Marlon Sanders - Is He Correct on This - This Could Change Everything!

[LilBlackDress]

I just read a post by Marlon Sanders who is certainly an inspiration!

In one post however, he states that you could submit 1000 articles to ezine articles but because it is all coming from one IP address ...Google only gives you credit for ONE link for a specific keyword phrase. (Tip No. 7 Oct 14th post SEO cheat sheet) at MarlonsNews dot com)

So if I submit more than one article to ezines with a specific phrase, it would only count ONE time.

Now I understand if I post on the same forum numerous times my signature link only gets counted once. But I never extended that thought to ezine articles.

If this is true, and the goal is backlinks it would make more sense to only use the keyphrase once in article for ezines.

Thoughts?

Google also likes fresh content, so you'd want to keep submitting articles with your keyword phrase in order to keep that backlink fresh, no?

[LilBlackDress]

The way I read it is if you submitted 1000 different articles to ezines articles BUT used the same Keyword phrase in each of those articles, you are only going to get credit for 1 single backlink because it is coming from the same IP address.

I can't say if it's true or not but it has always been my the theory in my own mind, that's the reason we don't rely on one directory. The key is to get a little bit of every bodies juice. You can only get but so much from one place.

If you think about it lots of articles from the same domain, linking to the same site might be considered as a spamming technique to people and search engines alike.

I think his statement is very very logical, enough that it should make anyone submitting to one place stepping back and thinking about what their doing and why but as I stated before, I don't have any proof.

Ezine is powerful but it's not the all powerful

Let's say you submit 1 article with your keyword phrase.

Someone else submits 3 articles a day with that same keyword phrase.

You might each have one backlink in Google's "mind", but whose backlink is going to be worth more? Yours, which may be months old, or the other person's whose backlink is always fresh?

[LilBlackDress]

This just may change my approach. I kept thinking when I wrote for ezine articles that each keyword counted each time I used it giving me a nice link and a good one coming from ezine articles...it never crossed my mind that since it was coming from the same place it might only count once.

I dont know a lot about IP addresses....but would Ezine Articles have more than one?

I have articles there that match this criteria that is they are targeted for the same keywords but they point to different sites. Both sites are in a very competitive niche an well they are seeing link love from EZ from different articles.

These articles have been up for just over two years.

It is something worth noting ... anyone else?

This is my point, you aren't pointing them all to the same location, like I said above if you were to point 10 articles from a single location and they all point to the same single location, I don't think you'll get much more love than one or two as far as seo goes, now traffic is another story.

I wouldn't waist my time giving all my article's to ezine unless they were spun maybe one fresh article pointing to the same page and/or domain

Where I see the greatest success is multiple articles spun with different keywords to many different directories. I usually have the best success on spun submissions if I can get an article above 40% uniqueness and my targeted keywords are around 1.5-3 % density. Of course in the niche your in I have seen better success with some keyword phrases as high as 8-9% density.

[LilBlackDress]

So bottomline then ~

For backlink purposes it does not make sense to submit more than 1-2 articles to ezine articles using the same keyword.

For traffic etc. yes but for Google backlink purposes no.

Any other thoughts on this?

Would Ezine Articles have more than one IP address or would Google know the keyword phrase is coming from there so it does not matter anyway?

[Kelly Verge]

If your articles are top-notch, over time they'll get published. Each time they are published you get a backlink (from a different IP than EZA ).

I've had much more success getting articles published from EZA than from the other directories I've tried.

If you want click-through, your articles should be written for that purpose. If you're looking for maximum backlinks, however, you'll have to write your articles for mass publisher appeal.

[LilBlackDress]

But are we agreeing here that for just a backlink from Ezine Articles a keyword phrase would only count ONE time for each specific URL.

So if my key phrase is acne no more and I point it to a specific spot on my site.. I get credit for that ONE time only from Ezine Articles. And I could write a thousand articles and use the exact same keyphrase and URL and Google would not care but would only give me ONE credit if each time it is coming from Ezine Articles.

UNLESS...some publisher on another IP picks it up and publishes.

[MisterMunch]

I do not believe this is true.

Why do people link from relevant posts on their blogs? They should only need the link that goes to the post in the headline if this was true. Still the link gets higher in the search engines when you refer to it more times in your blog.

Why it that if you get in the top list of ezinearticles and you get links from all the articles in that category, your article starts to rank higher in the search?

Why do I jump in the search engines every time I submit a sitewide link through some recent comment field on a blog? 1000 backlinks from 1 blog is not the same as 1 link from the same blog.

Why do the big websites buy sitewide links?

Why does the top ranking website for so many keywords only have links from like 5 websites, but in the 100's or 1000's together from sitewide links?

[LilBlackDress]

Well if you make a lot of posts on a forum and have a signature link with a keyphrase is it counted over and over by Google?

So it does make sense that if it is not counted more than once than perhaps the link from a site such Ezine Articles is not either.
