Crazy Question: How To Get Backlinks To/For An Article ON EZA?

[acrasial]

Ok, so everyone talks about how EZA gives you traffic for your WEBSITE, and all that great stuff... only I have one issue:

I want traffic for my ARTICLES. Call me greedy, crazy, or just plain dumb... but I need to get huge amounts of traffic to my articles... and just the articles, from search engines.

I can do SEO, and that's not what I am asking for here exactly, but what i would like to know, is how do you create backlinks for articles on EZA.

As well, some people are taking articles and changing them, and submitting the changed version to other article directories... so then the link in the author box on the OTHER article directories, would be one for the original EZA?

how exactly does that work?


Thankyou for any input...

[tommygunn]

Build a set of articles that rely on each other, link article 1, to article 2, to article 3 and so on. I believe your allowed 3 links in the resource box, correct?

I wouldn't recommend just rewriting other articles just to link to yours. But then again, I haven't tried it. I believe in adding value in everything I do in my online business, that value will bring you long term success.

That's all I really have to offer.

Very wise. Can sometimes be more productive than writing more articles, to get traffic for the ones you've already written. (I'm not sure how much I'd want my traffic going to EZA rather than to my own sites, but that's another matter).

Why not? Doing SEO is a very good way to get traffic for your articles.

Any way you can get backlinks for a web site, you can get backlinks for an article on EZA. If you don't mind spending some time, effort, money or whatever in sending traffic to someone else's site with a lot of Adsense on it. (I know - it can be a very good thing to do!).

They are. And some are doing the same without changing them.

Exactly as you've described. You get backlinks for your EZA articles out of it, if that's what you want to do. The principle's exactly the same as getting backlinks to your own site, as far as I know.

Do you mean that rewriting my own articles does not add value? I am not sure what you meant here, and I felt slightly offended...LOL!?

Did I misinterpret this?...? Because all of my articles were written by me, and have content- and I write articles constantly... so it's not a big deal to rewrite them... lol... I am also sure how that would take away from the value?

As the areas I write in are related to self help... etc... so people would always be benefiting from the articles in some way or another...

but for sure, i think they allow that... so I would have links to 3 different articles in the "new" articles? (but the articles would be related...)?

What everyone is missing here... is that more traffic = more chances of increasing my CTR!!! i want HOPS, clicks...customers! LOL... the more people who read it, the more people who may click my author box... I am not satisfied with the traffic that eza brings alone...lol i need TONS of traffic! sounds crazy, but this is what I need right now...lol.

I already optimize my articles, and write them that way, as well as provide the titles, etc.. and other things which are part of it (content), as well as produce articles frequently... (search engines love new stuff).

I also have original articles which are different from my competition, and offer the reader something... which is also something search engines love.


So what else could I do besides this? someone said to target short tail keywords... but how short is a short tail keyword...? I am not sure how exactly to do that either? alot of competition in that... and how do I get ranked for a short tail keyword... then?

Can you give an example of the above... or laymans terms? please? I am not sure what you meant by sending traffic to someone else's site with adsense? I have never used adsense... how does this work?! omg...


thanks..

[LegitBlogger]

You can prepare spin ready (spinable) articles and mass submit
them to the hundreds of article directories, with the resource boxes
linking back to the articles you want traffic for. If done right, this
can get your existing articles ranking for the keywords used in
the resource boxes. Rinse and repeat and this could be a real
winner. I know... I do it, consistently and I get good results!

I don't believe this is true. It's a way of increasing your number of clicks, not your click-through rate, surely?

Originally Posted by acrasial

Of course. My point is that, for myself, I'd rather have the extra traffic going to my own site(s) than having it going through EZA where all the Adsense (and other distractions) will lose a proportion of it.

I don't think it sounds so crazy. I've known people do very well by spending time/effort increasing the traffic to their articles rather than writing more articles. If it can get your articles onto the first page of the SERP's, it may make a lot of sense. You can perhaps do that with "off-page SEO", i.e. by getting backlinks to your articles. (But again, for myself, I'd probably want my articles to be reasonably high in the SERP's anyway, to do that, and send traffic there rather than to my own site, for all the same reasons that I prefer articles originally on my own site and only subsequently at EZA or wherever.)

