to 700 word article. * Load your article with these keywords * This'll really help in terms of your SEO traffic. It'll boost you above other Ezine writers in this search term and most Web 2.0 traffic. 4) Use the last 300 words of your article to sell the product, - not blatantly, but convincingly, and paste them in the resource box. Example: Resource Box Begins: Fortunately, Alli slimming Pills are now the most effective slimming pills available on the market this year....bla bla bla ..followed by a further 200 words of loaded keyword convincing sch-peel. 5) Have 3 anchored text links staggered down the page, including your keyword in one of the links. 6) Have it looking nice and spicy! Something which hopefully keeps the readers eye following down the page. 7) Again: "Make Sure" your Keyword phrases are in there a lot - albeit rotated through different phrases, i.e: a) squirrel training techniques in..(x3) b) how to train your squirrel in..(x3) c) training a squirrel techniques in..(x3) etc - make the article heavy in these keywords and you should be onto a winner. There's still a lot to learn, but to any first time Ezine article writers out there.... Give this method a try, you'll see instant traffic over 70% of the time. It'll die down, but should continue nicely due to your SEO traffic - and - Ezine Publishers also seem to like slightly larger articles. That's just my view so far. Your lander is your puppy ;-p
Interesting strategy. Particularly the part about making the last 300 words of your article in your resource box. I do agree that EZine Publishers are more likely to choose longer articles. One thing I'd like to clarify: Are you saying you make a 500 to 700 word article and then add an additional 300 words in your resource box or do you make a 250 to 400 word article and then add 300 more words to the resource box for a total of 500 to 700?
Yes, you make a 250 - 350 word article and then use the last 200 - 300 words in your resource box flogging the hell out of it in a subtle but convincing manner. This way, the reader reads your article and a link appears someway through the middle of your article, and: in my observation, it helps bump up your conversion rate. Plus, it helps convince them along the way.
Depends on the niche and the way you write an article - But, in my opinion, this is most effective way to market a particular product. For weight loss products - consider the reader. There reading the article because there looking for a solution. Like 99% of people coming to an Ezine page. If you can keep them enticed and subtley convince them of your theory they should click through. Be it searching for Forex products or weight loss products there interested or they wouldn't have turned up. By having a link half way through the article seems to help my conversion although I have no way of telling which if the 3 links they click on in my article.
first of all more keywords won't help ranking higher..for sure second u are not allowed 3 links on ezinearticles "make the article heavy in these keywords and you should be onto a winner." it will get your article rejected and won't help with search engines..especially Google
what the hell are you on about? what do you think google is about? yes you are that's BS my friend - where did you get that from?
lol ..u still believe in keyword density right? and read here: http://blog.ezinearticles.com/2008/06/ezinearticles-editorial-guidelines-updated.html#more-1209 what YOU say is BS
I agree with petyard, to many keywords is keyword stuffing and ezine will reject your article, i have had many rejected cause of overuse of keywords, you need to watch your keyword denisity, keep it 5% or under.
Cool. I'll try that. I think it's good to experiment with different strategies and this does make some sense to me theoretically.
I've had 13 live articles for about 4 months and about 10,000 hits, is it good or below average? A couple of them got 3,500 views each, and the others around 200.
I think your misinterpreting me somewhat, When I refer to making your article keyword heavy, I'm not talking about: "So, training squirrels techniques in sitting, or teaching squirrel training techniques in fetching, or teaching squirrel training techniques in jumping.." etc (for the next 500 words) I'm talking about deciding which keyword phrases/phrases your targeting and putting this keyword phrase/phrases in at least 4 times. In the first line, 2 or 3 more times throughout the body, and in the resource box - preferably as your anchored text link, or if you have your domain name or blog as this keyword phrase, all the better:i.e "Click: http//:squirrel-training-techniques.com Now!" (This way publishers can stick it in there email campaigns) If your writing approximately 600 words, then that won't read like your constantly repeating your keyword phrase and won't get you rejected. Well - it hasn't got me as yet. The reason I wrote this thread is that I have a 100 articles up now, and wanted to just show you one way which is working for me, not to get into the semantics of keyword density writing. The main point in fact was regarding the resource box. Writing approxiamtely 250 words in here where you can really plug your product with two, three or four links staggered down the page. See Ezine Editorial guidelines on Links: Hope this has cleared things up. It's just my 2 cents, I'm not trying to flog you a dead horse or rant and rave about what you should or shouldn't do. It's just one example of writing an ezine article.
I would say that's pretty good, hopefully you've converted (made some sales). I'm by no means a guru in this, in fact I'm still far from on the way to keeping my conversions over 50% when I'm not offering them something for "Free". Any tips your end would be most welcome!
I was told you really want them in and out of any article place so make everything short and sweet Don't go into details make them want more if you give them too much they will prolly read it and click a google ad off of Ezine. I'm still learning about the resource box tho
Sure, whatever floats your boat! My highest converting article is about 260 words with a simple resource box: Click Here for your Free Ebook However, with the method I'm on about I seem to get tonnes more initial views in its 1st couple of days, plus (and I've tested this somewhat with same keyword articles but shorter),- it'll rank higher in google. That's what I've found.
this man is trying to help all you newbies and yall are bashing him! The forum fucking sucks now. Thanks for your tips, this is the same strategy i use and it works
I have never heard of using this method I guess the only way to find out if it improves conversions is to test it out. A new job for me to do now this weekend, I will post up my stats after I have finished testing.
Cheers for the back up! It does work and if you can master how your ezine article converts (which I'm working on) + your landing page or site is set up correctly it can be very powerful. I'm since discovering this as we speak. My first article like this had over 1000 views in 24 hours and is trickling down to 20 a day. Took me 100 articles to discover this and that's why I'm giving something back to this place as this is where I've learned it all along the way. It's not my full time job yet, but this way is surely helping. I look forward to seeing your stats. Make it a good article though. I spend about 1.5 to 2 hours on one knowing 80% it's gona pack a punch in the first couple of days. * Make Make Make Sure * though it's a HOT niche. You know what I mean. Penis Extenders , Weight Loss, niches like this always receive a rapid amount of hits - and if you get your keywords set up right, the traffic keeps coming in. I find anyway. Good Luck!
