Can anyone explain how effective is ezine article directory? Is it the best out of all? How much traffic can you get if they accept the articles?
Ezine only works well if you have a ton of articles. You need over 100 a week so you would have to higher some people to do article marketing. best advice i can offer you is if you do it then be prepared to write alot of fricken articles.
Ezine can be very effective. It just depends on the keyword of your article. The amount of traffic you get from articles depends on how many times it is searched daily, monthly, ect. Also depending on how you are ranked for the keyword of your article. I suggest doing keyword research before you start writing your article and don't forget to put that keyword in your title and in your body of the article several times.
I am not sure what you said about 100 article is accurate. I just recently bump into a client who is an internet and SEO guy, and he said the minimum is only 30 articles. I have been using ezine for a month now, and I can see traffice slowly trikling... I only submitted about 10 articles and I will be doing the rest before this month is over. Ezine according to him is one of his top traffic drivers. And I believe it is.
Yes, so far ezine is the best among the article submission websites. Below is the top 5 list i got form one of the thread here in DP. Top 5 article submission site which offer FREE submission with registration http://www.ezinearticles.com/, Page Rank: 6, Alexa Rank: 333 http://www.articledashboard.com/, Page Rank: 6, Alexa Rank: 42,902 http://www.articleclick.com/, Page Rank: 4, Alexa Rank: 42,147 http://www.articlemarketer.com/, Page Rank: 4, Alexa Rank: 41,411 http://www.goarticles.com/, Page Rank: 3, Alexa Rank: 18,786 I hope this helps...
While I agree with some of what is said here, I would add that the effectiveness of ezine, goarticles, and all the others is directly related to the quality of the article. Keyword chosen, placement, general interest in the article and how well it is written all are factors in how well it works. I don't think simply placing an article or even 100 articles on ezine or other sites makes much difference if these factors are not addressed in a positve manner. I have written a number of articles at a number of these sites and most are simply crap, obviously written for no other reason than back links. They generally suck! Truth is simply getting someone to power write articles for you is a bad idea. Your site and its quality, reputation is at risk here.
Yes, of course. You are absolutely right. It is not per se, submitting articles, it will boil down to relevancy. And of course quality writing. No ones gonna click on your article or your resource box if your article is a bunch of crap.
how much traffic you get from EZA depends on your article quality, article title, and the author bio. Yor tile should be enticing enough for people to be interested in reading the whole article. you should have an attactive author bio with 1-2 link(s) pointing to your site so that people get interested in clicking on the links to visit your site. you also should have a good 2-3 sentences summary as EZA is not only an article directory but also a syndication site where lot of other sites use ezine published articles. those 3rd party sites use the summary and link to the EZA. i myself manage to get about 20% (20 per 100 article views) URL click thru on the articles i submit
I think it's effective, article submissions in directories, and ezine is one of the better ones out there, no doubt. Im not sure if you want to use it for traffic, and the link has become less effective, nevertheless, its a must for an SEO strategy today, I THINK.
EZine seems to be very effective for me. The only downside is the wait time for approval, but as long as you always have a few articles in queue then you won't have a problem.
I am not an expert on this field. I aim to be but not at the moment. I think there is not a difference. Article writing is one of the many SEO strategy to drive traffic to your site.
I have personally seen that ezine article directory is very helpful but you need to write good articles too to market the articles. It will help you to gain good back links and traffic too.
I have a friend who gave me an article called Article Marketing on Steriods it pretty much said what im saying. At least you need 100 quality articles a week 1000 a week would be insane that would give you easily could thousand visitors a day.
I don't know about others but for me it is quite effective. My more than 40% ezine articles are rank on the first page of Google, which brings lots of traffic and of course the money. For the newbie with no money to spare this is the single most effective way to earn residual income.
It depends on what you want to achieve with your article marketing. There are two common goals: 1) Increase traffic via click-throughs from the article site 2) Increase SERP Rankings via backlinks As this is the 'Link Development' forum, i'll assume it is '2'. In which case, your comment isn't correct. Submit 1 article, submit 1000. . . all you are doing is getting links from the same site. Much better to submit your 1 article to multiple sources - getting lots of backlinks from lots of different sites. And to those who are crying out 'duplicate content' - you can of course use a freely available spinner if you feel impelled, but really, it doesn't matter. Duplicate content only becomes a problem when it is on the site/page that you are trying to rank. If it is simply on a page where you have a link, that link counts for just as much as any other link. How do you think news stories that go viral & rank high in the SERPs manage that? If the majority of the links are all coming from pages with very similar content discussing the same news story - well. . . go figure! That's what Google loves - virality, buzz. You are rewarded for it! So if your content goes across many sites & gets scraped / copied by lots of webmasters/bloggers, that is a good thing (providing they keep your links in). So, to sum up you DO NOT need 'over 100 a week'.
i get lots of traffic from ezine but only for 24 hours after the article has publish. after that i dont get steady traffic at all
