    Do they allow linking to pages in the resource box? In other words creating a redirect link from mydomain.com/page1.html, mydomain.com/page2.html, etc.

    Thanks

    The guidelines state you cannot use anything but a tld...(top level domain) you can redirect without a problem as long as your link is a tld and you own it...the redirect can be to any url you like,,,its a good system (a top level domain is a root directory, for example my domain.com....but not mydomain.com/wiidget.html)

    That makes sense. Then I guess I'll need a new domain for each niche then.

    Thanks

    no problem. But remember you can only link to your website twice. You can link to other resources that you control or that you don't control to add validity to the article. I would use the dofollow links (resource box) for you and the nofollow links (body) for the other resources and try to include at least one.

    11. We do not accept articles that have the same ACTIVE link more than once. Do not submit duplicate URLs.

    Yeah I was kinda wondering about that, I know I've duplicated the URL with different anchor text, in the resource box. I guess they mean the article.

    Thanks

    I've been able to link to other pages in my site using anchor text, and then TLD as a separate link at the very botom.

    Also a further tip, if you use anchor text, you may miss out on a lot of traffic, because ezine have a large publisher base that reprint your articles on their websites. If you dont use the http protocol, the publisher may just cut and paste your work without bothering to make the anchor text live, meaning your link is absent. I have 5000 articles with them, started back in 2003

    I would just like to clarify, because I did say, "all links"

    If you adopt the policy of always using tld's, you can redirect to affiliate pages without having problems. You may, for example, have a 3 year old product that has done well and you built/bought lots of articles but the product might be coming to the end of its life cycle and you are finding much lower conversions. If you make sure it is always a tld link, you still get that long term ezine traffic, and you have the choice of simply redirecting to any clickbank (or any other affiliate program) product. This is a huge advantage. We have some author names that deliver 700 visitors a day and redirecting that traffic is like 2 minutes to do, we can test different affiliate programs and identify the best converting ones. You cant do that if you deep link as an afterthought. Ezine traffic comes for years and years.

    No, they don't. I've created many redirects on lower directories and sub domains and had the articles approved.
