I don't really understand how some ezine articles will rank higher in google than other articles competing for the same keyword. I some-what understand how SEO works but as far as ezine goes how and why do some articles rank higher on google's search engine pages? -Realistically the only way you have control over the SEO aspect of article submitting is the keyowrd density in the article am I right? Obviously having unique content is important to. What other factors come into play when ranking your articles higher?
If your article will well optimized for the keyword u want to rank for, then all u need is backlinks, try building backlinks to your article, also vary your anchor text when u r linking from other sites.
buy some "software" to ping the article about 200 times a day!!!! blog about it and sumbit to social sites using your keyword!!!! make sure everytime you talk about your article and leave a backlink - PING it and if its a blog then "trackback"
Mention keyword in title, description, within content, and get backlinks to the article with your keyword as anchor text. Good keyword optimization and backlinks will get an article to rank well in the search engines.
You said it yourself and didn't even see the problem. The query for the same results is more then likely your problem. You stated ->articles competing for the same keyword. think about it. Google will only return at max 2 of the same domain results in a single page. If not, you can write ten articles that are better then everyone else and have your ten articles on the same page. Get it? Write no more then 2 articles based on the same keyword and move on. Too many people are trying to gang up on one article base. You will have more chances to write the exact same article on different article bases and get them all index on the same page. it can and has happened. Hope this helps.
Ok so this is what I gather so far... -Good keyword density -Put keywords in title -Ping your articles -More backlinks Does it help to get backlinks to that article by using backlinks form the same article website? So for example if I make my original article on Ezine articles, then keep making more articles on Ezine articles and have all of my future articles link to back to my original article, can I expect my original article to rank higher in search engines? I know getting backlinks from other article websites will help but how useful is it to get "internal links" from the same website. Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing!
Ping your article and submit them to social bookmarking sites, re-ping them.. If the competition is not to high for that keyword than your article should have ranked well on the big G!..
It's best to get backlinks to your articles from different sources. I am not exactly sure if you can link an article on Ezinearticles to another article on this same site as I haven't done this. Maybe someone can confirm this. I do know that getting backlinks from different sources will help rank your article such as other article directories, web 2.0 sites, social bookmarking, etc. Try to get some high quality backlinks too. Also how competitive your keyword is will also determine how hard or easy it will be to rank your article in a good position in Google.
I think its still work.. Pinged article get more easily indexed then non pinged one.. (I have personally observed it)
Actually the pinging advice does work - or at least it used to work. Its not very etichal but some Article Directories take in consideration how much an article have been viewed for ranking, therefore pinging increase just that. I dont know why they dont improve such ranking algorithm because people may abuse it but it is what it is I have to say... We live and we learn!
actually Ezine I am pretty sure doesn't count bot visits. And pinging articles is useless, it doesn't build links to the articles, is a stupid advice..anyway is your time,guys, not mine Pinging doesn't even guarantee that the article will be indexed, without enough PR juice, you can ping it 10000 times, it won't be indexed
Also, link from inside ezine count as they are dofollow. If you have a most watched article it will show up below any related article. That helps spread pagerank.
Ezinearticle has a high pr and the search engines crawl them very often has compared to other ordinary sites. This site is constantly updated one reason why search engine likes them. To rank higher on this site you just have to use related keywords along with your main primary keyword.
they rank high because affiliate marketers build links to their ezine articles instead of building links to their own websites..that's why. Which is very stupid indeed. not because is constantly updated..
petyard... Ranking an ezine article is a lot easier than ranking your own website and if you've been there you should know it already. In the aff. marketing playground we're all looking fast and constant traffic, hence ranking your ezine articles is a more lucrative way than trying to rank your own domain which can take months or even years. The competition is pretty tough on most keywords ... Al.
Good advise! Frankly speaking, if it's so easy to rank your website, then there will not be any article dir anymore. There's a reason why article directories are standing strong.
