Starting an Article Marketing Campaign and NEED YOUR ADVICE.

Ezine Articles will definitely get you the most exposure.

Hopefully you are submitting totally unique content, if so, you will be allright.

This is kind of a "loaded" subject...but here are some tips...

-Emulate the articles that are most viewed in the category you are submitting to, but make them better.
-Make sure your catchy, with a lot of specificity and maybe throw in numbers (like 5 ways to... 3 tips for...)
-Instead of emulating the articles that are most viewed, you could also find keywords that are under-served, create articles around those keywords, then they have a better chance of ranking in Google. Then you can make those the next "most viewed" articles.
-Then, just pay attention to what types of articles are getting the most viewed and try to stick with those topics, constantly improving on CTR, views, etc...

If you are looking to get the most out of your articles, EZA sure is not the place to do it .. Instead of typing up this long reply maybe it is best you spend the time reading the "entire" thread.

You do want to get the most bang for your buck.

1. Put the article on you website before posting it to Ezines.
2. Use the articles in an Email Campaign.
3. When your articles have been approved send tweet the URL.
4. Combine the articles and create a free report or Ebook.
5. Let you Facebook friends know about the articles.
6. Be active on forums in your niche that will let you put what you want in your bio box.

All good advice so far. I'd add - although it might be too late if you're already at the writing stage - to do some keyword research before and build a list of niche keywords for which you can get those articles ranked at Google. You appear to be going for the quantity approach, and that can work. I and many others prefer the quality approach - where you first find keywords that can be ranked for without a lot of extra work. Then you write articles around them and maybe do a bit of backlinking after to get them on Page 1 at Google. That's how you build long-term, sustainable traffic to your site from your articles. The advantage with EZA is the ranking juice they pass on to articles posted there. If you combine that with good keyword selection, you can build a juggernaut.

Of course, that's just one side of the equation. You also have to write the articles in a way that pushes the readers' buttons and gets a good % of them to click your link. In a nutshell, you do that with this formula:

1. Inspire curiosity (article title).
2. Hold their interest. (article body).
3. Don't give the "real" answer(s) away (article body).
4. Offer the "real" answer(s) at the end (resource box).
5. Explicitly tell them to click your link (resource box).

Works like a charm.

Hi Robert,

Posting 5 articles a day to EZA for 30 days will get you some exposure, that's for sure!

I'd post them to your own site though first, preferably a blog (maybe you've already done that, but just in case), since it's your content after all, and you do want to have your content on your own turf. And absolutely follow some of the good linkback advice here, especially from the two Johns.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Bruce

Good advice above, but to add to that:

1.) don't assume that the most viewed are your most profitable - track your resulting sales and find out!
2.) don't assume that ezinearticles will be your most profitable directory. ArticlesBase.com is excellent also, and at times outperforms Ezine for me.
3.) submit to at least 10 decent directories; the also-rans make up for about 1/3 of my sales, sometimes more.
