Hi guys is it normal for the first couple of days of an article being approved to get loads of traffic then after that to get not much traffic at all?
Yes, initially they will put your article in a more favorable position, but then will move it to the 'back pages'.
Yes, that's what always happens. New articles get some articles, and then slowly die....but they still produce SOME traffic.
Sometimes if your article gets approved late Friday it can sit in the recently approved articles all weekend.
I'd say focus on your landing page getting ranked instead, and EZA-proof your business, so to speak. They're good and all that, but I can't believe so many people rely solely on Ezine Articles. You're leaving so much on the table...
Its weird the first articles I wrote got on googles first page in about a day and they still remain . But after a few submissions they took longer and longer to get indexed and now half the time they don't get indexed at all or they drop really quick.
