I am looking to start getting into Affiliate marketing and running my own sites. I realize people say Ezine is good to get backlinks, but I do not understand the concept.. What are some good tactics for promoting these articles, do i put affiliate links in them or link to my site? Or on getting them accepted, etc. Thanks for any information you can give! Also what are the URLs for good sites to submit to, and also they should all be unique on each site, correct? Thanks! Miles
Depends on what you want to rank in the SERPs. If you want your website to rank high, then link to your site in the articles. If you want people to find your articles, put your affiliate link in them and hope they show up in the SERPs. With that said, it's a lot easier to get a site to rank by building links with articles than it is to get individual articles to rank.
You want your backlinking as natural as possible otherwise google will see the fake back links and ban you. Sounds bad and it happens a lot.
I hope to see better answers here...I am also interested in particular site to put articles on. Article marketing is more of an SEO topic, though.
Ezine is definitely a great source of building quality backlinks to your website, but they are also very strick on ther term of service when posting articles to them. Do i put affiliate links in them or link to my site? Ezine does not accept articles with direct affiliate links embedded in the article. It is better to use your website URL in your anchor text, also you may want to include the url of different pages of your website as this can build quality backlinks to different pages on you website and imporve your ranking in Google. Only use links once maybe twice in the body of the article. You can use the resource box to further promote your website or product
1. No. Do not put affiliate links in your EZA submissions. 2. Yes. Link to your site. 3. Write good articles. That's about it.
You can put an article on ezine but you cannot include an affiliate link. It is best to have another articel for each site (especially for ezine) but it is possible to rewrite your article if you want to. You are allowed to put links in the article body and in the resource box, but don't spam! Maybe you should read this before you get started http://ezinearticles.com/editorial-guidelines.html
No dear ezine is not a good place for back links you will not get back links from this site. Yeah but you can get traffic easily from ezine, because ezine approve only quality article so visitor gives priority to ezines' article.
You just need to create article and submit it on ezine article with a link to your site and once it published it will get counted to your backlinks.
Article marketing's used to widen target market exposure and improve SE ranking of your site's pages for your target keywords. How does it help widen target market exposure of your site's pages? High SE rankings of top article directories for a lot of keywords under a lot of niches means when your target market searches for information on SEs, they'll most likely go to top ranking sites, which would be mostly article directories with published article pages about such topics. There's this thing called Alexa rank. Top article directories have high Alexa rankings. Plus: a lot of site owners syndicate published article content from these top article directories as members. This means their readers are also your target market (since they chose to publish your article content on their sites). So, their existing readership becomes your ssite's potential readers. And: some article directories syndicate published article content as RSS feeds. This means more relevant sites will present your published article content. Also: some article directories publish submitted and approved article content on their distribution list, which consists of other ezine publishers, RSS sources, blogs, sites, announcement boards, mailing lists, etc. How does it improve SE ranking of your site's pages for your target keywords? There's this thing called domain age. Most top article directories have been around for quite some time. There's this thing called domain authority. Top article directories have loads of positive domain authority. There's this thing called PR. Article directories have loads of PR power. When you place your target keyword-anchored backlink on your article and it gets published by a top article directory: some of the power mentioned above's shared to your linked page. Affiliate links as keyword-anchored backlinks on submitted articles? Most top article directories don't accept affiliate links as keyword-anchored backlinks of submitted articles. Some do, like GoArticles. Either do your research and just do it, or just don't = just link to your page which provides added useful information/advice and with an affiliate link somewhere visible. Easy 10-Step Custom Plan to Maximize Your Article Marketing Campaigns for Your Affiliate Marketing Ventures For Each Affiliate Marketing Venture Improved Via Article Marketing Campaigns 1) Do keyword research and keyword competition analysis for your niche. Get the top 10 most searched keywords with the least possible competition. 