Do you backlink your articles?

Do you backlink your articles at ezinearticles or goarticles?

If so, do your articles display ANY backlinks and PR?

Can you find ANY individual article that displays ANY backlinks and PR?

I've my backlinking my articles previously for over six months, but recently the backlinks and PR are gone. So to me the SEO benefits are now zilch even though some articles do show the info in MarketSamurai (the older articles). And I've feel that all those hours spent backlinking and money spent have gone to waste.

I've posted this several times in another forum as well as this one that you'd be wasting your time if you try this now if you're doing it for backlinks. Yet people who've participated in previous posts with this mentioned keep recommending backlinking the articles, in one case I made a post saying so right after an individual posted in one thread about this and they disregard it, they still mention backlinking articles.

I just think you're wasting time if you're continuing to backlink them now. JMO.

What do you think? Or am I missing something?

Thanks

 

i don't write myself but i offer backlinks and have served guys for their article.

 

Wow you really answered the question there didn't you???

Anyhow. I feel it is okay to do a little backlink building if you wish. It surely cannot hurt. I myself do not waste a ton of time on it. They key is to spend the time to write a kick a$$ article that will draw a bunch of natural backlinks. If you can achieve this you just found the gold at the end of the rainbow.

 

I used to, but over the last few months I have found that Ezine is just not as popular as it once was, I mean there are people out there just pasting PLR articles, and getting approved, I was getting some traffic, but I found that if I publish my own articles on my own websites, I get better results so why bother, I mean I even have an upgraded account but I just have not been posting, much, to me it is too much trouble, when I can post it on my own site and get the exposure and the ad revenue.

 

I understand what ypu are saying but you are not getting a backlink from the article?

 

No I'm getting a backlink from the article to my website, but all the backlinks to the article itself isn't showing up nor is the PR. Try pulling up any article on the ezinearticles domain and see if it has any backlinks.

Thanks

 

Just build backlinks.. It does not matter if they are now showing up... They are there..

 

And you know this how? If it's not showing in the browser and MS then you're not getting credit for them I would think.

 

It depends on the type of links you use to backlink your articles as to whether these links will show up in YSE and the like. If the links you point at your article are not getting indexed, then you won't see the results.

Backlinking articles serves two purposes: increase the strength of the link from the article to your site and assist you with ranking your article (if you wrote the article for traffic purposes).

I'd say it's certainly worth doing this as long as you don't spend too much time on it.

 

I dont go for PR, just results, hence I use ezinearticles for keyword domination and I get articles on page 1 of Google within a matter of weeks so for SERPS yes I do AND it works.

 

Yeah I already agree as to what I'm already doing it for, one is to get specific articles ranked, and two to pass PR link juice to my sites. And my links are from other articles on other directories.

But pages both mine and from everybody else isn't displaying links or PR anymore. So I would think that backlinking them now (this only happened recently) would be a waste of time. I'm NOT trying to get the other articles to send any traffic to the article, they're for backlinks only.

I'm not new to backlinking articles, I've been doing it for the better part of the year with success until about a month ago when the links and PR disappeared.

Can you find ANY articles now that have backlinks or PR? If you can't don't you think it's now become a waste of time? That's the whole point of this thread.

Thanks

 

Yes I was doing something similar, but mine required creating backlinks to the article itself. Does your technique require any backlinking to your article?

If so can you find any article of yours that has a backlink or PR now?

Thanks

 

Hey, yes I've recently been trying to backlink a lot of my articles on my new website.

 

Have you been successful at ezinearticles or goarticles in getting your backlinks to show up? Have you been successful at getting any other article directory to display backlinks? If so, which one?

Thanks

 

back links is very important to increse traffic on ur blog. besides forum posting is also very important to increse traffic on blog

good luck
bye

 

Article directories are good... don't get me wrong, but honestly giving them your content for a few click throughs and maybe 10 links isn't worth my time of writing the content. I'd rather keep the content on my website and build it up instead of giving it away. I link-build through blogs and forums.

 

I agree and don't do it mainly for traffic. I put my best articles on my site first and then spin them to submit to the other directories for backlinks and not traffic (ends up being way more than 10 links though). The only one I really make any effort to put up really good articles is ezinearticles and hope it gets syndicated to other sites, but I put it on my site first.

I also use it to test out a new niche before seriously building backlinks to the new domain in case it flops. For a new domain having a few links pointing to it won't look unusual, having a new site only a month old with thousands of links pointing to it would and I'm not very patient enough to wait about 6 months or more for the domain to age.

I could build up backlinks and PR to an article and test a new niche and if it flopped I could easily point the links in the resource box to another new domain without having to spend all that time and money backlinking BEFORE knowing if the niche was successful. If the niche is successful I could start building the links directly to the domain and use the article to test another niche.

Thanks

 

I thinks its important not to get caught up in a sort of analysis paralysis state and just keep on building the links because every moment you spend analysing is time you could have spend building a link or two.

 

I dont spend too much time building links to the articles themselves. Like was mentioned previously, Id rather write a kick-butt article for my site, then re-write it and/or spin it and submit it to several good directories and focus on my main website, or webpage, that I am trying to drive traffic to.

 

Yeah guys I know the concept of why you'd want to backlink directly to your site and not to an article, but I am backlinking the articles for a specific purpose.

One technique is to find other articles that are already ranking that only have a few backlinks, then write an article and publish it on the same domain (this is important). Then by backlinking the article many times you can outrank it.

Another thing I found it useful for was testing new domains or niches. By having an article that already had lots of backlinks and PR already published I could just change the resource and have a single link boosting the new website, that way I would not have to be so patient in building the links and I could find out in advance IF it would be worth it to build links directly to the domain.

Worked pretty good until the changes.

Thanks
