Sites That Will beat Ezinearticles on Google!

[bvna80]

Hey Guys lets try to list the sites that would beat ezine on SERPs. I am an avid article marketer & have been happy with ezine so far, but with the latest Google algo changes, I feel the rankings of ezine drop after initial few days. It seem to have lost some authority. If ezine loses it there has to be some other web2.0 properties that may gain it . I have tried squidoo, hub pages, weebly, etc & ezine beats them hand down.

Any other suggestions?? Remember we are not talking about any LB, with the right keyword we would want them to rank purely on their love from big G...

Many of my ezinearticles are still ranking high, in top 10 in Google.

I don't really think Google 'favors' EzineArticles, I'd say that Google will visit EA, hubpage, etc. more often because they keep sending new content.

You can test this really, really easily.

1. Create article with unique term in the title (Like "Bvned - what is it?")
2. Submit to all sites you want to test
3. Monitor serps with your obscure term and see which one comes first

You have your list

Why it works? Because it's 100% duplicate content so you will see which of the sites have the most power to "promote" your content the best.

How many of them did you submit in last 30 days ?? Older content will maintain their rank , its the newer one that may fall . Also of course a lot also depend on the competitiveness of the ky...

A possible way ... but with so many web2.0 properties list could be huge. Also the real test would be to see the rankings for nor obscure words but for mildly competitive words ..

Why with mildly competitive term? It distorts the data because there's competition. With pure unique term you will see the data without any noise.

Also you could cut the list down to 10 if you would monitor highly competitive terms and see which ones are piggybacked. All the smart spammers have done the exercise above so they know which one to use.

mildly competitive because with obscure terms the consistency of results is not certain. A link or small change in Kd would make lot of difference ...

just to clarify I was wanting to check out the list of existing fairly authoritative websites which are difficult to pollute .. most of the spammy properties gets a google slap sooner or later ..
