Article Marketing: Bum Marketing Journal And My Experience

Bumping this for an update

 

Ok guys I am VERY VERY sorry I could not update this thread since I was out of town this whole week. Team was still working, we had lot of issues with ezinearticles so we have changed the game plan. We have decided to create our OWN directory SEO it up and post the articles there. Yes, the results are going to be slower than ezinearticles but I firmly believe end result would be much better and we will also end up with an asset in form of a huge website with unique quality content and consistent income.

Ezinearticles is just too bitchy these days and we dont want to waste our time with them.

They sleep under the same very blanket that we provide and then question us on how and why we provide it???!!! I would much rather have them say THANK YOU for your efforts...

As of results so far this is what we have

So far we have made $3700 from CPA leads and $3100 from clickbank

We have not received any money yet so we are kinda low on cashflow. We are also going to halt this ezinearticle experiment but we are still going to go ahead with article marketing with SEO twist and posting everything on website that we own ourself. Hopefully we will be able to rank well and start getting organic traffic and make consistent sales.

I will update this thread once we have everything setup for our own site. Thanks

 

What problems did you have if you dont mind me asking?
I've found if you stick by their rules, ie no blatant promotion, limiting your links etc then you'll be fine. I havent had an article rejected for a long long time by sticking to that.

Can you give us an idea of what niche your in (very broad, ie weight loss etc), or is it multiple niches?

 

I have premium membership and guaranteed SR editor review but even those senior editors dont know the difference between affiliate link and .com domain.

Grammar and spelling issues even when its being written by professional writers and proofread by senior editors before submissions.

MAIN concern however is that we are providing content for someone else when we can benefit from it all by ourself.

We are in multiple niches mostly health related

 

I totally agree with what you said about ezine articles! Slower but better to make your own directory and/or blog. GL

 

Yes thats the biggest concern.

I offset it by creating articles for my own site then rewriting them for ezinearticles.

 

This will be even more interesting now to see how you fare on your own article directory.

 

or open your own article directory and after a year, change all the affiliate links in the resourceboxes to your own affiliate link or on 5% of the views (just make sure that you put in the ToS that you are allowed to change articles in some way hidden)

 

How did you get 1000 views on average pr. article? That's a very good statistic.

 

I feel it would be better for someone to start a journal once some accomplishment is made. On the other hand I see here all hopes and no hops.
After all we started believing the idiom "empty pot makes the greatest sound" . The reason I have yet to find a marketKiller sharing his thoughts on this forum. Looking forward !!

 

Anne Frank's journal became also famous after being completed, so you idea is good. just realease a journal or 30-days challenge if you made much progress or finished the 30days experiment.

The other thread 60,000 free traffic journal is an exception to the rule ,since he it is really nice to read and useful too

 

Wish you the best. Your plans are pretty satanic!!!

 

This thread is dead since Apr 30th 2009, 6:42 am. Now, after 3,5 months , you're posting again. That's a waste of time.

 

Sounds like a great plan, very ambitious! Keep us informed.

 

Is this experiment dead?

 

It is dead. What a plan? From the look if it the plan could not work. You need a man power of well b/w 20 to 35 people to submit 200 articles daily.

 

I am blown away by the results. I assume ezine traffic is from the search engines or do people legitmately use ezine articles to find content?

Anyway well done. How do you come up with things to write about though?
