    After writing content for a year now, I've built a lot of natural interest in the website but we've been reading about how to amplify my effort and get people to find the content I've been publishing. I've been reading about 10-20 articles a day on article marketing to learn the best sites, how to write for them, and the benefits and since I can't sleep I started writing. An hour later I think I wrote a really good article about our toy reviews.

    The website says it'll take 7-10 days and a lot of established bloggers say it takes a lot less. No idea, but I'm hoping they approve. If so, I'm planning on checking back in with the published article and get advice from the writers here. I have a professional editor for Opportunity LOL but I have been working overtime on figuring out what I'm supposed to be doing on the marketing side of blogging and figured I should just write the article and learn.

    Thanks for reading and please share your experiences with EzineArticles!

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but eZine Articles is in a big whole right now.

    The latest Google algorithm change (the Panda update) reduced the impact of article directories with roughly 90%.

    I wish you the best of luck, just don't expect anything glorious out of it.

    I have been very disappointed by the lack of traffic on EzineArticles. I get more readers from men's room walls ;).
    There's no harm in trying, but articles that can grab hundreds of views a week elsewhere are lucky to get 4-5 on E A.
    good luck,
    --John

    Ezine is still good for building backlinks, even after the panda update.

    Ezine Articles is still a fantastic place to post your articles. Even with the (panda) update, you'll get traffic by submitting quality articles consistently. Ezine Articles is somewhat of the (dare I say) industry favorite gathering spot for articles. With that said, I would recommend that you not put all your eggs in one basket. Submit to a couple other quality directories as well.

    ArticleBase
    GoArticles
    ArticlesAlley
    Buzzle
    etc.

    To Your Success,

    Unfortunately you are late... ezine is dead and so will any other content farm... i suggest you to change your marketing strategy and try to keep up with the times...
    Ezine is penalized now with the latest google algo, very soon your own sites will be penalized with if you do not improve the quality of the content...

    I do agree with many of the comments above re the SEO value of your submitted ezine, but still, good luck AND the process of doing it teaches you something of value, and from there you don't know where that experience will take you. I have never done one, and I should have. So good for you, but keep an open mind for other SEO methods. Good luck!!!
