Step By Step - How to get the MOST out of an Ezine Article!

[Sean Donahoe]

This is a great strategy that I have used a lot over the last few years. One thing I would add is when you submit to the other directories include 2 links. First one with the main keyword that points back the the Ezineartciles article and then use a related word to link back to your destination.

Regards

Like I said, thanks for sharing your tips, not trying to shoot down your method at all.

What if you put a call to action in the first resource box to your website and just write source: then link to your ezine article below the resource box, then you get the link juice and people will probably click the site link instead of the source link to eza.

This is the best info I got today!! I know this thread is really long but I have to say THANK YOU for this post. I am going over to my ezine account now....

Happy Halloween!

Hi Jeffrey,

I just came across your method of marketing your articles you submit to Ezine. I really appreciate it and see you did the post in 2008. Are you still doing them that way and is it still working?

I am just starting out in this biz and wanted to ask if you knew about the adsense. Using it in the resource box of my Ezine. Do I profit from those ads? I know I can't add adsense to my article, well, it shows up there if I add the link in my resource box. But do I profit or does Ezine just get more money from adsense for me posting my link?

Thanks and I will put this on the forum too,

I didn't realize you could put Adsense in your sig, however think about that one for a moment. Don't you want the reader to click on your sig and come through to your site? By putting Adsense there you're actually drastically reducing the chance that they'll click on your link. Sure, you'll make a few cents off their click, but why not have a shot at a sale or signup?

Hey Jeffrey, have you ever tried using hubpages or squidoo?

[ExtraB]

Jeff

Thanks for the great information!

I think that some people are worried about duplicate content. Now I am not going to say this is 100% correct but the general consensus seems to be that duplicate content is not an issue as far as Search Engine Rankings / Penalties if its not on the same site.

In other words two identical web pages on two different domains/sites is not going to get you penalized with the search engines. If the two identical/duplicate pages were on the same domain then yes it could get you penalized.

In my opinion following Jeff's strategy is not going to harm your search engine indexing.

And taking this strategy a step further... you could actually link to your EZineArticles.com article from other places as well. You may want to create a squidoo page and or hub page out of the article and have a link from there to EZA. Then go out and look for Blogs that have posts related to the topic of your EZA... make a comment on the blog and when it asks for your website link it to your EZA.

Once again nice strategy

Can I ask about Buzzle? Are your duplicate or the same articles were approved by buzzle? I believe buzzle do not approve the same article posted on other article directories. Even if I made slight modification on the article, they still reject or deleted the article.

Man this thread is a gem...

Could've sold this product for a few bucks!

Going to use every piece of advice, about to go nuts w/ article marketing :-)

[nandico]

Thanks for the outline. Great stuff.

[StephenDavies]

You are going to make some slight changes - on this resource box make one of the links point to your approved EZA article, and let the other still point to your webpage.

What a fantastice idea. I would never in a month of Sundays thought about linking to my Ezine Articles article from the other directories while at the same time continuing to link to your web site.

I'm surprised that the other directories allow you to do this though, link to another competing directory?

[John_Paduchak]

Thanks for the great idea. I'm definately going to put this to work right away. I also have 30 or 40 articles that I have only posted to EZA.

I also picked up another tip on WF that I'm beginning to test right now which is to use RSSbot or similar to submit your EZA rss feed for additional links.

This may just put me up there for the more consistent income I've been looking for.

You might not know it, a fellow warrior named Milan Kosanovic released a fantastic Article Submitter/Writer software called Automatic Article Submitter, i wrote a little review here.

This thing beats any article software i have seen so far, eg. it can create 200+ accounts automatically and it can verify them. It has an up-to-date list of the current article directories with their pagerank and traffic stats. It also contains a SEO keyword density analyzer as well as a superb spinner !! and modules for getting article ideas. It can also post and distribute content to your own blogger.com and wordpress blogs!

