So, I started reading this forum a little while ago and, from a few threads I've read, got motivated to write 20 articles a day. I usually kind of max out at 14 or 15 with my brain scrambled - but no big deal. I have 85 articles right now waiting to be approved, so I should know in pretty should order whether this is going to work or not. I don't have a premium membership - just platinum level. But, I have told myself I am going to commit to at least 15 articles every day for 2 months and then reevaluate. My goal right now is just to start hitting $100 a day - consistently. I have over 700 articles with EZA already and my sites are starting to rank a bit, so I have a little bit of a base to build on. Now, I don't know much about blog commenting, or doing other back linking methods, so I just plan on getting daily traffic form EZA and steadily getting more and more back links for my sites. I also only plan on submitting to EZA. I am only in 4 niches right now, but I want to try to get into maybe 2 more and then pound those niches the best I can with at least 3 articles a day - every day. I figure, if nothing else, I'll stumble onto success though sheer volume. I'm not trying to start a journal or any nonsense like that, but I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this whole plan I like reading what successful people are thinking, so maybe this could not only help me, but also help others. Who knows?
I pick keywords and try to rank with the EZA article to drive traffic to my site. I use my resource box to try to rank for the main keyword in the domain of my site. That keyword is usually different than the keyword I used in my EZA article. Who knows how sensible that is, but that's what I'm doing right now.
How much money have you made out of those 700 articles? You mean you never had a $100 day yet? Pretty weird..
Number of articles don't mean anything...You don't know how he's writing them, what keywords he chooses, what products, etc. 15 articles a day is good, but you need to make sure that you are going for the right keywords, and proven products.
Keep going bro. I hit my first $100 day after about 3 months. I'm doing pretty much what you are: submitting unique articles to EZA (not submitting duplicates of the same article anywhere else, although I may rewrite some of them). Quality definitely matters. I'd rather write one really kickass article than three so-so ones. It's not so much about traffic, as it is getting people to trust you as an authority. If you write a great article that really captures someone's attention and leaves them wanting more, not only will they click your link but they'll also be more likely to listen to what you have to say once they arrive on that page. Which of course means they'll be more likely to buy from you. Good luck!
Great Job writing all those articles everyday, 15 articles a day is a lot! Even to be making $50 a day on a consistant basis is success!
Thanks, man. That Precious007 guy kind of got my spirits down by stinging me the way he did, but WTF. I don't think he meant to completely make feel like a zero. I know I should be doing better than I am, but this stuff doesn't come easy to everyone - at least not me.
Thanks. I keep reading stuff where maybe I should write less and backlink what I have out there. Then I read just submit a bunch of articles. At some point, I think, I just have to stick with one thing for a certain period of time to be able to evaluate it. I plan on doing this stuff for the long haul, so if I have to suck for even as long as a year or more, if I learn things from that experience to help gain long term success, then that time will not have been wasted.
Great to do 15 targeted article per day! That would fry my brain! Aiming for $50/day is a lot more reasonable if you are not using backlinks as well as articles. Do your sites link to each other? Are you using free sites or your own? I do a lot of article marketing in addition to article writing. That is the next step. In this global connect the dots game of marketing. Good to have your plan and go for it.
Unless you are promoting your article writing I don't understand how writing 15 articles a day is a good use of your time. If you enjoy it and are happy with it, then that's great. If you are doing it for the money, then you should be using those articles to build a better collection of integrating websites to promote you to the top of the Google food chain. Just a thought - good luck.
Its a good plan, but remember, 1 or 2 "high quality" articles can be worth more than 15 regular articles. Focusing on keyword content is good... just make sure it doesn't ruin the overall quality of the article. And since your putting in the effort, I would only write articles using keywords that target "shoppers and buyers" and not just information seekers. For example, writing about the keyword "penis size" would be going after information seekers, whereas writing about "make penis bigger" would be targeting shoppers and "PenisAdvantage Review" would be going after buyers. Make sure it also still makes sense to the reader and puts them in the buying mood. Try not to sell the product too hard, just get them curious.
Yeah, that's what I struggle with. I hate building those hub pages, weebly, and vox sites, though. I can't imagine anyone ever looking at those things. And if it takes as long to write an article for EZA as it does to throw something up on those sites, I'd rather just do that. I'll get couple more backlinks plus some instant traffic. That's just my thinking right now.
