hello everybody I've submitted 8 articles ( 1 product ) to AB. They are alive for 7 days now and I want to share this with you. This is what happened in those 7 days : Article 1 --> 34 views --> 1 hop --> CTR = 2,94% Article 2 --> 30 views --> 2 hops --> CTR = 6,66% Article 3 --> 11 views --> 1 hop --> CTR = 9,09% Article 4 --> 22 views --> 1 hop --> CTR = 4,54% article 5 --> 16 views --> 0 hop --> CTR = 0% Article 6 --> 72 views --> 5 hops --> CTR = 6,94% Article 7 --> 98 views --> 5 hops --> CTR = 5,10% Article 8 --> 32 views --> 6 hops --> CTR = 18,75% ----------------------------------------------------- Day 1&2 --> 156 views --> 14 hops --> CTR = 8,97% Day 3 --> 38 views --> 2 hops --> CTR = 5,26% Day 4 --> 18 views --> 1 hop --> CTR = 5,55% Day 5 --> 9 views --> 3 hops --> CTR = 33,33% Day 6 --> 39 views --> 1 hop --> CTR = 6,66% Day 7 --> 55 views --> 0 hop --> CTR = 0% ----------------------------------------------------- Total : 315 views 21 hops CTR = 6.66 % ----------------------------------------------------- Keywords : Articles 4&8 : optimized for the same keyword --> 18000 searches --> 700 competetors Articles 5&7 : optimized for the same keyword --> 4000 searches --> 4500 competetors Articles 2 : one keyword ( phrase ) --> 5000 searches --> 50000 competetors Article 3 : one keyword ( phrase ) --> 6000 searches --> 9000 competetors Article 6 : one keyword ( phrase ) --> 14000 searches --> 15000 competetors ----------------------------------------------------- P.S : all my articles are written by a professional P.S : I didn't do any off-page SEO P.S : I didn't use a landing page , all the hops are coming directly from the articles ----------------------------------------------------- So , what do you think , Is that normal or not ? Honestly, I was expecting more hops but that didn't happen. No Sales In the future , I will only work on Keywords that have 10000+ searches/month. Any comments ?
The CTR is low, too low. Honestly, I'v never tested exactly how many hops come from AB. However, in one particular niche it was higher than Ezine. But just that niche. Articlebase is not ranking well in all niches, just in some. This is what I've found with AB. If I write an article on get ex back for example,don't expect high ranking and views.
Looks like you need to work on the articles a little. Try different styles for your titles. Use short ones and than use long ones and see what does better for your niche. This is just an example but try and mix it up. Also remember to submit links to the ezine article from other article directories.
Though AB's articles get decent ranking in search engines but they really have a lot of distractions within the article, this the reason the CTR is very low. I don't know how you are giving links to your target site but i have noticed that AB is now approving the links within the article body so you may try that as well. You may try buzzle.com, not even a single distraction within the article but you can only have 3 pending articles at a time also buzzle articles get decent ranking in search engines.
