I think that having genuine, fresh topics will help you get those links. My wife is in school and writes bunch of papers, I think that I will use hers to submit to ezine and similar websites. I just have to get her permission. I have a website which is quite tiny. I have a german and an english part. For my german part I get pressreleases and for my english part I try to get articles of all walks of life. I receive my articles through e-mail but since a few weeks I have rather difficulties receiving any article.
But what I had so far of about a 50 articles a day when I was lucky I could use just about 20 most of the time actually less. I read every article and check the links. My toes curl up reading them and my native tounge is not even english you most likley guessed.
Article marketing is absolutely worth the time and I think that this was a great effort to prove this via EzineArticles, which is the market leader and probably the best one for new marketers to test and share their content. While 20 articles is not probably enough to establish significant success, those 20 articles will send the writer free and pre-qualified traffic to their site s that they would not have received, while also establishing credibility in their marketplace.
The best way to write articles and blog posts is using good templates. Its possible to automate these so that the results are good quality unique articles or blog posts. The most important points for me in getting better url click-throughs from my articles were keeping the articles short and trying different author resource boxes until I found one that worked.
When I was able to delineate a tangible benefit to the reader and a utilize a specific call to action, my click-through results improved drastically. Some articles produced unexpectedly good results, while others that I thought would do well unexpectedly underperformed. What I discovered is that a short and catchy title and strategic keyword targeting are also invaluable.
Also one quick correction to this post, since it was written in EzineArticles no longer allows you to change the article title after submitting, so make sure to choose your article titles carefully! Great information. I am just starting out, but I learned so much from reading all the comments. Thanks, guys.
I have tried article marketing, but, alas, I am one of those who only has a few articles so far. I think like all things with SEO, the more effort you put in, the better your results will be. Although, you only have to be a little bit better than your competitors to get higher in the rankings than them!
Here is another resource for article marketing, where you can search and find guest blog opportunities and submit unique articles to niche blogs for free: linknami. Article submission is a daily work for every online marketing man. Besides those helpful tips mentioned above. What I want to add is that video article is also a creative way of article marketing. It plays an important role in online business promotion. Here is my article discussing about how to make full use of video article and explore website traffic with it.
They have a decent PR rating, give you an author section, allow you to include links and even let you make some money from the google ads on the articles you submit. They even give each author their own rss feed which you can use to link into your twitter or facebook. Anyways, I use it to submit articles and love it so far. Great article. Is EZine a preferred online article directory? Streetarticles is a good one too. Hope that helps. I would venture to guess that with article submissions, Google treats them as a first come first serve basis.
Just to clarify something you said about content duplication penalty. We show the most relevant result. Thanks for the article, very interesting indeed.
Rich and Daniel this may answer both of your questions , You want to make your articles for article marketing as unique as possible, but it is ok to submit the same article to just a few directories. The unfortunate thing is that there will always be content moochers out there that re-syndicate your content for their benefit. Sometimes your articles will even get entered into article banks by lazy people looking for fresh content that think it will help them.
Article marketing is certainly worth the time and effort. Being in the article marketing field myself I can no longer count the times yes, it had been so many I have website owners benefit from the effects of article marketing.
If you have the time and the writing skills, my suggestion it to go for it. I guess it must be worth it Yaro as I Googled article marketing in google. I guess it is simply a long process of head down, keep pedaling and eventually it should pay off. From an SEO point of view article marketers do what they do for the links because the more links you have out there in high quality sites, the higher your PR, ergo, the higher Google serves you up in search results.
Hence, you gain traffic not from the article itself but from organic traffic as a result of having all those links in the directories. Submitting to Ezine alone does not consist article marketing. Real article marketing for link benefits means submitting to hundreds of sites and blogs. Google states that duplicate content has no penalties for your website.
If you are worried about not being indexed in Google be sure to put a link in the article to the article. Google is very good at determining who wrote the content originally. I am trying to write one every other day, it is definitely time consuming and who knows if it will turn out to be worthwhile. I am betting the back links are more valuable than actually getting traffic from the article.
Greg, yes back links are more worthwhile, however if you include a link to the article you will get back links! Either there where written by some articlewriting software, or there where just pure marketing articles.
I would not use an articledirectory on automatic. If I ever use one again I make sure I read every one of those articles and also check the links. Of course it is not easy to write an article but I think most articlewriters could put in a little bit more effort.
So many perceptions, makes you wonder what really works, however someone must be doing ok from article marketing. I agree with one comment on here, to really succeed you really have to post your article to hundreds of sites.
Yes and no as you rightly pointed out. In my opinion just post the articles on our own site and ping it. Over time this will be more beneficial. I think article marketing can still work if you combine it with other methods like press releases, blog commenting, social media marketing and even Yahoo Answers marketing. Can i share with you my favorite article distribution service? Does it still work? After all the algorithms changes google is making, its perfectly clear that soon enough only backlinks from articles will worth something.