Originally Posted by acrasial

Backlinks to articles, social network bookmarking of articles, and so on.

Originally Posted by acrasial

Apologies for any ambiguity.

I was trying to make the point that EZA makes money by having Adsense all over their site, and if you send your traffic there (rather than to your own site), you'll lose some of it because of their Adsense: some of those readers will click on an ad-link on the page rather than on your links in the author's resource-box. That's how EZA makes a living, isn't it? I'm not trying to imply that that necessarily makes it the wrong thing for you to do, but it's something to be aware of.

[acrasial]

So do you suggest that I make my own blog, and backlink for that, because it would be MY OWN... or a website featuring my articles, and backlink that too?

As for the CTR, i know that my author box works, and so do my articles, as well as everything else. I have tested that, thus far, and it works... so that's why I just say more traffic...

But my only issue is, is that ezine gives me tons of traffic, and I really don't want to be directing people on my ezines to a blog, where there are MORE articles... because I want them to click on my link and buy the product...

I wonder if sending them to a blog-type website with my articles, would make them just browse around and leave... I want things to be as simple as possible...

[Alexa Smith]

I think I'm starting to understand, now.

You're using articles at EZA of which the author's resource-box contains direct links (or via a forwarded domain-name) to the sales pages of products for which you're an affiliate, I think? And you want to increase your affiliate sales commissions by getting more of those clicks from EZA articles without having a blog/site yourself and without building a list? Have I got this right, now?

And you want to increase your affiliate sales commissions by getting more of those clicks from EZA articles without having a blog/site yourself and without building a list? Have I got this right, now?

Yup, I think

I have a few websites, which I have directed to affiliate websites for which I am promoting their products through clickbank.


I have over 1500 articles out, and I also have youtube videos out... so I am asking now what else I can do (and more specifically...HOW) to bring more traffic...

I need a squeeze page actually, but truth be told, I am a newb in absolutely everything, pretty much... and that's where my other issue comes into play- people start suggesting things, and then I have to go and learn that too... lol.


Someone has offered to make me a squeeze page, actually... but I explained to them as well, that I don't want people making things for me exactly, as I need to learn it, so I can do it on my own...

and I also have no idea what kind of email client etc... is used/needed to send automated things... such as the one where it asks them to click the link to CONFIRM the subscription... and is that thing called a double opt in?


No idea...I have seen so much stuff, that I want to do- but someone also told me to finish one thing, then start another...

So that being said... of course I want to learn how to make a blog, set up that stuff, and everything else... and I actually bought something PLR related (for wordpress) and it's an installable thing for that... but it didn't work...

Then I had to contact the website through the link given on the product, and the website told me that they don't deal in these things, and i realized the person who made it had directed me to some random website for "HELP"...


So things can get frustrating... as last night I was doing all of the following:

PHP, Scripting, MySQL, Databases, PLR, 3 Support Tickets, 24 Hour Support, Webhosting, Core FtP, ERROR Messages, Wordpress, Unassign Vs. Assign,.... and thensome..


Cheez...so I would like to build all the things you listed, and thensome- but as mentioned, I am not sure that driving my traffic to a BLOG from my author box will increase sales... as I fear it may cause the customer to get confused... or be flooded with too many options/information... but of course I could always have some sort of sales page first, and then other buttons/tabs to lead to other articles, right?

But I don't know how to do any of that...

so that's where i am now, instead, just asking how to drive traffic with backlinks, to EZA (yes it gives them traffic too... but they also give me traffic, and allow me to be on their website etc... so its a win-win anyways...)

So ...


I had also purchased a link package... but learned that they will not be doing the links for me... that I would have to do them myself... and I have NO idea how to do that- even though it tells me how in the thing... because I don't know alot of the basic terms etc...