2) Write 5 unique, freshly written articles about your target keywords (different combinations of 2 target keywords out of your 10 target keywords per article). Attention, interest, usefulness/helpfulness, curiosity, and call to action. That's how your article should be written from top to bottom (from article title, description, 3/4 of the body, last 1/4 of the body, then the bio/resource box). Get rid of boring article bio's like "John Doe has been providing useful advice about natural diabetes remedies and blah blah...". Bio boxes, in my opinion, should be written like the call to action part of sales copies, and so should the rest of the article = it should be written like a sales copy though a soft selling one. Also, give them useful/helpful information/advice, but don't give everything to them = get them curious enough to click those links on your bio box, thinking they're going to get more useful/helpful information/advice which can help solve their problems, ease their burden, end their pain and suffering, eliminate their worries, destroy their enemies, etc. etc. etc. (it actually must). 3) Write 5 unique, freshly written articles about your target keywords, but keep in mind to provide more or new useful/helpful information/advice compared to what you've written in the previous 5 articles mentioned above. Write it down in the same order described above. The call to action section of your article should have keyword-anchored affiliate links. You'll use these articles as pages of your site. 4) Use links of your newly uploaded pages as URLs to use for keyword-anchored backlinks on bio boxes of your 5 articles. Use different combinations of these URLs per bio box of each article. 5) Use your target keywords as text anchors for backlinks on bio boxes of your 5 articles. Use different combinations of these text anchors per bio box of each article. 6) Manually spin each of your 5 articles from top to bottom (including bio box and links). Use 2 phrase variances for each of 2 phrases per sentence, 2 sentence variances per sentence, and 2 paragraph variances per paragraph as spinning strategy. This will produce 50-hundreds of highly comprehensible versions, each 70-90% unique. 7) Now you have 250+++ unique articles for your article marketing campaign. Submit each one to the top directories following this strategy: 1st version to directory 1, 2nd version to directory 2, 3rd version to directory 3, and so on until you submit the 250th version to directory 250. Do this across a period of say a month. Randomize submission frequency. This'll mean organic/natural backlink building, all with unique content, via article marketing. 8) While doing number 7, upload new useful content to your site. Perhaps create free downloadable ebooks with a soft sell sales copy and your affiliate link. Don't forget to build your mailing list and feed them with useful/helpful information/advice/updates via weekly newsletters, of course with a soft sell section and your affiliate link. 9) Move on to next affiliate marketing venture and repeat steps 1-7 above. 10) While doing number 9, implement backlink building campaigns done via different methods, like forum marketing, blog marketing, Web 2.0 marketing, etc. etc. etc. Sounds like a hellotta work for 1 person, huh? Don't worry = you can make your money work for you in cost-effective ways. This means outsourcing these tasks to others who can write and perform data entry tasks. Hope this helps. Best, Marx
You can submit your affiliate link to ezine articles but you have to make sure it is masked and forwarded. I been masking my affiliate link and submitting my articles to ezine articles and never had a problem. You don't want to submit a naked affiliate link with your article..you won't get accepted. To mask your affiliate link, you can go to godaddy and buy a .info domain for 1dollar. and then an the backoffice you will be able to mask and forward the link.
That sure is a lot of work! The concept is sound from an SEO standpoint, but to me it just seems cheesy that Google would find any of that important. It suck that anyone could make a living like that. I think affiliate marketing has become a cheese factory.
When you use EZA you get 2 advantages: - You get visitors direct from your article. - You get backlinks from your article, then after some links your keywords will rank higher on Google search (you will get visitors from search engine).
Article marketing has proven to be just as important as being helpful on forums and developing links on both. I've come up with a list of "sites" I try to use when incorporating SEO. This list is just a solid beginning; always keep building. I only have links on the starred sites for one of my sites; after two weeks online, it's coming up number eight on Google and better on Yahoo for "web marketing business houston": bookmarking sites: digg.com * reddit.com * slashdot.com * delicious.com * technorati.com * stumbleupon.com * propeller.com spurl.com feedmaker.com spotback.com connectedy.com folkd.com social networking sites: twitter.com * facebook.com * myspace.com google.com/buzz media sites: youtube.com * vimeo.com flickr.com press release sites: prlog.com * clickpress.com * free-press-release.com * pitchengine.com prweb.com wiredprnews.com openpr.com prleap.com ereleases.com article sites: ezinearticles.com * goarticles.com * helium.com * article-database.com isnare.com articledashboard.com articlesbase.com articlecity.com directory sites: dmoz.org yahoo.com botw.org business.com
