    I think the Variety method, 1 ezine, 1 goarticle etc, as you are getting a mixture of links from websites of different Page rank, rather than just from 1 website with the same PR.

    i am just assuming though, others might clarify this more

      Yes I assumed the same but I heard since ezine has strong review process the link will actually weigh more.

        That may be the case but google will only count the strongest ezine and not worry about the rest.

          What do you mean by that? Could you go a bit further in explaining this?

            What I think he may be trying to explain, and correct me if I am wrong, is that Google will only grab the best article with the best content and keyword relevance and simply ignore the best. This means that if one of the articles is far superior than the others for that particular niche, it will index the one with superior quality and whose keywords have the most relevance to the content. Now, I know it sounds weird, but I have had to rewrite some articles for clients who have been faced with similar situations; where their articles were rejected by ezine and not by other directories. I may be wrong but this is what I have heard from clients constantly.

            In my opinion I think having a variety of incoming links from different high PR directories is better than one. Hey, although the Easter bunny does it we shouldn't, so don't put all your eggs in the same basket. Spread them out, taking of course into consideration, site relevance (to your niche), and rank.

              No... It has nothing to do with indexing, it will index them all.

              Basically, if you get a link from a place like Ezine or any website for that matter. Lets say you have 100 ezines on there, if your 100 articles all link to www.yoursite.com then you will not get link juice for all 100 of them articles and will only receive link juice from 1 of them. That is why I would 1 ezine articles links to various places on my site and rinse and repeat through out the other 10.

              Of course, the aim is to get that ezine article to a high PR so it becomes a very valuable back link.

                It's a little more complex than that.

                EZA is considered a higher authority than Go Articles for a number of reasons. So if you were to create the exact same article, optimizing it for the same keyword in both of them, EZA will more than likely show up on the front page over Go Articles.

                They key is actually your keyword phrase. It's not enough to try to rank for a long-tail keyword, you've got to also know how difficult it will be to rank for the keyword.

                Go onto SEOChat.com and use their Keyword difficulty tool. If you should be looking for 50% difficulty or lower. 60% or higher could take up to 2 years to rank for. You might have to pick a ton of keywords. Think of your targeted audience.

                Once your article is up on EZA, send links to it. Twitter it. RSS it. Facebook it. Obviously, you can have more than one EZA article. Remember, that your articles are kind of like pages on the big website that is called EZA. So the more links you get to your articles, the more links they get, too, further strengthening their page ranking and authority with Google. Win-win situation.

                If you have the money, pay for a good SEO company to send links to your articles from good websites. They've got to be from good neighborhoods, not crappy sites. It's gonna cost you. Be prepared to pay around $500 to $700. I had 400 links sent to my Squidoo and it's been getting some daily traffic, but I should have chosen a better keyword phrase to give them to link to. So do your research well.

                You may want to try Linx Boss. They'll give one domain (website) 1000 links a month for $127 a month, and you can do up to 5 different domains. Cheaper than most other places and supposedly from very good neighborhood websites. What's cool about their site is that you're linking to one domain, but you can switch out URLs.

                In other words, say you want 1000 links a month to EZA and you've got 5 articles. You can rotate those five articles so they get equal link juice time. I want to try them, but I've got to wait until my budget allows.

                Building links is still a time consuming process. Don't think you'll get massive traffic in a day or even a few months, but with the more links you've got (permanent, preferably), you'll begin to notice you'll start to have a daily stream of traffic.

                  Sorry for not making myself clear everyone.
                  I meant how would articles do in terms of link building for a micro niche sites?

                  edit:
                  People say xfactor only uses ezine articles for backlinks. Wouldnt it be more effective to spread them out between directories as I had mentioned in my original post?

                    The way I do it is I get an original article to EZA and spin version to the rest of directories

    Depends on the PR and authority of other sites. If it's better then EZA then I don't have a personal relationship with EZA

    I'd just do one in Article Productions and let them put it on 150 different sites with unique IPs