I noticed this blog published in and doubt if the ezine article still has the power, especially for the recent Google Algo changes. But anyway, this blog is still worth reading. Yes, article marketing is great for website seo but i prefer to use press releases also.
This give me great results longtime. Since everyone spins articles and add masivly to all articles directories this is not so strong now. Marketing articles on the internet is way over saturated making it difficult to tell the difference from quality information and individuals that are just looking for traffic.
What other purposes is there to publishing your content on other websites? Is article marketing that valuable for your website?
I noticed that on popular e-zine directories there are thousands of authors and huge collections of articles, what kind of exposure your articles will have? Thanks for your articles. Allowing you to publish your blog pieces directly from the sidebar of the WordPress dashboard. If duplicating articles causes problems with SEO on Google, is this perhaps not the way to go? Great post you have up here.
However, I read from an article written by a guru that the length of the article should be word count at most whereas you said How do we reconcile this? Would ezinearticle consider it too small to providing value as against article of words? Again, is it prudent to submit same article to many other article submission sites? Again, is it time consuming submitting an article manually there? Thanks and anticipating your reply for these questions of mine. Ezine only allows minimum of word articles now.
I have used ezine articles in conjunction with other article submission sites like go articles, hubpages and squidoo. Seems like a bit of a mixed bag really. Some good results and some not so good. It does come down to quality of writing and finding subjects which will get picked up. Choosing the right keywords in your article is another topic which would be worthy of an article!
I have been using a company called robosend to write and submit my articles. My rankings went from 50th to 7th in 2 months for my search term. I am on page one now and have spent about over the 2 months. This was my only link building effort. I feel the money was well spent. I hesitated when I saw so i thought to give it few skimming seconds but got hooked all along. Great tips, thanks for the share. Thats where I grew up! But also Eureka! I have finally cracked the code on what it takes to write a good article and what kind of content it has to have.
I have been writing months of articles that were not getting any result. Then I learned to place my website keywords in the article and title if possible. My word count has been less than on most of my blog entries. I could use some help form other writers. I write all of my own content and dont use any software. Dont think I need it. Hi Mark. I just read your comment written in May last year. I was wondering if you have written for infobarrel. I have tried writing for them including keywords in the title but they keep knocking my articles back.
This is pretty annoying. I liked this post, it was really enlightening, Thanks. Hi Liz … I just noticed your comment as I was writing mine and was curious to see how things are in your Internet marketing world a few months down the track. I hope you are having all the success in the world. It will get your site hurt. The best thing you can do is create awesome articles and put the on your own site and then syndicate them with quotes and attribution after the end quote marks.
Just now. I think there are much better ways of promoting your content now. Submitting to RSS feed directories, for example, have been a major source of traffic to my blog.
I think article writing is great as long as the focus is to get a message and information to your target audience. I feel some article writing is pointless and quite frankly does not even make sense. Some of these articles are just seen as link building. Back in the day, article sites may have been useful for back-linking and getting author exposure.
Quite right! I had been researching exhaustively to see where I could start making money using my creative writing abilities which were discovered by Mr. Horan my incredible 9th grade teacher. He was the head of the English and Music Department. After Mr. Next Mr. Horan recommended I read about Albert Einstein because he felt we share many of the same fascinations and extreme curiosities and thinking mechanisms.
My soprano voice was originally discovered by my Second Grade Teacher, Miss Cusic, who had this little shy Jewish girl singing Christmas songs,and then she insisted I do a solo which terrified me. Currently I am retired and sing in two choirs, one in Massachusetts at my Synagogue, and the other in South Florida where I get to give pleasure to nursing home residents.
My life is very full, wonderful family, incredible grandchildren, but I would like to use the next ten years using my creative writing skills not just to earn money, but to give, knowledge, pleasure and enjoyment to other like minded people.
I am extremely impressed with this post, which had me from moment one! I think Ezine Articles. Please let me know your thoughts before I approach any media, and for further thought, I am looking to link up with people I can co-benefit with. Thus far I have two authors lined up, both I have had contact with, and made a serious impression on. As you described about duplicate content and search engine penalties.
Where does my directory stands. There is no chance for survival for such directory. What should I do? Directories are not an easy one to turn into a profitable business today, unless you already have an audience from something else like your blog. Maybe you are right. Only homepage has rankings in organic search results with some article directory or ezine directory related keywords. But those rankings are not from 1st page. My website is standing on 3rd to 15th page of Google.
Other articles indexed in Google but do not have any rankings. Which means I am not getting traffic from those articles. The best thing you can do is make great articles and put the all alone site and afterward syndicate them with quotes and attribution after the end cite marks.
