Article Writing

[kah22]

I'd appreciate some advice

As part of my campaign to bring more visitors to my Dog Blog, I've written a series of ten articles on dog training which I'm going to post on Ezine Articles and a few other article banks (what are your top five article banks?). Now I'm wondering what is the best way to go about this.

1. Post all the articles at once and name them something like: Train Your Puppy - 'One Of Ten' and so on up to Train Your Puppy - 'Ten Of Ten.' or
2. Post them say a day apart, say two or three days after they've appeared on my blog, and give them a very specific name e.g 'Teach Your Dog To Sit,' and rely on the the resource box to take visitors to the blog.

I'm assuming for Google to see them as original content they should appear on my blog first of all.

Many thanks for any suggestions
Kevin

Hello,

I assume that because you have written the articles you have done some keyword reasrch? if you havent I would reccomend do this. You will be able to laser target your articles then!

I would not do 1of10 ect I would make each article have a catchy relevent headline all keyword rich.

I submit ezine and go articles I also have incansofts article bot which submits ot a rake load more!

I hope that has helped

Danny

Absolutely what saneeb said above.

EzineArticles most likely won't accept your article if they discover it's already online. Even posted on your own blog.

If it's on your own site they will accept it.

Having said that I always submit unique content to eza

Just wondering...WHY?

[emnezarb]

I agree with most of the suggestions here...submit to EZA first or keep it totally unique. You can then using an article submitter/service and send spun versions for quantity backlinks.

This is completely untrue! PLEASE stop posting such ill-informed misinformation! It will help you a lot to read this thread, which explains and proves, in great detail, how wrong you are!

Alexa laying the smack down :>)) People seem to be making assumptions based on the word unique and not actual results from actions.

[Rod Cortez]

Use the search function of the forum, choose the advanced search mode, and type in "article marketing" for your keyword and then choose the option to only search on the titles only. You will find a TON of useful threads that already discuss your question.

Well, honestly, the idea that EZA will reject articles that are already published elsewhere is just too ludicrous for words. Almost all my article clients wisely publish my work first on their own sites/blogs (for all the reasons so patiently explained in the thread I linked to above) and subsequently on EZA.

[Matt M]

As for titles, you should use keywords and then related keywords.

"Train Your Puppy - How To Keep Your Puppy From Biting" "Train Your Puppy - Stop Your Puppy From Peeing On The Floor".

Also, read the thread Alexa has linked to.

How come no one reads the TOS at these places?

Matt

p.s. Chris Knight from EzineArticles has stated in his own newsletter that you can submit your article to many directories. He obviously tries to sway you from doing this but you don't get rejected for it.

Thanks Alexa for stepping in there. I submitted my first five articles to EZA yesterday, after i had published the on my blog, and i was getting very worried as i read down!

[Ben Roy]

The correct order for using articles is probably:

your site -> EZA -> as many other place as you can stand to post it.

I've never had one rejected for being on other sites (certainly not my own site), but the more widely it's distributed the more likely you'd be to get questioned. You need to post it on your own site first though so that you get authority credit for the content.

Few months back my own ezinearticles account was deactivated from further submissions because I submitted an article which was already on one of my blog. After which I request them (emailed) to reactivate my account with an assurance that it will never happen again, they did reactivate my account after that. I am also tired with a 10 day wait for an article to go live if you have a free account.

[Dal.K]

As long as you own the content, it doesn't matter if you submit it to Ezine Articles first or second. You own the content remember that, which is why Alexa made it clear that you don't have to submit your content to Ezine first.

Try and syndicate your articles for maximum exposure.

Sorry Ben, but this is not always the case.

<edited>

Today, Google could care less where it was first. They are concerned with with other things at the moment, and it's beginning to look like its more than just which site is more powerful.

Seems they have so many other things to worry about that their new algo's are screwing up their old ones. Shame.

I think they'll get it together soon though. I am doing some testing right now and I will be watching very closely.

I submit my original content to my site first . This is not to assure Google recognizes me as the original author, it is to up the value of my online real estate .

Keyword: Rabbit Teeth In Monkey grass

Two Pages on my site

1: mysite.com/rabbitteethinmonkeygrass

2: mysite.com/rabbit-teeth-in-monkey-grass

An original article is written for each page .

I then submit both articles to not only EZA , but to a boat load of article directories .

Article 1 (Submitted to directory) points to article 2 in my site .

Article 2 (submitted to directory) points to article one in my site .

All point to the same keyword .

I never point the articles in my site to the articles in any directories .

These articles are used to build my list . My autoresponder makes the first attempt the sale .

I was told, by a very smart article marketer, never to link back to the directories or it would make your links from them reciprocal.

I don't know that to be a fact but it makes enough sense that I have never tried it .

Definitely submit them with keyword-specific titles.

Great advice . I would also suggest .

• Keyword in title with a piece of the long tail again in the title
• KW in the opening sentence .
• Kw as close to maximum saturation as allowed by the directory . Still never put a keyword in just for kw density . Make it flow for the reader . If the directory allows 4% that is 4 times per 100 words .
• KW in closing sentence
• KW in the anchor text .
• Link in sig file pointing to a page named after the KW

They accept duplicate content if it is on your site. I always post first to my site and then to ezine articles'.

Great read, thanks for the post.

[Evelyn Leng]

I learnt something about publishing articles in both own blog and ezinearticle.com. Thanks for sharing!

[Chris Parker]

I post to EZA first, once published then post to other article sites. Works for me.

Gotta maximize that exposure to be sure.

[Marhelper]

I try to post a unique article to EZA and then the same article with 70% rewrite to the site.
