I have found articles via keyword search that lead me to EA so that tells me it is good for links and traffic.
point source of what can get backlinks, what conditions - conditions which we also need to be able to ..????
Keep reading and you will find that some people you can trust - others you want to be careful with. It's life ... I heard a saying (not sure how to word it in English): "Not everything that shines is gold".
I love EZA and have got some good traffic from there. I just wish I didn't hate writing so much. Sometimes you have to outsource. D: Article marketing is great for you get ranked for the keyword and can get some good traffic.
I actually hate EA and view them as a necessary evil. I think article marketing is one of the best ways to promote any business and warm customers up to you. However I think EA is an eyesore to look at and a pain to submit for. However I make sure to send them at least one article every few days.
I love ezine because it gives a good source of my traffic. All you need to do is do the right way of submitting your article. By putting a good bio in yourself and putting links in your article. Also, having a unique and effective title is a good way to be recognized by visitors.
The wait to be published put me off. Other article sites are immediate and if the article is original, well written and has a title which attracts readers - they get page 1 in Google SE and sometimes within hours. Nowadays I'm spending more time posting links to articles and republishing articles on AdSense revenue sites - it's a good strategy as my AdSense earnings go up a few days after a decent session of posting. I wish it wasn't so boring though... I'm sure ezine must work as well as the sites I publish on but for the impatient it just won't do...
EA has helped me bring in traffic for a long long time. It is free traffic that I don't have to do anything for after submitting my article. It has helped me make Clickbank sales as well as building up my opt-in list.
Sorry but I'm completely disagree... I have submitted 3 articles EA and sales come in a first day after they there approved
