Funny - I don't have an Exit Links on my other statcounter projects at all ???

Steve, shoot me an email and we'll figure it out.

The results that I get from EZA seem to depend upon the niche that I'm writing in and as I am interested in many things that's quite varied. Overall I get the best results from Article Dashboard and I've usually submitted there weeks later as an afterthought - silly me.

Allen is one of the most knowledgeable article marketers that I've seen about and his handbook is the best information that I've read about article marketing. So I guess that it's worth paying to join his site for the information alone. Something I didn't do and maybe I will now that results are looking good.

As for paying to submit articles, there are a handful of directories charging fees about and I have considered going down that road myself. The reason being that I would expect less articles (spam) and of a better quality. That would save me an awful lot of time that I could use to promote my directories more and provide a better service for authors, perhaps that is what Allen and his authors are finding now.

P.S. Allen didn't pay me to plug his site or handbook!!!

Steven,

Interesting that your click-through rate is the same. I would think that not having any adsense or banners on your article pages would give you a much higher click-through rate than EZA.

If the results traffic-wise are the same then I would think Allen's membership site is a no-brainer...especially since you have more control, no advertisements, and can add video/images.

However, article marketing is a big 'hit 'n miss' game, and I think you'd really need to study this over the course of 100s of article submissions to make a real conclusion.

I'd love to see your results in a month or two after submitting to both.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I recently joined Allen's article directory. It is great!

I read his handbook and am in the process of reading it again. I have wondered for a long time what article marketers are not telling me about getting article views and traffic to their sites.

Allen gave me the secrets that no one else is willing to share. I was totally blown away be the information provided in his article marketing handbook.

The great thing is, he doesn't tell you that it's going to be easy. He is quick to point out that if you really want to make a lot of money with article marketing, you have got a lot of work to do!!!

I am in the process of revamping my article marketing methods right now and I can't wait to see the results!

Thank you so much Allen!

You are very welcome, Lucinda. Please keep me updated!

Scott, it's only my word, but I do see hundreds of articles get those high CTRs every day. That's what gave me the intestinal fortitude to challenge Steven in the first place. LOL. I knew he'd be completely aboveboard, so I felt comfortable.

With the tools available, it's more hit than miss, at least compared to the other directories that I have used.

For anyone that hasn't already figured it out, Allen knows his "stuff" when it comes to article Marketing.

You get the best of both worlds with him really. This is because he gives tips that help improve rankings/views/clicks, but at the same time tells you ways to do it that are acceptable to directory owners. BECAUSE HE IS ONE!

I've endorsed every product of his that I have ever seen. Not because we are buddies, but because they are just good.

AL, would you recommend submitting to both your directory and EZA...or just to yours?

Scott

[Allen Graves]

I recommend submitting to the places that will get your articles both ranked the highest and seen by the highest number of prospects.

There's a lot more to it, though.

Each member has their own unique list of places to submit, based on their niche and a few other factors. In just about every case, EZA is on that list...in some cases, WA is not.

If they have completed submitting to their list of sites and they wish to additionally submit to WA in order to take advantage of the features, they are encouraged do so.

So I guess the answer to your question is...both.

AL

p.s. Thanks Jeremy. You're stuff isn't too shabby either!

[Allen Graves]

Umm, I resemble that remark! LOL

Thanks, Buddy

Thanks for posting. I was on the fence about joining until I saw this post.

By the way, does anyone else think that the "members as moderators" should be able to tag some people like Steven as "uninfractionable"? It seems crazy that people who post so much value should have to deal with cr*p when they develop stupid enemies.

It's the green-eyed monster. Very ugly stuff.

Allen, don't you mean some people shouldn't have children?

Hey Allen, I didn't know you were a fellow Floridian

[Allen Graves]

I wanted to update this thread without being accused of bumping. So this is the only way I can do it, by editing an old post.

Website-Articles.net is now adding a new dimension to our article marketing service - article promotion!

We are opening a new division of the company called Promote My Article!. This service will take your content submission and submit it to several of the top-rated article directories. You will then choose one of the article directories we have submitted the article to, and we will then begin building niche-related backlinks to the article.

This will not only boost your article ranking, but will also increase the link juice of the article page and send even more juice to your money sites.

This will save our members a great deal of time setting up and maintaining linking pyramids and complex wheels.

Not only that, we will be changing things up frequently based on the results obtained by specific linking strategies.

Current members are grandfathered in. Future members are soon going to have to pay a little more than we charge at this moment. (Hint, hint)

More to come on this! We are looking to launch ASAP and compete with the mass article submission services who spam your article to hundreds of article directories. The difference? We do niche-related submissions (which are much more powerful these days) to blogs, social sites, article directories, then aggregate your RSS, bookmark and ping all the links for you!

Please disregard the following two posts, I apologize for them, and feel free to ask any questions or make comments - good or bad - on our service.

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

Yup!

I live north of Tampa, Florida...south of Ocala. Beautiful country out here. I love it.

We should all get together and do a weekend at Disney/Universal Studios. There are quite a lot of Florida Warriors.

Taking 15 days to answer a post is called bumping.
