Hey warriors,

Just wondering if I'm on the right track in terms of conversions and the niches I'm in out of 10 articles on ezine articles i usually get 2-3 sales with a 30%+ click through rate, I'm wondering if that's good/average or can be improved. Therefore I'm wondering how many sales you guys make per 10 articles on ezine?

      It's impossible to say really as it depends on the niche and whether or not your articles are getting ranked in the search engines. I have two niches where 100% of my traffic comes from Ezinearticles (they're so competitive that the articles won't rank in the search engines without alot of backlink building which I don't really have time for) and for those I'd get about 5 or 6 sales per 10 articles.

      For articles that get ranked then sales are pretty much unlimited if you're on the first page of Google. One of my best articles used to make at least 30 sales per month.

        How long is a piece of string? I've had 3 sales in a day from 6 articles, and no sales from 15 articles. All you can do is tip the odds in your favor - write good articles, have a good landing page/pre sell page, sell a good product etc. The rest is up to them. If you hit the right person at the right time, they'll get their credit card out there and then It's dependent on so many factors. I think it's better to look at averages with a higher volume of articles - maybe 25, 50 or 100. That said though, I'm still learning and only really threw my hat into the article marketing ring a couple of months ago.

Over the last six to eight months I have published 28 (I think) articles to EZA and have had one sale. For me, article marketing is a total waste of time, and money.

        I have read more threads on the wonderful technique of article marketing, and every time I just think, I wish I could figure out why it is that I can't sell anything with articles and so many people rave about it. O well!

          you can analyze where you are going wrong..

          do your articles get lots of views?

          if no then your keywords titles need looking at.

          Do you have a CTR over 20% on average?

          If not review how you write your resource boxes.

          Make you articles short 250-300 words is enough this usually keeps the resource box above the fold.

          Depends more on the number of click throughs than the number of articles, in addition to what niche it is in. Some articles get hundreds or even thousands of click throughs, other have clicks in single digits.

          Anyway, I used to average about 1 sale for 7 articles which I thought was quite good (low views on most of my articles )

          How many people do you get from an article to your site to make 3-4 sales from 10 articles?

          What's your niche?

          Some niche like the forex for example will give you a very high ROI. Some niche are article marketing friendly...

          Plus for some niches, you can't have the same approach. As an example, in the forex market if you write informative articles you'll make a killing because readers are newbies who want to spend money and learn (forex is not easy to get in). If you provide good info, you'll make a lot of money.

          Now, with the IM niche, you don't have the same approach than the marketer promoting bed bugs stuff. In IM LOT of competition, and you really need to think outside the box to get your articles (and website) ranked. You need to drive traffic to a squeeze, etc...

          You need to know your niche, and your article marketing tactic.

          the bottom line: change your niche OR change the product.

          All the best,
          Franck

          Tim you have to remember that there are a ton bullsh*tters here.

          Most of the folks here don't even know what they are talking about.
          That's why their crap doesn't work.

      I think everyone else skipped over this question... but no you can't. I've had articles rejected for this when I accidentally put in the wrong link

        You can if you use a top level domain - lots of people buy cheap .info domains at Godaddy and just use those to link direct to the affiliate product. It's more profitable in the long run to create a landing page and send your traffic to that though.

          Actually, Ezine Articles has recently been investigating links and declining them if they "seem to commercial". That means that redirect URLs get declined occasionally as well.

            Here's a quote from Ezinearticles.com
            Affiliate links will be allowed if the link is a domain name you own which forward/redirects to the affiliate link from the top-level of the domain name.
            Your resource box is always going to be 'commercial' - you're allowed 2 self serving links in your resource box. Whenever I test a new product I always use a redirect and have never had an article declined for that reason.

    It really depends on what you do with your articles. If you jist write 10 articles and submit them to ezine or goarticles or whereever and don't touch them again then you won't be making much. But if you are able to get a few hundreds of views per article then you could make more then 10 sales for sure.

    All the best

    I've gotten 8 sales from the 26 articles I have on ezine so far, also with about 30% CTR

    Like everyone else is saying though, depends on other factors besides just quantity of articles.

    For me, these sales have come from ezine traffic.....I've seen maybe 1 of my articles ranking in google and that's about it.

    Way too many variables on this question to give an accurate answer. Article marketing makes money but milage may vary given the number of different factors involved.