Thus I have places to get then backlinks, I suppose, just still not sure ... extreme NEWB moment.

*hits head in embarassment*

[acrasial]

What I have been doing thus far, is writing articles with a keyword density of about 3% per each keyword. I generally have 3+ keywords in each article, so there's a few things accounted for in that, and the keywords ALWAYS FLOW, and I make sure of that.

The articles are 300-500 words each, but recently have been bordering past 350 each.


So then, I sit there writing an article every 5 minutes... and have written 1500... and the reason i have written so many, is because they get pushed down, competition etc... so I need an article around on the front pages always to get me some sales... (front pages of ezine articles, not google...lol (i wished...on google)...)

Thus, it's really irritating, and I want some backlinks, and to know how to do that, so I am not constantly losing out simply because of competition, and yes I want to also use this as a ploy to get myself on the first page of google, which in turn, gives me tons of views, which in turn, gets me on the most viewed list on every single article on ezine article, in the category..

So it's like a dominoes effect.

[Alexa Smith]

I understand, I think. (Sorry if I was slow on the uptake, here!).

The thing is, what you're doing (although you're taking action and getting something back from it, which is cool) isn't exactly the optimal way of doing this. It's much better, really, to write your articles for yourself and put them on your own site/blog first, then submit them to EZA and other places.

Well, you're more purist and better motivated and keener to take responsibility and all that other stuff than I am, then. On the other hand, I have squeeze pages and you don't!

I also have no idea what kind of email client etc... is used/needed to send automated things... such as the one where it asks them to click the link to CONFIRM the subscription... and is that thing called a double opt in?

Yes, at some point you need to do (or have done for you) some really simple one-page pre-sells, probably one for each niche for which you have Clickbank affiliate products, with an opt-in on the page, and then when people opt in, they all get processed through your Aweber account which you've opened for that purpose, so you can build lists and follow them up. I hear you throwing up your hands in horror, and I understand that! But you get a lot more out of it that way, in the long run, I promise.

However, this isn't really what you're asking about, I do appreciate!

The answer to what you're asking about is that you can get extra traffic to your EZA articles by using any/all of the tactics/strategies that anyone uses to get traffic to any website. Each EZA article has its url, and you can use that url as the target for backlink-building and traffic-attracting in any of the ways that people build backlinks and attract traffic for any website, blog, page or whatever they have.

Originally Posted by acrasial

I hear you there.

Well, your one-page pre-sell sites to which you link your articles can be a Wordpress template or whatever. It doesn't matter whether it's a "site" or a "blog" and there's not much difference between them anyway, these days, what with "static pages" in blogging software and so on.

I know these things can get frustrating.

You're way ahead of me in a sense, because you know how to do SEO and I don't. And I don't understand what any of these things like PHP, Scripting and MySQL are at all.

I am not sure that driving my traffic to a BLOG from my author box will increase sales...

Having a suitable pre-sell page, and building your own list, for each niche, will get you more sales than sending people directly to CB vendor's sales-pages. This is just black and white/open and shut. No question about it. But maybe this isn't what you want to do right now, I understand.

From the customer's perspective, instead of going from your article to a sales page, they'll go from your article to a one-page site where you talk gently about the product and what it's for and how it saved your life and all the rest of it, with all the links on that page being to the vendor's sales page. It should increase your sales.

I fear it may cause the customer to get confused... or be flooded with too many options/information... but of course I could always have some sort of sales page first, and then other buttons/tabs to lead to other articles, right?

No, you don't have to make it big and complicated. One page per niche or product. Only one way off that page, and that's with a link to the vendor's sales page (your hoplink, obviously). Nothing complicated needed at all.

In the long run, setting this up is better than using your time, energy, effort and maybe even money to send traffic to EZA. Because you lose some of the traffic you send to EZA, don't you? They end up clicking on EZA's own Adsense advertising that they have all over their site and you don't make a penny out of that.

But in the short run, yes, you can build backlinks to your own EZA articles in any/all of exactly the same ways you would to your own site.

