Article marketing test - here are my results

[Quilst]

I have submitted 5 articles to ezinearticles.com. So far all articles together are viewed 100 times and I have 6 url clicks

Can somebody tell me this is good or bad?

[Jeremy Kelsall]

Not good

If you don't mind, can you share a link to one of your articles or even the resource box that you are using?

Ok, here's one of the five articles:
2 Places to Find World of Warcraft Items For Sale

Quilst,

I would say that people searching WoW may already know this info and they didn't find additional value. I would suggest adding a little-known fact in your next few submissions so you appear to be more of an expert on WoW. Don't be afraid to use a really good piece on an article site and let that lead to your blog content.

The article you posted as an example doesn't flow and in some places sentences don't even make sense. Take the first sentence for example,

"World of Warcraft items for sale can both be found in the real and virtual gaming world."

I think what you wanted to say was, World of Warcraft items for sale can be found both in the real and the virtual gaming world.

The difference is in the position of the word, 'both' and the addition of the word 'the' before addition.

I don't know, but it almost seems to me that the article was a re-write, and a poor one at that. I see this all the time. People write weak articles or pay small money for articles that simply don't work.

What's the point of posting something that people won't read all the way through? It doesn't matter how cheap an article is, if it doesn't convert, it's useless. Good Luck!

Your title needs to be refined. You want your article to get ranked in SERPS. The title tag will play a part in this. Think about it from the end of someone searching for information on WOW....

Do you really think that they would place a query search for "2 places to find World of Warcraft items for sale"?

I haven't done much research in WOW, but a better title would be something like "how to find WOW items for sale". or "World Of Warcraft and items for sale..How to find them".

Something to that effect. You also need to take a look at the results of these queries and see the competition. If the competition is low, then it may be worth it.

Go to yahoo answers and look for questions that other people have asked. Do a search with the questions to view the competition. If the competition is low, then they may be testing it.

Those 5 clicks that you got were likely your competitors looking to see what you were doing. If you can't get your ezine article high in the SERPS, it frankly isn't really worth it.
