ArticlesBase, The New EZA?

[GoGetta]

Hi Warriors,

Ok, how many of you submit to Articles Base and what sort of results have you had?

You see, I set myself a challenge yesterday to focus on my affiliate sites a little more and I intend to to the 5 articles a day over 30 days to see if articles still work!

Anyway, I posted around 15 articles to EZA over the past 48 hours and around 7 of them were published already, the joy of PLATINUM status!

Anyway, last night I was thinking of things to do to promote my affiliate sites and I thought I would fire my articles that were published to Articles Base and Go Article, generally for a few easy backlinks!

Now I posted the exact same articles to them last night!

This morning I check my keywords and only 1 of my EZA articles is top page of Google but I have found 4 out of the 7 articles on the top page that were posted to ArticlesBase!

I was blown a way for a second as most are top 5 postions for the keywords.

I have also noticed recently that ArticlesBase is really growing within the SE's and I for one love the instant approvals.

But in less than 24 hours I am top page of Google for chosen article keywords! WOW!

How long this lasts I will see but for now the traffic is nice! ; )

So, any warriors experience the same? If you are yet to give it a go, go and grab some of your own published articles at EZA and do the same, see what happens! ; )

article base is awesome ! I've also got two articles, one in the construction niche and one in electronic goods niche, both staring at me on the first page of google for my keywrods!

but yeah, articlebase rocks ! Also, feedage and feedagg have been really good for my RSS feeds, also hitting the first page !

[acedalright]

Articlebase is the best, I love nofollow links in my articles instead of dofollow ones.

Who wants link juice when you can spend your hard earned time and effort building unique content for someone else' site and watch them earn money.

Yay!


I don't add my articles to Ezinearticles anymore, because Google keeps counting those author links as links to my site and thus increases my PR and that sucks.


Just kidding.

Sorry, it just reeked of a one-two knockout schill.

No harm intended guys, I just believe nofollow article directories bit the big one. There just seems something really unfair about taking someones content and not giving them a measly dofollow link for the trouble.

I wouldn't ask someone to paint my house and not offer them a drink.

Articlesbase is great, I have good results there, it is in my top5 directories very close to EZA

While I am not doubting or questioning your results, you may also want to do searches on other computers from time to time. Often times search results will be skewed based on your personal search history and settings on your computer as well.

Again I am not saying that this is the case with your results, only that it does happen on a regular basis. I have seen many people claim that they own the top position or even the front page and never seen them anywhere near the top when the same keywords are searched from other computers.

As for article marketing, covering a series of articles focusing on the same long-tailed keywords to numerous article directories will always provide better results than relying on any single directory in my personal experience and humble opinion.

The link juice from EZA is not all that great. If you check the PR of your articles even after backlinking them like mad, it never goes above 1, and that's rare. So you get a badly watered down (by all the other links on the page) link from a PR0 or NR page -- whoopdeedoo!

On the other hand, you do tend to get clicks from EZA, and I don't see too many clicks from the other article directories.

[Andrew O]

I submit to ArticleBase as part of my strategy, but I wouldn't say it's the #1 source of link juice or traffic or anything like that, but it's a good resource to submit to as part of an overall strategy

Is this the case only when logged into your Google account!

I know what you mean though, but I have found that this is only the case when logged into Google. But I may be wrong?

I have just tested this with 3 more recent articles!

We will see!

While that is certainly one of the most compelling causes it also seems to depend on other factors such as geographical locations and other factors. Some of that could be related to the issues with other people's SEO efforts and promotions as well though. Still, if the articles are well written and have a call to action encouraging the readers to visit your site, it should not matter which of the articles ranks higher as long as you control the SERP. Again, just my humble opinion but it does bear some testing too.

As for all the no-follow links and such, While I average a good amount of traffic from articles on EZA, there are other directories where my articles are downloaded and spread around the web with much greater results for me personally. When the links back to my site are included in the posting of that material, I get the link love and a good amount of traffic.

Hi,

You can use google's scroogle scraper to check your exact serps position with no bias.

Here's the link Scroogle Scraper

After a shaky few months with Ezine, now with my platinum status, it is my no1 again but as you say Articlesbase is still pretty good for keyword rank.

Cheers

[Anomaly1974]

Ahhhhh, which reminds me that your position on the SERP may also be different on the wide array of Google Servers as well.

Still, very nice tool! Thanks!

[Marhelper]

I have done very well with EZA but I must admit that I am seeing more and more articles from Articlebase ranking in the SERPS.

Do tell which other directories

[robinincarolina]

I just started using Articlebase last week and have noticed an increase in traffic and a few additional sales. I am still pretty new and I just do it because I was told to, so I don't have the details as to the how and why.

Yes, please do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.

[yves]

I think he might be referring to Articledashboard, which is another good directory to get your articles published on other websites.

[Amenda Jessera]

Ya man, I think google loves article base a lot. As soon as the article is being published on article base, they do get index by google quicker than EZA.

However, I am getting more referal traffic via EZA than article base.

If I suspect this is happening, I pop into the computer lab at my local library and repeat the searches. Since these machines are used by many random people all day long and the network admin wipes the history every night, the results should be as 'real' as it gets. About the only bias left would be geographical, if any.

[GoGetta]

Hey John,

Thanks!

Yes, I meant grab your OWN published articles, I will edit the post now, I didn't realise that! hehe

I told a long time ago that Article Base was becoming a big player. It's happening now.

Article Dashboard is certainly one of my favorites for getting my writing out across the web. Article Trader actually occasionally shows some really positive results as well. (Although I do not use their paid services as somehow, those rarely pan out to any improvement in rank or numbers to justify the expense for me personally) and any of the ones that regularly send out e-zines with articles included to their mailing lists are my personal favorites.

Public libraries should work great. I use the net cafes here in the Philippines where I am living now. Same principle and some often surprising results.

[ebizman87]

Yes.Majority of my articles rank above EZA.It's far more better than EZA in term of SE ranking. And the good thing is that your articles will be approved instantly..Try to bookmark your AB articles and you can push it's SE ranking!! Good luck

[Marhelper]

The weird thing is that Articlebase is only a PR3 as opposed to EZA being a PR6.

Guess AB has better internal backlinks system compared with EZA..and who cares about PR..one of my site is PR1 but it's already ranked 5th for my main keyword with 12,000 monthly search!!

I really depends on what you are using your articles for. Some marketers are redirecting directly to sales pages, so don't care about nofollow. Others are just looking for traffic from the article. Some don't know that articlesbase uses nofollow on their anchors.

thanks for the info.