I had also purchased a link package... but learned that they will not be doing the links for me... that I would have to do them myself... and I have NO idea how to do that- even though it tells me how in the thing... because I don't know alot of the basic terms etc...

Yes, I understand ... me also!

You either need to ask them for instructions on how to do them, or pay someone to do it for you (there are people who do this, and it's a really cheap service to buy!).

It sounds like you're really good at writing articles, anyway! Good luck!

That's what I want to do eventually, I just want to know how to do that! LOL....

Another thing is, that I have had landing pages before (pages that come in between the actual sales page), and conversions were lower, than when I just redirected to the websites I am using. Two of the products I am promoting don't really need a landing page in between (because this has been tested), and I found that the sales page for these products has so much information and soft sales leadings in it already, that's why.


I have a landing page for some other products, however... so of course i understand what is going on in that sense... but I guess I have silly fears, because everything is a test zone anyways...(just as i tested author boxes, redirects, landing pages etc...) so what the heck am I whining about? LOL

I don't need any guarantees on getting more... lol i am well aware of getting more... haha i just need to take action and do it...lol... as for this aweber thing... I have one? or I have to make one? I use hostmonster, is it on there?

(there are so many things on hostmonster... it gets confusing!!! I was using some wordpress installer the other day, and found out there were 3+ other ones on host monster for the exact same thing... man!)...

You see, everyone is telling me What it is.. (naming something)...but I need the HOW... like the laymans terms...lol... I also am aware that I can do that on twitter... and got some products from people on wf... based on twitter marketing too (for my articles...)... and presumably that would be a type of backlink?

I don;t know them, but was learning ALL of those things last night, because I was trying to install wordpress onto one of my websites, to get a PLR website running, for more affiliate work... and that's also why I am asking about backlinks, because presumably I would have to do it for this website too... as I won't be using article marketing for this website, as of now.

I understand this, and have actually subscribed to so many opt ins in my niches, so I can see how they market in emails, etc... and then I can make my own twist on that, generate my own emails to send out etc... and also make free books and other information to give to people. I know how to do that, it's just getting the underworkings set up.... such as installing things, creating email accounts, automated stuff...lol



But you see, that's also why I want to teach myself how to do this, as it can be very costly, to get people making squeeze pages for me... as I have I think currently over 12 websites.... that racks up to over $1200 ... ..if you get my point... things add up.

I haven't outsourced articles either, because that racks up too... I noticed... and I can write them myself... and earn that money myself...

I am just not willing to throw away so much money, when I haven't fully begun to establish my income beyond minimum wage (for my province)... if you understand that...

Plus my family is on my case....lol.

I actually didn't know that EZA had installed adsense... until like a month ago... I had an adblocker installed on my Firefox, and didn't realize it blocked those... so the EZA I was seeing was clean and pure... and actually when I saw it that way, I had wayyy more sales... then when I took the block off... and saw all those ads, I got disheartened... and went WTH... hahaha... and my sales sure haven't been quite as fantastic... lol because I sit there worrying about that too....

someone offered to do this for nearly 100$....and as mentioned, this racks up for every website..... I am not sure how much someone charges as well to show me how to do it on my own... presumably they charge even more...lol

But there's that saying... give a man a fish, feed him for a day... teach him to fish, feed him for life...

Chiming in here. Have you looked at Paul or Angela's backlinks packages? They seem to have an excellent reputation on this forum and sell their backlinks (one sells 30, the other sells 50) for a grand total of $10/month. It's a lot of manual work submitting for backlinks on each site. However, if you work on getting just a few backlinks per articles each day (so it looks natural to Google) it should help you climb the SERPs.

Search the WSO's for them.

Later, once you have the backlink submissions down, you will want to consider outsourcing this routine task (for all your new articles).

Cheers,
Kelly

You see, I actually bought one of those programs from someone on here- but they DO NOT do the backlinking for me... and once again it's all manual...and I am a newb, so reading those things and instructions I find it difficult as well, as alot of terms I don't know-.

