    Thank you everyone for replying.

    pedigreechump6,

    I am not talking about seo. Read my first post again.

    But, since you brought it up, many of those articles you showed us have many, MANY different subjects, but on any one subject, the ones you showed, and the ones I have done searches on, maybe, maybe, three articles will show on the first three pages of a search. Many times it is just one article. From what I have seen, that is.

    And how many articles are there on any one subject???

    Get me?

    (I say the first three pages, because not many, if any at all go past the first three pages. Hell, even the first two pages.)

    For example, the article titled "debt consolidation to free you from debt," only two ezine articles showed up on the first three pages under several different variations of keyword searches.

    And how many different articles are there on that particular subject?

    See what I mean?

    I know A LOT of pages are being indexed, but it doesn't matter how many pages are indexed, because the fact of the matter is is that not that many make it to the first three pages of a search.

    Some will be on page 70. Some will be on page 32. Some will be on page 100. Some will be on page 276....

    And none will be read by users doing a search.

    I'm not knocking it. I just like to put some reality in this.

    But, again, read my first post on the subject of this thread.

    Thanks.

    For you newbies who want a dose of reality, see for yourselves. Just do a search on wide array of subjects.

    Don't believe what you read from others, and especially from anyone trying to sell you an e-book on seo and article marketing. Just do this little experiment to see for yourselves.


    SCLocal,

    Nice tits.

    jm55,

    Probably, but not many are shown there, which raises an eyebrow on how you guys say you can make so much money.

    It's a nice idea for newbies to think they can make a lot of money, but the reality is...well, you know.

    For you newbies, inexperienced: Again, enough of the articles have to be read to make the money, but if not enough of the articles are shown....

    The subcategory, acne, for example. Only five articles were shown on the 30th.

    You guys can click on acne to see for yourselves.

    And how many article marketers are there writing articles for that subcategory?


    For those who still don't believe, please show me where I am going wrong.

    yeah sure ezine is great if you are a platinum member. the process is super quick i bet. but as more and more people are using it, if you're a basic member it could be a while before you find your articles published. I've just recently had to resubmit an article cos it was taking well over 7 days to get reviewed. Its now nearly two weeks, and still not got published. Cant wait till i get platinum status.

    I would say that it would be best if you have accompanying facts before you say something. Ezine definitely has hundreds of articles being posted every single day. They wouldn't be in the #4 spot if not for that fact.

    How do you know though? The turnover on the main page is huge (the articles are replaced at least every half hour by newer ones), you couldn't possibly spend all day monitoring the articles there. I checked the main page about half an hour ago, and checked it again just now and it now has a whole new set of articles.

    I agree that newbies can't make alot of money doing article marketing - there are WAY too many factors involved and it's NOT as simple as it sounds. I don't know why you think an article must be listed on the front page of EZA to get traffic though. I only get about 100-200 views per article on EZA (over the course of the first day) and then after that the rest of my traffic comes from Google.

    I was not talking about SEO either. This is what you said in your first post:

    and my post proves that more than 100 articles are submitted daily. Where is the confusion? I was not talking about SEO....read MY post again!

    I'm not an idiot, I don't believe EZ is going to make you a living but you are still wrong about what you say.

    Actually, yes, pedigreechump6, you were. But it doesn't matter.


    I am wrong. The homepage does change to a new list of articles about every 30 or so minutes, like jm55 said. I asked where I am going wrong, and he did just that.

    Thank you.

    The views do come in fast, too. I saw the new list come in and clicked on some of the articles right away to see how many views there were, and they already got quite a few. Even the ones down on the very bottom got at least 6 views.

    As for making a living from article marketing...I agree. It takes A LOT of articles, and on a consitent basis to do it.

    I would think that one can make some halfway decent money from it to add on to the other income, though, with spurts of very good money every now and then.

    Anyway, this thread has run its course.

    Thanks again, everybody.

    Sounds like ezine articles are having a drive to monetize their site by delaying approvals for a long time now!

    I have 4 articles in pending status right now, since last week. They say they'll get to them within 7 days, but usually takes longer. If you have articles on current events, ezine may not be fir you, since by the time your article gets approved, your info is not longer relevent. Unless, of course, you're willing to pay for the membership upgrade.

    You can use Goarticles as well. Their articles are approved instantly without having to do any paid upgrade. The only thing is they don't rank as highly as EZA, so you have to do keyword research to find phrases that aren't super competitive to write your articles around and build backlinks. Although you should be doing those things for articles you submit to EZA as well.

    No ezine does show all of their articles, sometimes people lie and other time they feel that they are writing a lot but in real life its only no more then 100-200

    Well what you are saying is probably right - that not everyone who 'claims' to submit 20 articles a day does it ---- but you cannot cross out the possibility that some ACTUALLY do that :) I mean for last 1 week, I myself submitted 100 articles - out of which only 2 are approved so far coz they r extremely slow in approving.. but that doesn't change the fact - that I did submit them..
