Sharing my success story with ezinearticles...(Article marketing)

[writerhere]

hello,

I have a small team of content writers..recently I planned to create a few sites on general topics like health, cosmetic surgery, making money online etc.

Now coming to the promotion of the site, these days there are a whole lot of promotion techniques. But I planned to use Article marketing and my team wrote highly optimized articles on my niche. As an expert author in ezine, i did not find difficulty in publishing it.

I had also submitted to high PR directories like go articles, article base, hub pages.

After a week i happen to see the reports and i had over 100 url clicks, and the webmaster tools showed that I was getting good reciprocal links and the visiblity of the sites was better.

I went on to give this service to some of my friends at a nominal rate of $45 for 10 optimized articles written and submitted. As a webmaster and a content provider I was satisfied..

Do you have any more views on the article marketing method?

[GeorgR.]

I myself shifted from adwords to Article marketing, and its pretty successful, especially with clickbank. Some of "my" articles have thousands and thousands of views. I use EZA mainly, i also outsourced some writing and hardly write any myself anymore. Some i also put on goarticles or articlesbase, but that's about it.


I use market samurai for keyword research. People say that you need to find niches, low competition markets. That's right, but most sales come actually from a very competive product/keyword.

Key is...keep articles going in constantly...like 2x week *at least*...keep volume high, write (or let write) as MANY articles as possible.

For some articles i use simple redirect domains which redirect to the CB afflink...and for some products i made my own "review style" pages.

If you have a team of writers (you can find them on forums)...and you get a constant nr. of GOOD articles up on EZA each and every week - its a surefire way to make some serious cash.

Finding good writers is actually the hardest part about that whole thing.

I tried the redirect method and EZA no longer allows that. They wouldnt approve my pending articles until i removed the redirect.

[GeorgR.]

dont put the redirect in the article. The link must still be a normal, top level domain. Like xyzname.com But then install a redirect on your domain so that xyzname.com goes to your aff link. Works here and i get those also approved.

I have been doing this for a couple of years now and done quite well.

although im pretty new at internet marketing, I use article marketing almost exclusively and it produces results I like.

I write all the articles myself and it does take some time.
I will digg and stumble my articles also for more links and sometimes get higher rankings in the search engines.

thanks for the post.

This forum is such a wealth of information I learn something every minute here.
I too have gotten into Article marketing and find it challenging at times, but fun.

I have been able to successfully re-author and distribute many articles across
several directories.

I must mention I learned to do that from a WSO right here in this forum.

I've been using Brad Callen's article submitter, which bring up another question/topic.
What do you think of using auto-submit software and if you have used it,
has it provided a better or worse click through than a Manual submit?

"Writerhere", have you employed the auto submit method or do you guys manually
submit?

Regards,
Jeff Anderson.

I don't think you'll find a difference in CTR whether you use an article submitter or not. It just automates the manual process. I use Brad's submitter as well and it saves me so much time!

Not to be confused with third party article submission sites that supposedly submit your articles to thousands of directories. I don't use those.

I'm no doubt going to show my IM ignorance by asking this but how in the heck can anyone make money writing, let alone optimizing and submitting articles for $4.50?

I've written a weekly column for several years and even though I write about a familiar subject that I worked in for over thirty years it still takes me the better part of a day to write a good 700 to 800 word column. When I have to do research which is seldom each column takes appreciably more time.

I don't understand how people can spin out articles so cheaply.

[Ernie Mitchell]

After rereading my above post I feel obliged to clarify that I am in no way insinuating that because articles can be purchased for such a bargain price that they are in any cheap of substandard. I just don’t personally understand how anyone can create them for so little $$$.

Perhaps I’m just slow in my writing because of all the brain cells I killed in my younger days. The 60s were really good to me.

Article marketing works in the long run but cpc campaigns work better for short term results. Article marketing becomes much cheaper in the long run.
