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

[Jeffrey Louis]

I am constantly reading the posts on here and everyday (usually multiple times a day) people have article marketing questions. There is no problem with asking questions. Questions are how you learn.

What I'm about to share with everyone is a step by step method how article marketing has worked for me, and I hope it can benefit everyone. If you don't implement it, maybe it can give you some new ideas of your own.
This is my opinion on how to get the most traffic from an article.

Okay - this method is assuming you submit all of your articles to EZA, with a good title, good article content, and a good resource box.

**************************************************

1st Step: Open up Word Pad - or whatever you like to use. The program you use must be easy to copy and paste that is really the only requirement.

• Type out the keywords you are going to target in your article and separate them with commas. -- press enter a few times
• Create your title --- then press enter a few times.
• Create your article summary --- press enter a few times
• TYPE THE ARTICLE ---- and press enter a few more times.
• Then of course type up your resource box.

Each part of writing an article is equally important do not neglect anything. Once you are done SAVE YOUR ARTICLE TO YOUR COMPUTER.

**************************************************

2nd Step: Submit your article to EZA. (ezinearticles.com) This should be easy because you just saved it to your computer. (The reason for pressing enter a few times between the different parts of the article was to help you stay organized.)

**************************************************

3rd Step: Wait one week - my favorite step for my method to market an article

*************************************************

4th Step: After that week has passed you are going to do some more with that article. Go back to your original article which you saved on your computer and copy your resource box. Then yes you guessed it press enter a few more times and paste it below the original one.

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. Once you have completed this...

************************************************** *

5th Step: Submit your article with your new resource box (the one with one link pointing to your EZA article and the other pointed to the site that you are trying to promote) to the following 10 sites:

1. Go Articles (goarticles.com)
2. Articles Base (articlesbase.com)
3. Search Warp (searchwarp.com)
4. Article Dashboard (articledashboard.com)
5. Buzzle (buzzle.com)
6. Article Alley (articlealley.com)
7. Amazines (amazines.com)
8. Isnare (isnare.com)
9. Article City (articlecity.com)
10. Hot Article Directory (pubs.acs.org/hotartcl/index.html)

*************************************************

Wrap up: Ok I know what you are thinking submitting your article to all these sites is going to be time consuming... Really it is not too bad once you have your username and password to all of these sites.

You have everything at your fingertips because your article is saved to your computer!

The traffic that ends up going to your EZA article and ultimately the website you are trying to promote grows exponentially and it is definitly going to be worth your time. I wish good fortune to everyone marketing online and I hope everyone has success.

Happy Halloween!

Linking back to your ezine article might help rank it higher, but I'd rather have my other articles send traffic directly to my site instead of to a duplicate article first. Am I missing something?

[Jeffrey Louis]

Mr. Cloud - your welcome!

Dustin - the duplication doesn't matter it works..

[Mark Coverdale]

First of all, thanks for sharing the info. BUT

If I was looking for information and clicked on an article to end up at the same article in a different place I would just leave the page. (maybe even a little annoyed)
So would this give more article views at ezine without really giving you url clicks.
I would rather a small amount of views and a high ctr.

Do you just use this method to get your ezine article to rank higher in google and make it stick?

After all, its about making sales more than getting a LOT of views right.

Not trying to pick the crap out of the method, just trying to understand its ultimate purpose.

That's the point I was trying to make with my reply. I wasn't referring to duplicate content issues.

Dooly,

The purpose of this method is yes to get it ranked higher in Google, and yes to get more views to my original Ezine Article. To answer your question my CTR throughout this method has stayed consistent to tests I have tried without submitting it to the other 10 directories... the ratio of people clicking on my resource boxes links to views is the same. The only thing that is different is that more people are doing it.

This method is to make your Ezine Article stand out above the rest. Since EZA is the best directory hands down for traffic it dominates especially with the links from the other high end directories. I hope that answers your question.

[Jeffrey Louis]

Dustin and Dooly,

I understand why you would think this... I do not know why it works, it just does. This is what I do, and I wanted to share my successes.

I get my traffic from EZA not from the other directories.

If it works, it works. I have a heap of articles saved to my computer that I have only submitted to ezine so I think I will give it a go with some of them to see how it goes.

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

[al_clark7]

Thanks for this,

I asked a question about article submission earlier on and the replies were great. I got a whole lot of info I saved in a wordpad file. I'll add this to it! Cheers

Great I'm glad I could help.

[Neil S]

Couple questions, did you say to post two resource boxes? Couldn't the same effect be done by just posting an extra link below the reource box to the Ezine article?

And are you using anchor text for the article link to Ezine?

[cadillac48]

What you say works, i have done something very similar but not with as amny article directories.

[pagosagal]

Thanks for your post. I have been looking for just such information. Because all of my articles are just on EZA, I will surely give this a try. Can't hurt and may help boost my rankings.
Can't wait to get started right now with this new information.

[makemoneyu]

you write articles al by yourself? how often do you submitt an article for a product?

Neil, to answer your questions...

did you say to post two resource boxes?
No, just have the two different variations of your original available at your disposal to copy any paste on your word processor.

Couldn't the same effect be done by just posting an extra link below the reource box to the Ezine article?
Yes, it can!

you write articles al by yourself?
Yes, I write all the articles myself.

how often do you submitt an article for a product?
I try to submit at least one brand new fresh article a day to EZA. Once a week passes after the article is accepted to EZA I submit it to the other 10 directories.