Its not only the best "submitter" but really a full blown suite for any serious article marketer. I myself have not even seen 20% of what it can actually do, thats why i kept my review short. I am still learning about the features

[Ryan700]

Whew, what a long thread. I had to make sure this wasn't addressed. I think that some people are missing one big point of linking to their EZA article from other article directories.
If you look at the bottom of your article at EZA there are three sections.:

• Other Recent EzineArticles from the xxxxxxxxxxx Category:

• Most Viewed EzineArticles in the xxxxxxxxxxxx Category (90 Days)

• Most Published EzineArticles in the xxxxxxxxxxxx Category

If you noticed #2 is most viewed. When you link to your article from the other directories chances are your article will show up in this list for the category you placed your article in. So even if it seems to be a wasted effort that people who have seen your article click and get taken to an identical article at EZA it gives your article more views and may eventually get you listed here for every article in this category.
I don't know about you but when I do research for an article I'm writing I look at this list for more information about what I'm writing about. Sometimes I click through a lot of these "most viewed" articles.

Great method. I have submitted some really good articles but have never considered this before as I still have a great deal to learn.

Thanks for the list as well.

[newbyr]

Thank you so much from a full time writer for laying out the details of EZA and how to use them in the best way. I am bookmarking this page, thanks!

[bobbertrailer]

Thank you for sharing.
Good info.
Now I know what step should I go for Ezine.

[andyj00]

Have many people put this technique to work? Does it work?
This thread has been running for quite a time so I guess people have results to report by now (or not)?!

[jbsmith]

Makes perfect sense since the other article directories (in my experience) result in very little traffic, so having them supply link juice to yoru EZA is a good strategy.

I have done this with social networking sites and forwarding a link back to my articles on "do follow" blog comments to bump up EZA ranking - works very well.

Jeff

[JodyRossDeane]

There is so much info in all this thread that I am going to have to take a few hours to make notes on all this.
Many thanks to you for initiating this thread.

one thing i have found to get my Eza articles to rank well which is obvious to non newbies is to bookmark it with onlywire and then submit the rss feed and then ping it with pingoat

also i only include one keyword phrase per article and use at just under 2% keyword density

works like a charm

[samlb]

Awesome Input mate... thanks. This is great stuff.

I'm going to apply it... sure do helps my outsourced writers. Thanks.

[Benjamin Ehinger]

I have a question for you pertaining to isnare. Do you just simply submit your article or do you pay to have it distributed?

I see how it works, and like the general approach (and use it to some degree), but agree wtih Emailrevealer that it's better to link back to a related article. That way, readers will get MORE exposure to my info and hopefully will feel even more compelled to click on the link.

Next day I post a new article to eza but when I post that article to the 10 directories that resourse box has a link to "more articles" with a link to last weeks EZA.

rinse repeat...

And the rinse, repeat is the most important part of all...

[wordwizard]

A question about Buzzle.com

I have the impression that Buzzle insists on getting original articles only, i.e., being the first where the articles are published.

So you've never run into any problems with them even though your article is already on Ezinearticles.com?

Thanks.

[bollytintin]

Where is Jeff please?

I saw this post two days ago and made sure I saved EVERY and I just finished reading all the posts some hours ago. GREAT THREAD I will say and I have gained so much ideas from it.

My first article I want to use the method for, just got approved and will definitely wait the whole week to start the linking process.

God bless all that have contributed positively to this thread.

Love you all

[James12C]

Step three is key - leave it for a week - there is ALWAYS a new take that you can add.....

[onuel]

This works perfectly for me but using unique articles doing linking wheels. I haven't really try duplicate content, that would be so easy if it works. Thanks

[Tomwood]

The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that you are sending visitors from 1 article to an identical one hardly a positive experience for the surfer. I belief that it's important to try and give the surfer a good experience this keeps them happy and also Google. This to me makes sound business sense.

To avoid sending visitors from 1 article to another my own twist on this is to write articles in sets so you write let us say 3 related articles and then mixed the links up for example
article 1 on eza is linked to from article 2 & 3 from the other article sites
article 2 is linked to 1 & 3
article 3 to 1& 2

This would avoid annoying visitors and might protect from any future changes at Google who might take steps to stop webmasters linking Identical articles

[bettalove688]

Just discovered Angela and saw that her GoArticles article has over 2000 backlinks. This is a big part of her strategy - to feed her articles with tons of backlinks.

Thanks for the post. You motivated me to reuse my ezine articles - I've saved them all.
