Why is Ezine Article not getting indexed but my secondary article directories are?

I've started an article marketing campaign and I've seen the same problem on a few of my articles. Here is what I've been doing:

1. Submit main original article to Ezine Articles.
2. The day the article is approved, I submit the article using OnlyWire and ping it with Pingler. Then I submit it to Scribd.
3. The day after the Ezine article is approved, submit the same article to GoArticles with a different title but same body.
4. Day after that I submit to ArticleDashboard and again change title but leave the body.
5. Following day I submit to IdeaMarketers and once again change title but leave body.

I've been having a hard time finding ANY of my Ezine articles in Google, but I do notice them showing up indexed from Article Dashboard or Idea Marketers.

Am I not giving the Ezine Article enough time to get indexed by Google and instead Google is picking up the secondary directories as my "main" article?

This is my first bum marketing campaign that I'm attempting and I tried to follow everything in Petehols journal as far as backlinking the articles go. It seemed to work well for him so I'm not sure why none of my articles are showing up in the search engines.

I'm not new to keyword research or anything so I know that's not the problem. Plus I'm noticing a lot of other web 2.0 sites or articles on the first page for the same keyword so I can't see why I'm not even in the first few pages at least.

Any help or advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated. Also, what are the best do-follow directories and Web 2.0 sites to submit the articles to for backlinks? Hubpages always declines my articles and says if I'm submitting duplicate content that I can't have any outbound links in the article so I can't use them it looks like. Squidoo has been locking a lot of lenses lately so I don't want to take my chance with them either.

Thanks for the help.

 

have you written articles by yourself ?

please explain more about it

thanks

 

Yeah the articles are all mine and original and unique. I outsource the writing but they are unique.

 

sometimes article will take some time, so no need to worry.

 

Yeah that's what I was thinking but I'm just concerned that Google is not going to see my Ezine article as the "main" article since it already indexed some of my secondary directories and the Ezine isn't even showing up.

Has anyone else experienced this, or is this normal? As I mentioned earlier, this is my first go at an article marketing campaign so I hope I'm doing everything correctly.

How long should I wait after an Ezine article is approved before I start submitting it to other directories?

 

Ezine articles lets me know when an article is excepted. It takes any where from a few days to a week,

 

You don't have to wait to be approved from ezine to submit to other article directories. When I am donig writing an article I submit it to 10 directories, back to back. As for your articles not being indexed, ezinearticles takes the longest to get an article published, but ezinearticles is THE best article directory out there so we must be patient.

 

But I was always under the impression that when it's regarding duplicate content (the exact same article submitted to multiple directories) that Google will only actually index one of them and the rest are just basically for backlinks.

This is fine with me as long as it's the ezine article getting indexed and not the rest of them but that hasn't been the case so far.

Or am I wrong about this and they actually index all the articles?

Also, if I modify an article and the Ezine crew has to re-accept it, will this affect my search engine rankings at all or when the article is re-approved will it come back where it was?

 

As far as duplicate content goes, you don't have to worry about it with ezinearticles, only once in a blue moon will the let duplicate content be published.

 

I know they don't let it get published but what I'm talking about is actually getting indexed in Google.

I am getting my articles accepted and published on Ezine just fine but they are not showing up in Google for the keywords that the articles are targetting. Instead, the exact same article from Article Dashboard or Idea Marketers is getting indexed and showing up but those directories don't have nearly the power of Ezine for getting on the first page which is why I don't want those to be the ones to get indexed. I want the Ezine article indexed.

Do you know what I'm tryin to say?

 

You are wasting your time with this. Submit to Ezine, write a new article, submit to Ezine, repeat.

 

It's not that simple. I still need to backlink them in order to make the articles grow in the rankings or they will never touch the first page and using other article directories is a great way to do it.

 

Lately in some cases I've been getting higher rankings with ArticlesBase.com than EzineArticles. Go figure!

As for editing an article, in some cases I've had articles that were accepted long ago be rejected after I edited them, because my article met the EZA criteria when I submitted it a long time ago, but now it doesn't meet their current standards, so just be careful with that.

 

Yeah, I've heard from a few different people that AB is working out much better for them than Ezine is. Not to mention that the approval process is much faster so you get your articles out faster. I think I am going to test it and see how it works out.

 

Just out of curiosity... why are you worried which one gets indexed? the way i read it, all are the same including your back links, except the title. so, in my mind it shouldn't matter which one gets indexed by G. i don't know bum marketing, so this may be a stupid question...

 

EZA is pretty strict and can sometimes be a pain to work with what with their slow approval times and all the rules, but I stick with it because it's supposed to be the 'best' and most effective article directory to submit to. If it's not even getting indexed at all and being outranked by other less strict article directories with MUCH faster approval times that are easier to work with, then there's no point waiting the 7-10 working days EZA takes (in my experience) to approve an article before being able to see results/promote the article etc... Might as well focus my efforts on the directories that actually reward me for my work.

 

Because Ezine has much more power in Google than most of the other directories, so if I'm ranking on the 3rd page for a smaller directory, if I could get the Ezine to index instead it would be much more likely to get on the first page.

 

Got it, thank you... Then I guess the only thing you can do is submit to EA first, do some back linking magic, wait until it gets indexed by G, and only then submit it to the second tier directories... Unfortunately it takes more time this way...

 

I do submit it to EZA first. I guess they just index at different times. I have like 10 more articles that just got approved in the past 2 days that are already on Google. Not sure why the ones that got approved like a week ago are nowhere to be found though. Eh oh well.

 

EZINE is meant more for direct targeted traffic only really any links in the body are nofollow unless you have different links each time in your resource box.

You only really need to social bookmark your articles. To a lot of dofollow social bookmarking sites is good using onlywire but there are so many dofollow pliggs etc you can use to add it to. As well as all your other ways to build backlinks for it.

You just need to find out what your competitors are doing using google to research their site and double up whatever they do
