Is Submitting articles to directory beneficial to the directories or to the blogger. If the reader does not click through to your site after reading the article, who gains?
Submitting to top article directories like ezine, articlebase, articledashboard is always useful in terms of referral traffic and ranking leap
I work at a company which has one of the country's top SEO teams. Article marketing is a big part of what they do. Very low traffic from each article, but keep submittion and over time it adds up. Then there's the link juice.
Not to mention that a lot of these article directories offer your article for republishing by other webmasters. I've had articles on EZA republished dozens of times. That is a lot of extra backlinks from just a single article.
that would be a win win situation. the article directories get free content submitted by you and you get backlinks plus traffic. if a reader doesn;t click through the link on the resource box, then your article must have not been appealing enough. you cannot however expect everyone who reads your article to click on your links. only a small fraction of the people will read the whole article and click to learn more
This is your luck and even your efforts. You should put as much efforts in your article so that the information is somewhat not complete and the readers has to come to your website. This is the way how articles work
Yeah it has great benefits but the best method is quantity combined with quality. The top ten article sites with added articles for your keywords will bring big benefits for link juice and traffic if the article is good.
Articles should be easily understandable because it writes for users but it should contain attractive body then user go for the link for more info.
The reader - and most of the time, it's going to happen that way. If your getting a CTR of 25% - then your doing very well...
If the reader does not click trough to your site something is wrong. Either your article is irrelevant, badly written or your resource box is not persuasive enough.
I'm currently trying out article submission to ezine and goarticles. I like goarticles better. There is one particular article downloaded 50 times in Goarticles within a week of uploading, and 0 time in Ezine.
But the reason of your article is still let them get in to your site. They can still discover your content
The better the article the more it gets used by other sites - a really great article can easily net you 100 or more decent links.... DD
