Ezine Aricle or Own Site?

Arnold JVR · 08-04-2009, 10:54 PM

Hallo,

I have an important question regarding SEO,

I've seen ezine articles outrank sites with over 300 backlinks which are optimized for the keyword phrase in question. The article only had 12 backlinks.

What I'm trying to say is what is the fastest way to get on first page for a rather competitive keyword, writing an ezine article and getting some high quality back links to it or building a word press blog, submitting site map, rss & social bookmarking etc.

How much link authorisy does ezinearticles.com carry over to your article and does it really make a big difference comparing to creating a well on site and off site optimized word press blog?

This is also only talking about ranking for one keyword, I don't really care about the fact that you'll be able to rank for other ralated terms with the wordpress blog.

thank you

It's not even a tough decision. EZA wins out big time. If you aren't putting that article on a pretty well established site that Google checks out often, it's no contest. And if you're talking about setting up a brand new WP blog or static site on a new domain - forgetaboutit!

HOWEVER...

Put the article on both. It's your property. Use it to its full extent. Use it on your blog for your human readers and your own authority building purposes (you personally). Use it on EZA (with backlinks) for the ranking position and traffic flow.

Referring to:

"Ok guys, let me tell you something that happened this week. It's probably the fastest possible way to make money online.

This sort of happened by accident.

I was doing some keyword research for one of my clients and stumbled upon a long tail keyword phrase (5 words) that has 4,000 daily search results and at that time (one week ago) it had less than 3,000 competition.

Anyway, I was able to grab the hyphenated .com domain for that keyword.

Being way too lazy that day (and hangovered as well) I couldn't bother myself to build a website, I went to Blogger opened a blog, made 10 blog posts optimized with the keyword, transfered the domain to that blog and submitted the site map to the search engines.

Then I used a social bookmarking submission automated software (BIG Mike's SocialBot) to get backlinks to all the pages of my blog (every blog post is considered a page and so are the comments for each post).

Take into account that the keyword is completely informative, it doesn't really have commercial value, but I thought what the heck ANYTHING can be monetized. So I went to Clickbank grabbed a related product and spread my affiliate link all over the blog.

Today I just did a Google search for the keyword and I'm in position #1. I logged to my Clickbank account and I already made 7 sales in ONE day.

All this costed me $8 for the domain name, about 2-3 hours worth of work and it will make me passive residual income forever without me having to lift a single finger.

Myths Dispelled:

1. Hyphenated domains are crap for SEO.
2. Keywords need to have commercial value (This proves ANYTHING can be monetized).
3. Making fast cash is not possible.
4. Out ranking authority sites is hard (My 1 week old PR0 blog is out ranking PR8 websites for that keyword).
5. Mass instant backlinks don't work.

Enjoy!"

As I don't have enough posts yet I can't post a link, this is directly from Daniel's post.

I would definitely say it's a tough decision.

Myth NOT dispelled (because it isn't a myth at all):

1. New content gets what's called a QDF bump at Google. QDF = Query Deserves Freshness.

Google it and learn about it. What that post describes is largely due to QDF, which is significant and (alas) short-lived. Ask that poster where the site ranks in a couple or three weeks. Betcha it has dropped substantially. If not, then it might just be one of those KW's with such extremely low competition that it will rank high simply on the merits of its on-page SEO factors.

Rank longevity matters most, of course. And EZA articles built around longtail KW's with some good backlinking hold their ranking positions quite nicely. Trust me, I've been doing article marketing through them for over 5 years now.

You need to use the search feature on Warrior Forum. There are some HUGE threads already on this subject.

Article on site or EZA first ?

There's the thread Charles mentioned. No offense, but you wouldn't even have had to search hard to find this info.

The thread was posted on as recently as earlier today, and the topic was covered extensively already. Check it out, and will probably answer all your questions.

Arnold JVR · 08-05-2009, 12:22 AM

@ Zues66

That is interesting,

He also recommends using Paul and Angela's dofollow backlinks, these could then help keep your site in that spot combined with all the back links from SB & RSS.

But the question might be how long will Google keep your site on first page?

@ charles

Thank you I will do a search, although my question is vague

@ Keith

That post is not what I asked, but thanks

You know a little search would have answered this for you without hearing any bad advice... No offense to anyone but it is a proven fact EZA can be easily outranked and EZA should NOT be the place to post your article first, YOUR OWN SITE SHOULD BE.

Thank you for your reply, my thread title might be misunderstood. I'll do a search first.

I didn't want to know where to post my article first. One guide tells you to do this, another tells you to do that. One only uses websites, the other one only uses articles.

What I really wanted to know is when comparing how well you can optimize a blog for SEO to the link authority an article receives from the high PR top level domain which one would rank better with the same amount of back links.

Lutz80 · 08-05-2009, 12:55 AM

I personally use my own site , for the main reason I have total control over my stuff. and thats the way I like it but ezine can get you good rankings for good quality articles. I should say that I do use ezine but not as my main source of content. I use it for backlinks. but you can get it up quick using ezine.