So that's kindof why I ask people to show me- because then when i actually SEE it being done, It's much easier understood, when they are explaining other things, and when I want to learn complex things etc..

and yes, I did talk about outsourcing or getting smoeone to do it- and smoeone suggested to use Odesk for that, only I do not have a credit card- thus I cannot use Odesk at the current time.

How exactly are your websites set up? Does someone click on your EZA and it looks like your domain but you redirect it to someone else?

So are you not getting ANY traffic what-so-ever? Maybe it's because reading all of this gives me a headache but I haven't seen any stats. What IS your current CTR, hops, etc? What are your web stats? That would help.

Yep, you'll just have to deal with that. Start reading and learning. There's no shortcuts, despite what people will tell you.

Email Marketing Software, Autoresponder - GetResponse
Email Marketing Software, Email Newsletters and Autoresponders by AWeber
Email Marketing Solutions from Constant Contact

Those are the mailing list providers. You don't actually use an email client, you use the provider and you set it up to send automated emails, etc.

I find this block funny. I think you meant to say you were "exposed" too instead of doing. If you were "doing" PHP, MySQL, etc., you would know how to set up a, for the most part automated, blog.

You can do so, for free @ blogger.com (Google loves them), wordpress.com (Google loves them) or any of the other 1,000,000 free blog providers out there. Or you can have your own domain and hosting package, such as through Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Servers - Website Hosting w/ cPanel - HostGator and they have automated tools that will install your own blog on your own domain (for example: www.youhavealottolearnbutkeepgoingoryouwillfail.co m) and you would have your EZA's link to that blog which then linked to your money page.

So where are you driving the traffic to now? It sounds like you're direct linking, however above you say your own websites. Please clarify.

Since the link packages are pocket change, it's funny you thought they would do it for you!

Here's the deal:
This business is: 1) hard work 2) lots of learning 3) for the very dedicated 4) very profitable.

K? So let's work on your questions but you have to be more specific. Too much generalizations going on here and you're confusing yourself/thinking too hard into it.

[jrodc777]

A good idea that I have learned is this:

1.) Write a great article and post to ezinearticles
2.) Wait for that article to get accepted and indexed by google
3.) Rewrite your article 5-10 times yourself or by using a paid service or write 5-10 more original articles (preferred but not necessary)
4.) Post the 5-10 more articles using other web properties like, hubpages, squidoo, wetpaint, blogger, wordpress...etc
5.) Gradually link back to your article on EZA from these new properties
6.) Also be sure to link everything else randomly or as naturally as possible. Don't worry about making everything connect in a "linkwheel fashion" which has become popular
Example: provide 2 links in each new property with your secondary articles. One will link to your main EZA and the other will link to another secondary web property that you created. Do this for as long as you want for as many articles as you want.

This will get you the traffic you are looking for, but will take some time.

Hope this helps

Thanks
Jared

Example: provide 2 links in each new property with your secondary articles. One will link to your main EZA and the other will link to another secondary web property that you created. Do this for as long as you want for as many articles as you want.

This will get you the traffic you are looking for, but will take some time.

Hope this helps

Thanks

I don't mind your method at all, Jared- and it's actually something I was considering doing, but just didn't fully understand how to work the author boxes... I am still a bit confused on that, as to how to place the links what links to use etc- as you are now saying as well by the sounds of it, to use a few different links from the respun articles as well?

One tips here

The longer the article the less likely it is to be read. It takes more work to pack good information into a shorter article but it is worth the work because it will be read more often.

Did I misinterpret this?...? Because all of my articles were written by me, and have content- and I write articles constantly... so it's not a big deal to rewrite them... lol... I am also sure how that would take away from the value?

As the areas I write in are related to self help... etc... so people would always be benefiting from the articles in some way or another...

but for sure, i think they allow that... so I would have links to 3 different articles in the "new" articles? (but the articles would be related...)?

Regards,

I know it was a while back now lol, but no offense intended. Unique content adds more value than recycled. If it adds value in some way, cool, otherwise it's not really worth it, was my point.

