EzineArticles WordPress Plugin - Massive timesaving Article Marketing plugin

I worry that EzineArticles will get their version of the article approved, published and indexed before my self-hosted version is indexed. It would be nice if we could schedule when the plugin sent the article to EZA. If it would wait a few days after I published it, I'd sleep easier at night.

I have had some problems with the EZA plugin on one of my sites.

Turns out it needs php v5, so check you have that installed. I moved to a new server and its all hunky-dorey again.

Great. Let me know how you get on.

With a little editing before pressing submit to EZA you can use the exact same article. And keeping your content unique is pretty impossible anyway. If its good someone will already have copied it. So why not put it on EZA and get some extra traffic.

In the author box you can link to another post on your site, or even to the same article.

1. As long as you publish the content to your site first and it gets indexed then you will be fine, having duplicates elsewhere won't harm you.. it actually means you can reuse the same content and just use it for some quick, simple backlinks.

2. Yes they do approve it - this is a common misconception that EZA content has to be unique - the only thing that matters is that you own the content. If it is listed on your site, especially under the same name as your EZA author it will be fine.

3. As mentioned you would have to do a little editing - just quickly strip the images and links out of your article and your standard resource box would point back to you as normal.


Sounds like a decent tool, and definitely a time saver! I will be using this a bit myself next time.

Simple. Don't syndicate everything. Write two types of articles.

First write well-researched, authority articles that are for your site only, and then write articles for syndication that deep link to your authority articles. The syndication-designated articles would be submitted to the directories.

Plugin has been updated and works better than before - it is very simple to use and a no brainer for those of us with blogs.

Absolutely agree. A genuine timesaver, and works very very well.

It would matter to me.

I want all my content indexed on my own site before I submit it to EZA. Like all the successful experienced article marketers in this thread.

That's how I end up with my own "becoming authority sites". You have to get your material indexed on your own site first, in the long run, otherwise you end up with a site that's outranked by an article directory for its own keywords!

Seriously, this is exactly how so many people screw up with article marketing, and then they end up building backlinks to the EZA copy, in desperation, because their own site can't even outrank a non-context-relevant PR-0 page in an article directory! And that's just "the descending ceiling". :rolleyes: :p

I hear you. But it looks like in post #5 above, you answered this question yourself (and rather well?), in April of last year.

I don't happen to use Wordpress, myself, so I can't comment from experience on this toy, but it sounds pretty good to me, subject to the solution to the very good and valid point you make above. Meanwhile those of us not using Wordpress will just have to submit by hand (which takes me only a minute or two, to be fair).