[Laura L. Harris]

Do you any software to write?

btw; I liked you avatar.

I have a few different methods for getting keywords if that's what your asking... I like the free methods the best!

Thanks my avatar was taken in Vegas... I was pretty wasted!

I hope that it gets you going strong!

[kkchoon]

I use similar method:

1. Submit to ezinearticles. Wait till approved.
2. Rewrite the article and use article syndicate service to build back links to the ezinearticle's articles.
3. Boost Ezinearticles ranking and views, if hit most viewed in the category...

bam, all the traffic flood to my site...!

[Emailrevealer]

Just a thought. Why not set up a chain?
I post to eza, wait a week, post the same article on the other directories.
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...

That should work... when I do my submissions I actually have them all spread out on an excel spreadsheet so I can see which sites I have submitted them to.

[cloudchaser22]

hi jeffrey,

some of my articles don't even show up in the search engines at all, even with specific keywords placed throughout, they are not indexed at all

i don't know why this is :/

by using this method will it help me get my original article indexed in the search engine?

thank you

It should!

[howudoin]

Thanks for the info jeffery...

It got my creative juice flowing.

Just a quick question...What do you think about this strategy
I post one article to EZA. Wait a week, then post the same article to 10 directories listed above (With same resource box).

Do you think I'll get any traffic this way from other directories as well?

Do you think this traffic will be more than what you get from your method?

Bhupinder

[mrtrance]

Jeffrey,

Great post! So do we need to rewrite the articles for submission to the other 10 directories? Or just submit the same article (same title), but change the resource box links to one of them pointing to the EZA article correct?

Bhupinder

Bhupinder -

You can use this strategy.... I have tried doing this before, however the point of having the link to your original EZA article is to pump up it's value to the search engines! Since an EZA article is already extremely powerful without the links from the other article directories pointing to it, it becomes unstopable with them!

[cloudchaser22]

howudoin,

if you did that, and a reader happened to read the one week later article, then

click, wouldn't they be sent back to the same exact article and be like wth?

[Zach Booker]

Great post, worth a try.
I think the problem of people clicking the link at go articles, or the other 9, and coming back to the main eza article could be easily fixed by having a resource box catered around just one link mainly and than have the EZA link at the very bottom of the resource box sort of hidden?
Sorta like
"click here now to make thounsads online www. yourdomain.com go there now!


yourezinearticleurl.com"

I dont know just my thought, maybe i'm totally wrong

Zach - exactly! This method does work, let me know what it does for your articles.

[terryrayburn]

Jeffery,

Any idea on how this affects long-term future, as opposed to linking all articles to your website?

Trying to get my mind around that, since a big benefit of article marketing is hands-free future traffic.

Thanks for a great post.

My good ezine articles have not stopped getting traffic and click throughs if that's what your asking???

[Makabongwe Maseko]

Jeffrey, thanks for this man,

I'm using some popular article distributor and I've noticed some other articles from other authors, their resource boxes had one link to ezinearticles.com and another link to his mainsite.com, Really didn't fully understand why would they want to link to their ezine article.

This really must be powerful because ezine has his original authority, so if your article on ezine gets backlinks, it would be really easy for google to give it higher ranking and dominate more keywords.

I think to maximize the traffic you will be getting from ezines, is to write a good ezine bio box as well, so you get i higher click through rate.

Thanks Again.

[ofir]

Awesome!
Thank you very much.

[Zach Booker]

Cool...
Everybody this will work, and for the amount of effort you have to put in (almost none) it is really worth it.

I can see almost doubling the amount of views on my article using this, and chances are people at go artciles and the other 9 directories will be clicking through to your site not to your EZA article (if you word the resource box right)

Any newbie out there should really consider doing this

Yeah and using those 10 other sites really do make enough of a difference to make it worth your time...

[ajk100]

Jeffery,

Thanks for this step by step process. I needed a more formal way of writing.

I am writing this as I watch the Philadelphia Phillies World Series Champions celebration parade and party. An estimated 3 million people in the city. Amazing.

A good bio box is key for article success. no doubt.

[JonathanBoettcher]

Hey, great idea... makes sense from a long term perspective to do this strategy instead of using both links in your other articles on your own site. Not sure if two links close together to one page really help out or not anyways...

It's the way I have been doing it and it is working... I'm sure you can get away with just one on the EZA article, but I'm not going to change my ways

[JonathanBoettcher]

Yeah... I'm sure two links doesn't hurt. It's just that I don't think it helps that much.

I like the way you've chosen to use the second link on the other sites for a separate, useful purpose.

[microjob]

Thank you for sharing
microjob

[Amira]

Thanks for this advice, great info!

[emha]

nice info jefrei, give me new idea on article marketing. so duplicate content is not issued here since we using same title and content to 10 article directory?
are you using anchor text for the article link to Ezine?

[trioman]

Sounds interesting..I will definitely put it to work. It can't hurt to try this. Thanks for the heads up!

[Prashant_W]

he isnt saying that you shouldnt link back to your articles in the articles in those other directories..hes simply saying that you should include a link back to your ezine article someway below the resource box.

so it shouldnt really make a difference when it comes to the long term.

( This is in response to Terry Ray Burns Post.. I forgot to quote..lol)