Good luck, looks like you got a bunch of ideas here.

Yes, I have learned that I can easily misinterpret things! Thanks for the clarification

How to get backlinks? The everlasting quest.

Well , please take everything I say with a grain of salt, as I come from the sEO world of online casinos/gambling (and we really destroy the WWW):stems

Blog commenting - Yes Blogger/Wordpress blogs are NO-FOLLOW (which means no SEO ranking value). But hey, the world has more blog systems than wordpress, and yes some of them are DO-FOLLOW (so you links have some value). So just leave a relevant comment (not something spammy) and try to use your keyword as your name (yes, you'll get a lot of moderated comments or just rejects, but you WILL find some PR 4,5,6+ pages that will approve your site). If you are really interested in the regular expressions you search google to find those sites, PM me.
(btw: hint hint, Wordpress has plugins that give you link luv * cough, cough*)

Now if you love paying for stuff, you can always use, sponsored reviews, buying links (tnx is pretty cheap, but it's per month) and some other services).

Now assuming the keyword is really not competitive , a few links would do the job (even links from PR0 link directories that Indians do for low $$$, and links from articles and social bookmarking ).

A few other techniques would work, but it's almost 4am and I'm tired.

SEO is about the links and their anchors, and the more competitive the term is the more quality the links should be.

On page, title/headers/first paragraph is great, but the ranking is mostly in the links (and I'm talking about the regular search, when it comes to universal search - images/videos/news etc', you can add some factors and it's easier).

Bah, I gotta sleep

A few things:

1) Writing articles about keywords is a good idea. They will even get ranked naturally, based on on page factors alone because eza is an authority site.

2) Doing SEO on the URL's of your articles is a good idea for a few reasons. It will increase the ranking of that article in the search engine for whatever keywords you are targetting. Also, the value of the links from that article on EZA will increase as well, as you are increasing the page rank of that specific URL with your links on it.

How to get back links to your articles on EZA? The same way you get back links to any other site. You can do blog commenting, article submissions, forum link building, etc. You can't do stuff like directory submissions that only allow the domain based URL and not a full URL to any page.

3) Spinning your articles and doing article submissions is good for getting more links. You can include different links when you do this, and even put links back to the ezine articles article URL, rather than your own site.

However, doing article submissions and hoping those articles submitted ot hundreds of dirctories will get ranked and generate traffic as well the same way an article on EZA will is wishful thanking. Most of them are low grade sites that don't have any prmotion done on them, and barely any links.

[W.P. Allen]

Write your article and submit it to EZA. Once it's approved get the URL and backlink to it:

1.Create videos and submit them to TubeMogul
2.Squidoo pages
3.Other article directories
4.Social Bookmarking (WLMarketing.com has some good packages)
4.Linkvana
5.ArticleMarketingAutomation
6.Blog Commenting
7.Press releases
8.Yahoo answers
9.Forum posting
10.Angela's links
etc...

Try and pick a keyword that has a large number of searches each month and write an article around it. Then build links to it to try and get it to the first page of Google. Do this in a few niches and you could be looking at a lot of money each month. There's an excellent thread on the main forum that discusses how to maximize your profit from articles. Read the post by Jeremy Kelsall. It's one of the best I've read about making the most money from sending traffic to just a few articles.

Here's the thread:
How can you make $10,000 a month with article marketing?

Thank you Acraisal for positing the original question. I am an extreme newb and this entire thread string helped me a great deal. It was well worth the time reading through it this Sunday morning. Better than the old fish-wrapper.

Thanks to all (bdinc, jodc777, AggieMom, SEOArbiter, W.P.Allen, et. al.),but especially Alexa for your fine suggestions.

Thank you for driving this point for EZA> I haven't Thought about it. I'll try it and let you guys know.

If you want to get more traffic on your article post... then you have to do one thing that prepare unique content for your site....

In any kind of article submission site.... it support only fresh content.
One u use your content then you could not post again in same website.

once your article is approved and you get your link of article.. the do some social web marking post....
