Does Articlesbase get enough traffic to work for article marketing?

Hi I was just wondering if Articlesbase gets enough traffic to be useful for bulk article marketing (submitting tons of articles each day to get traffic)

 

It gets traffic but nothing comparable to EZA. Why don't you submit to both? Hell, submit to the top five directories while you're at it.

 

I found EZA terms & conditions quite annoying, I just started article marketing 3 days ago and after submitting 5 articles to EZA, 4 of them were rejected. So I was going to ask you guys the same question but luckily @matthieuim did . What happens if I use other directories than EZA. Does Articlesbase or GoArtilcles get you enough traffic or you just need to improve your writing skills and get your articles approved by EZA?
I'm looking forward to hear opinions or experience with this.

 

AB can rank just as well as EZA on the search engines and that's really all that matters because that's where most of your traffic will come from.

EZA is a pain and that's why I stopped using them and switched to AB.

And if by bulk article marketing you mean submitting tons of articles and not building any back links to them, you might want to rethink that strategy.

 

EZA can be incredibly difficult at times because their employees like to review at their own discretion. I've had times where I get rejected, so I fix the problem; then a few articles later I get rejected again because I was doing it right to begin with, so I fix it again, and then they reject me some more because now they want me to go back to how I was doing it last time.

The majority of my problems usually come from the title. If you're doing "X tips" type of articles, you're going to constantly find yourself being rejected if you put a tip in the resource box. They're just a headache.

 

Link building is very important, at least that's what I've heard . However I think submitting tons of articles is good thing if you are using the articles for backlinking your main ones, right?

 

Well if you're using them just for the purpose of backlinks then yeah it's fine, but why not kill 2 birds with 1 stone and try to get the articles themselves ranked as well as your site that the articles are pointing to?

 

I don't understand the last part. What do you mean by this? Do you mean to put link in one article pointing to another article and to your website as well?

 

Well you could do it that way and build sort of a link wheel. If you're not sure what a link wheel is, just do a search and you'll see.

But what I meant was, let's say you got 10 articles you're writing. For each of those 10, do good keyword research and write those articles around keywords that you could rank on Google for. In the resource box of those articles you want to link back to your main pre-sell page with the anchor text that you want your landing page to rank for. So if you're trying to get your main pre-sell page ranked for "how to make solar panels" then the link in your article to your landing page should read "how to make solar panels". Do that for all 10 articles you wrote and you will have 10 backlinks to your landing page.

After that, take all the articles you wrote and start to promote them for the keywords you're targeting in the articles. Submit them to other article directories, web 2.0 sites, etc. and link back to the "main" article using the proper anchor text. So if Ezine Articles was your main directory, submit the article to GoArticles for example and link back to the Ezine Article. You will also want to include a link to your landing page in all of the articles that you're using to link back to the EZA as well.

This way you're building links to your landing page along with your articles. The key is choosing keywords that you can rank for easily. Instead of writing 10 articles on highly competitive words that you will never rank for just for the purpose of a backlink to your landing page, you can target keywords in the same niche with lower competition and get those ranked too.

If this seems confusing or you have any other questions let me know.

 

Even for Eza, I dont find the click-through rate fantastic. It's more for backlinks purpose rather than traffic. I think Hubpages has better targetted traffic than article directories.

 

Just this part, when I put anchor text to link back to my main article I should put the keyword I'm targeting. I am I right or this above means something else? Thanks for your help.

 

Yeah the keyword you're targeting in the article will be your anchor text.

 

Hubpages.com is another option, it ranks good in search engines and hence you will get organic traffic, provided if you use the right keywords pointing to your affiliate product on the article title.

 

are you guys having problems submitting to ezine using spinned articles or having problems with totally original articles?

 

I have had good luck with hubpages.com also. However, do not spam up the page or about the time you start getting good traffic they will find it and remove your page. Has happened to a couple people posting on this forum and others recently.

 

In my opinion EZA is the beat to use in terms of traffic, however I agree with what others have said here, make the most of your articles.

Build back links to them and after they have been published on EZA, rewrite and post on your blog for best results.

Yes I admit they are a pain sometimes - and you are really aware of this when you are writing your article, a little bit too strict, but they want to stop the spammers I guess.

The worst is when you get articles rejected that have already gone live and they change their mind!

Still I use EZA the most and 2nd place goes to Article Base.

You ll get traffic but conversions happen from Ezine Articles

 

The whole point of article marketing is to get your articles ranked well in the search engines. The traffic that comes directly from a directory isn't much and it isn't worth concentrating on. If you're trying to get mass amounts of traffic from the directory itself, be prepared to be continuously writing articles for the rest of your life.

If you choose to backlink and promote your articles to get them ranked you could, potentially, build up content that will produce traffic and income for years to come rather than having to pump out articles all the time. You won't find a truly successful article marketer who is trying to pump out articles all their life to get directory traffic. Play the game right, get your articles ranked.

Do proper keyword and competition research and find phrases that you can get on first page results for and bust your ass to get there. It takes work but it's well worth it in the end. I have articles that still bring in 5000+ views a month that I wrote 4 months ago. And that's because I worked at it to get them ranked well in Google, not to get directory traffic.

ArticlesBase ranks very well in the search engines. Make use of it.

Keep in mind, though, that if you're doing article marketing to build up backlinks to other sites that AB is a nofollow directory. Meaning the links you place in your articles pull no weight for sites you link them to. Instead, use this directory as a main article submission spot and then build backlinks to your AB articles.

 

I never heard of this before... Have you had an experience with this? From what I've read you can use AB for creating backlinks to other sites...