That just blew my mind lol i usually write a few information articles on my sites with them interlinking between two sales sites that give out more information, however how do you distinguish. For example if you have someone googleing increase forex sales techniques (that came of he top of my head so dont go using it lol) is that a buyer or an information seeker :S Also to the thread topic, with all these articles you are making are you targetting the keyword? One of the most powerful techniques is what i, and few others i know call niche domination where you find your long tailed niche area and then get the top 13 ranks for that keyword so that you suck out the majority of traffic, takes some time but if you find tright gems its faily easy. Also with these articles are you using social bookmarking on them? this is also a good technique at striking the long tailed keywords in a less than adequate but still useful way
What do you mean - like build a link wheel or something? I tried doing that a while back, and that was no fun at all. I built Squidoo lenses (which are a pain), I built hub pages, weebly, vox, blogsome, and all these other sites. And then tried to remember how I linked them. I don't know, maybe that's the way to go. There was some kid on Warrior Forum in he spring promoting that stuff. He set up a website that was going to follow his progress to $100 a day consistently. He had one $100 day, declared his link wheel strategy a huge success, and spouted off how he was going to sell programs for $100. He gave up in less than 2 months and took the site down. I bought these backlinks from Angela and Paul from Warrior Forum, and got nasty emails from the owners of a site telling me in no uncertain terms not to spam their sites. I kind of felt like a scumbag throwing useless links to the owner on their sites. Plus, that was very time consuming. So, now, I have just taken it back to basics with EZA. One of my sites is starting to rank well with Yahoo and Bing for keywords I'm aiming for, and I figure Google can't be far behind. Who knows, maybe I'm all wrong. All I can say is my backlinks from EZA keep building and I like the instant traffic from that site. My backlinks never fail to show up within a week and I don't have to worry about an angry email from a site owner that I spammed his site with my crappy backlink.
Hi there, could I join a few DPers here in saying well done to you! This is a great effort with what I believe to be a realistic goal and its to your credit to be asking about it, after all, work "smart" not "hard" eh? Just a few quick questions though, where do these EZA articles link to? Presumably to pre-sell pages before the sales page and if so are they freely hosted or paid-for? And I guess these are the pages that you want to build the search engine rankings for? Are you aiming for click-throughs from your articles? Congrats again!
Thanks Right now, whether it is right or wrong, I want to rank for the the keyword of my site. So, I put the URL of the site for one link, and the main keyword for other link. I don't use review sites, or conduit style sites. My thinking is this, and it may be wrong, but it's how I'm thinking right now - I like being in health related niches because there will always be a need for that stuff. So, I'm trying to build really good and informative sites. If I keep posting good stuff to that site and building back links with good articles on EZA, I can't help but rank for a ton of keywords for just about everything in my niche eventually. At that point, who cares if a Clickbank product I am promoting goes away - just change the links. Or put a CPA offer on, or Adsense or whatever. I just want my site to rank, and the only way I really halfway enjoy building back links is by writing articles. I don't want to comment on blogs and build link farms or link wheels or any of that nonsense. If I have a site on ovarian cysts or whatever, I think there a comes a point where if I am going to have a site on this subject, and I want it to rank for keywords, I also want it to provide good value. Then I can make money in good conscience. I don't worry about having a variety of backlinks from sites all over the Internet. I am starting to see from experience that a boat load of EZA backlinks is getting me to rank for keywords. I look up keywords for my articles to hopefully get my article to rank. But I really don't want to spend time backlinking for EZA articles. I definitely want click throughs for my articles, though. I think my articles are well written. They take me a while to write because I try pretty hard to provide some value. And maybe I'm not making a whole lot of money right now, but I think in the big picture I'll do really well with this strategy. Again, I could be completely wrong, but if I fail it won't be because I didn't put a full out effort into it.
I'm glad you asked these questions. I hate social bookmarking. Maybe I should do it, but I can't stand doing it. Doesn't that kind of traffic not buy anyway? I do target keywords. Since I'm in health in niches, it's not too hard to figure out what a buying keyword is. Then i just write articles on that. I just try to look for keywords with more than 800 searches per month and less than 20,000 or competing pages. I think, right now, all I want is for my sites to rank. I kind of read that Grizzly Brears site from front to back and am trying to use those kind of marketing methods. I know he has blog farms and that kind of stuff, though. So, there has to be a lot of value in that.
