To have a shot at getting listed in the "Most Viewed" section, you have to try and get an article approved on Friday evenings before EA closes so that it can sit all weekend. Then, if your title and keywords are good, there is a chance you can get a couple of thousand views just over the weekend. This is why I started a thread awhile back about trying to figure out the best time to submit articles so that they can get approved Friday evenings. The problem is, is that they approve my articles in several different time spans. Some are approved in exactly 24 hours, some are approved in 10 hours, and I even had one approved in 18 minutes! So, with that said, yes, you have to get lucky.
It seems almost impossible to time it so that this happens because like you say, the wait time is different each time.
My wait time is extremely short lived. I can typically ram things in right before the buzzer. It's a little easier to do during the week since Friday is obviously a busier time.
i agree.. pretty hard to pinpoint exact time you need to submit it to get accepted so it could be on top positions over the weekend. I've had articles accepted on Fridays but no where near the thousand views it had more or less a few hundred.
Well I did get lucky. I somehow nabbed the top spot in the Blogging section for the weekend. Would this help at all? So far, 7 views xD
The amount of views you'll get depends on the popularity of the niche. Business, health, etc. are very popular and can get you a ton of views.
Depending upon how well the product is doing to start with I would usally post around 10+ articles and then add around 2-3 per day for the rest of the month ending up with around 50+
Here's another question: Are your output rates different during the start of the week? I know for sure that some people push out a large quantity during the weekend, and the articles get reviewed during the start of the week.
so wait how are you getting people to click on your affiliate stuff if you're writing so many articles?
That's the (main) point of EZineArticles.com articles (although they also give some SEO benefit.) To get people to click on your affiliate links (or more accurately links to your landing pages which then link to your affiliate stuff.) You put these links (up to 2) in the resource box of each article you write.
But why do a keyword research? submitting articles isn't just for SEO? maybe some traffic but mainly SEO right? another question? if you guys submit 2 -3 articles a day, do you submit these to different directories ?
EZineArticles.com can be a big traffic producer - In fact with EZineArticles - it's mostly about the traffic, not so much about the SEO. With article marketing in general though, yes it's mostly about SEO - I use Submit Your Article, ISnare etc... those submissions are mostly for the links. EZineArticles are for the traffic most importantly & the links as a bonus.
thanks for the tip man,,, but i'd be scare to post an article related to ezinearticles, wouldn't it rank higher than my landing pagE?
Ranking high in the search engines is the point of EZineArticles.com - that's why they are a good place to submit to. Let's say you have a landing page that is ranked #9 on Google.com for the search term "weight loss diets" (according to http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/ people really search for this rather redundant phrase) and then you create an EZineArticles.com article with the title "weight loss diets" that ranks #1 on Google.com for "weight loss diets" - if it links back to your landing page (in your resource box) - this is a very good thing for you. Now you have two pages in the top 10 instead of 1. (no, I'm not saying you are necessarily going to rank #1 on Google.com for your search phrase with your article, but it does happen sometimes if you get lucky)
I can't get two links into it, it says resource 1-3 when I put something in resource one, and then another in resource 2, only one link will show up. do you mean I can post a maximum of two in just one resource box?