I publish 13 articles and I never received any good quality traffic to my website. As a paranormal and horror author, I am forever torn between the two options of publishing my articles on Ezine Articles.
So far, despite doing both, neither have attracted much traffic. I do have Expert Author Status on Ezines, but even this does not seem to be bearing me much fruit traffic wise. So what do you suggest I do in order to attract more traffic, books sales etc?
My Article Marketing Test I started article marketing by reprinting a small selection of the articles I published to this blog from about July onwards.

Jerrick on at. Joe on at. Thomas on at. I have this pet peeve that if any forum, whether it be a website or any other medium, allows just any old person to come by and 'publish' whatever, that that's not really 'getting published' in the strictest sense of the term.
If you were to submit an agented or unagented manuscript to a real book publisher where some manuscript are selected for printing but a majority end up in the garbage, and they chose to print up multitudes of copies of your submission, then I would think of you as 'published. None of the articles I saw cited any sources much less reputable ones. I have been building my computers since and know my way around these programs quite well however Guruaid, far surpasses my abilities and gives me peace of mind when things go terribly wrong.
Their no nonsense approach to resolving issues is concise and thorough. I have been with them for over 4 years now and would never make a change. Thank You Guruaid for your diligence, tenacity and for bringing life back my computers time and time again.
Ezine is the most Worst company asking me money repetitively for publishing my articles. Now they have become very furious. I have recently created an account on June 3, and submitted two articles on it.
They have not checked those articles till date. Every time, they have been torturing and pressurizing me to go for a premium account to get to those articles published. I have never faced such a tremendous pressure before. The most likely way you'll come across this site is when it turns up in Google listings about online services and merchandise.
If you're looking at search engine returns for things like acai products or weight loss programs, there's a fair chance an ezinearticles. And when you visit the page, you'll find an "expert article" which invariably promotes the product and gives you at least one link which takes you to another website which sells it. This is the premier venue for affiliate and other kinds of marketers to promote themselves and their wares whilst being able to portray themselves as "experts" on the subjects they're writing about.
There are hundreds of thousands of articles here. The most prolific article writer, who can claim to having written a staggering twenty-one thousand articles by himself alone, is Sean Mize, who runs a website called secrets-of-internet-success.
Several other experts here have thousands of expert articles each, which sort of makes you wonder where they find the time to actually practice the expertise they're so busy writing about.
If you arrive on a page here without being aware that this is a marketing site, you won't see anything which identifies the author as having a financial interest in the subject he or she is writing about. And you'll sometimes see a bunch of "comments" which are unsurprisingly supporting the product that's being written about. These are not always entirely helpful; the one I came across about an acai colon cleanse product described it as "like shooting two birds in one stone.
Don't be fooled, this is generally not an authority you can trust, especially in the instances of "reviews" about currently fashionable products. If you really think your colon needs cleansing, go see your doctor - not a professional article writer who's being paid to push you in a profitable direction. They are the one of the biggest jokes on the net.
Completely anti American you can't write an article on any thing used for self defense even non lethal they will ALWAYS find a reason to turn it down. Contact there support staff what a joke I've never gotten a reply from them. When they don't want you to publish an article they will and have come up with the most obskewer reasons as to why you can't. They have got to be linked with Google some how Google has become total reduculas on what products they'll let you advertise and EnzimeArticile is running a close second.
One of the things these company's have in common they in no way want an American citizen to be able to protect themselves in any form. Hmmmm makes one wonder do they were diapers on there heads! According to me Ezinearticles are the worst article posting site, I have ever seen. Read some of the ezinearticles posted by Platuinum author. They are worst in quality and full of mistakes. They are interested more in earning money than maintaining the quality. Get a fresh new idea for your next article, in fact at least 52 fresh ideas, with the EzineArticles Feedback EzineArticles.
I tried to publish my first article there, and it got refused. Why they claimed my own article I myself written had not been writen by me They closed suspended my account, after I explained for them they reopend the account. But I had to delete my own article I myself written, because they did not trust me They treated me like a criminal I then wrote a complele new article but on same theme, that they also declined, saying it had poor grammar It had 0 spelling erros According to online grammar tool.
Some grammar mistakes, but so robotically perfect in writing is not even USA native English speakers, who also thinks overall the site has toos trict unhuman rules. And extremelt bad manners, they act and behave like a scam company We recently closed our account with Ezinarticles. The website has no phone support for their clients and will only respond to emails as they see fit.
Their platform does not provide any real incentive for your clients or article generation and exposure. Also, keep in mind, if you ever close your account, they will automatically remove any and all articles that was ever produced under your account name, but will not refund you any money for those months that you have now lost. This is a poor business practice and the fact that you paid for the previous months in which the articles were submitted.
The articles should remain in the system even after the account is closed, after all you paid for those months already. Instead they hold you hostage in order for you not to lose all the work you have done in the previous months and years.
