Hi everyone, I have created a few articles and had them published on ezine. I rarely get hits though, maybe 10 a month for the first month and then nothing. I checked a for sale post elsewhere and this person was receiving almost 2000hits a month from ezinearticles. The odd part was the screenshot of the URL's the links are coming from. It starts with http://i.ezinearticles.com/article-management/ezinearticles/ea..... So i'm wondering, where are the articles being stored? It looks like they're not categorized or anything. The links that come from my ezine articles show the link source as the homepage http://ezinearticles.com ... that's it. Can anyone chime in? Does anyone else have the same structure from their ezine links? How can I achieve the most traffic from ezine? Thanks a lot
You're not using Ezine correctly. The real benefit here is that Ezine ranks high in Google (top 5 results) without ANY backlinks. You're looking to get Google traffic, not traffic from Ezine itself. What you do is pick a long tail keyword to target, use it as your title, in your description and the first paragraph. Then when your article goes live you will have the top spot in Google for that keyword. Getting that spot for your webpage would take quite a bit more work. Do your keyword research and keep in mind that you are after search engine traffic, not ezine traffic.
Thanks for the reply. I understand about ranking the ezine article in google, very true what you stated. But i'm just wondering where those articles are located where the guy is receiving over 2000 hits a mth. Are there different sections on ezine to place articles? do you believe they have a different account? I'm curious about that article-management directory on ezine.
Yea there's all kinds of different categories and sub categories. And then if you write the most articles in a sub category you get a featured spot there as well. I do well over 2,000 views a month from my EZAs.
The biggest key to article marketing is having a title that people will search for. The vast majority of ezinearticles that get seen are being seen by someone who typed nearly an exact match to the title of the article. I would imagine that very few people actually just sit on ezinearticles and read all of their content. Make your titles highly relative. "SEO to build traffic on a website" is much better than "i need me some of them on mine!" Just a quick tip on how to get more views.
wowhaxor is right, it depends greatly on the keyword and you should place it where he says. Another thing is the niche. For example, in some niches I find zero traffic until Google sends visitors to the article. In other niches I find traffic immediately and stays for a long time. And this is not necessarilly traffic from casual surfers to EZA either.
